Here's an odd idea, does the integration of the former Pac-12 schools into the Big 12, Big 10 and ACC mark the end of East Coast Bias?

 

Pretty wild that a rematch of last season’s national championship game is barely a blip on the radar of a weak slate.

 

She’s baaaaack

 

North Carolina is unwashed booty and Pitt is 4-0 so you know what that means.

UNC by 17.

 

Is Doyel making heart hands?

 

How many losses would it take for Mike Norvell to get fired? Or are his previous successes enough to guarantee him a job next year? Because after the SMU game 1-11 now seems to be a real possibility.

 

Gregg Doyel fucking up covering one of the biggest sports stories of the year because he couldn't help himself being a weirdo will never not be hilarious to me.

 

I know some Auburn folks who believe the Tigers may not win another one, including against ULM and Vanderbilt. I think they'll win those two, or split, but it's similar to FSU. Both are at the cusp, I think, of fans and donors saying "Nope" and recruits saying, "WTF wouuld I go there, they suck."

Rev. Hugh and Sgt. Mike may be hanging with Coach O and Jimbo if things don't change.

 

Why isn't offside a reviewable play? Every play has a LOS view. Should be easy to determine if someone was offside.

I think maybe the Minnesota guy's helmet was partially over the 35-yard line on the onside kick, he was leaning forward, but his feet clearly were not. And I'm not sure what the offside rule is on a kickoff; is there a "neutral" zone, like a play from scrimmage, or is offside on kickoffs determined by the players feet, not his body parts?

Either way, if you're going to make a call like that, you have to be absolutely, positively sure there was a rule infraction, and from the replay there is no way that was possible.
