Has St Paul’s ever expressed interest in joining the Catholic League?



No, in fact it was the opposite.

They was a proposal several years ago to put the in the Catholic League and they balked because they "would have to travel 25 miles" for games.

Hard to stress how crowded Santorini (oia at least) is. It’s like during Mardi Gras when the crowd as a whole moves, except here people are all trying to take these little alleyways to get to the cliffs to take pictures, then you have all the flowing dress people, at least they are entertaining to watch



To be clear, I was talking about Rhodes.

It was odd for the officials to check the replay. It seems like that should have been a challenge flag kind of play.



First, every play is looked at and second, there is no "challenge flag" in college football.

I would expect a student of the game to actually know the rules, but that's just me.

they go on strike a lot, the hotel we stayed at had chart at the front desk listing who was on strike each day (taxi/trains/rail line....)

They didn't call Kenny Pickett down when he did that fake slide and ran for a TD a few years ago.

Did they change the rule BECAUSE of that?



Correct.

That is correct. The rule was amended bc QBs were beginning to slide, the defense would back off, then the QB would come out of his slide and continue. A fake slide. So now the QB is now ruled down when the slide begins.



The Kenny Pickett rule.

The scoop and score was called a TD on the field but overturned by the booth.

The targeting call on Truckstop Fabio was questionable. I think that came from the booth too.


So then, your colleague above was wrong?

Do we have clips of these plays?

This guy literally cost Ohio St the National Championship against Clemson. He made two inexplicably suspect calls that gave the game to Clemson. frick him!!!



What calls were those?

Oh and the Tigers would have whipped OSU's arse just like they whipped Clemson's.

re: Auburn Georgia game officiating

The SEC got caught — plain and simple.

That Auburn-Georgia game wasn’t “bad officiating,” it was rigged.
The ref got fired after 9 outta 11 complaints were proven true.
They knew they couldn’t cover it up, so they threw him under the bus.

Let’s stop pretending this was an accident. The SEC protects the teams that keep the money rolling — and we all know it.


So, the S.E.C. told him to cheat and then he did, and they got caught so they fired him?

So what time does ESPN interview him so that he can blow the lid off the whole deal?

Snowflake, your entire reply is from a weak, and snowflake mindset. You haven't built shite, never played a sport in your life, maybe frisbee. The athlete's blood, sweat and tears something you nothing about built that reputation. A bunch drunks and bigots thinking they built something, you have been handed shite your entire sorry existence.



Those "drunks and bigots" are the ones footing the bill for this shite.

Why do you think good black people have to do something about a subculture we don't associate with? Just because you categorize black culture singularly doesn't mean it is. Stop lumping us in with all the other bullshite. We don't know, relate, or gaf about that group of individuals just as you don't about the degenerates in your culture.



You say that, but we've seen numerous examples of how it works when something is done about it. One doesn't need to look too far beyond OJ, George Floyd and Alton Sterling to see the excuses start flowing and the attacks on white folks who call out that sort of behavior by people who claim to not gaf about that culture.

I was shocked by some of the black folks I know who sound just like you in your post but after George Floyd and Alton Sterling all they were able to talk about was how black males are being hunted down by police doing the bidding of white folks etc.

The biggest difference is some black guy decides to fight the police and gets his arse beat or winds up getting killed and 99% of black folks are outraged and ranting about systemic racism. Some dumbass redneck decides to fight the police and gets his arse beat or winds up dead and 99% of white folks will opine that the dumbass redneck got what he had coming to him,

What I say is true, you know it, I know it, everyone here knows it.

That's kinda the rule now - if it comes off as the result of a foul, the player can stay in the game.
