College football week 9 thread: The Midshipmen Who Stare at Goats

Watching some of the Colorado-Cincy game this AM, I have to give credit to some of the coaching changes Deion made. Phil Loadholt has made that offensive line better and adding Sapp to the staff as a grad assistant/quality control guy has been very good for their defensive line.

Don't have to like it, but Colorado is definitely a top 35-ish+ team this season. 10-2 in definitely on the table.

 

As devoted CFB fans, we deserve a meaningful Farmageddon.

 

Defender made a great play on the block. He hopped over a Duke lineman and got right in front of the kick. It never had a chance.

 

Using standard math, I'm seeing there's a 5.70% chance that SMU, Clemson and Miami all finish regular-season league play at 8-0.
It seems far more probable than that. In all 11 games, the favorite has an ESPN-measured win probability of ≥ 60%. But getting them all to hit -- as any parlay gambler can probably attest -- is the complicated and unlikely part.

 

So no leaping foul? If he played it clean it becomes even more impressive.

 

I think you can do that if you're on the edge or maybe if you're not leaping over the center or with the help of a teammate.

 

From my quick and dirty review just now, you either have to be stationary at the snap or already lined up within a yard of the LOS. And I’m guessing leaping over the long snapper gets you a flag regardless of the letter of the law.

 

As a Clooney fan, I can appreciate the thread title.

 

The blocker went low and he jumped right over the guy (# 71), no contact. Amazing play.

Lauren Cantrell returns, without the exaggerated southern accent.

A death match between Hope and Battered Aggie Syndrome could be forthcoming.

 

Two weeks in a row.

I know d_bs are inevitable here, but how do you d_b directly below the original post hours after the original was posted, with plenty of time to have seen it?

EDIT: I think I know how. And I'll just leave it at that.
