2020 Week 13 Watch Party

[T-Boone]

Hey - how bad was that kick from the Vandy kicker. Did that really advance the cause?

 

[T-Boone]

They had no kicker. They threw it out to the students for help. She answered the call. Her family was ecstatic. Go screw yourself.

It was a bad kick.
But I like the concept of getting a woman on the team, practicing her up and having her kick on merit when she is the best or as good as others.

People are missing that they literally told her to pooch it where she did. Ironically, it may have been Vandy’s best executed play of the game.

I fear Clemson at full strength with Lawrence will be a lot different in the ACC championship.

This is worst post of the year category. This defense fears nobody.

That was a bad Saturday of football...other than Sparty vs NW.

I would have loved to see her take the run up as normal and then try to sneak an onside kick. If they had recovered the ball it would be one of the all time great CFB moments. If they didn't recover, or it was a bit of a flub, oh well, tons of kickers struggle with onside kicks.

Maybe quality football was lacking. In 2020 there are a long list of reasons why that may suffer. How many 18-22 year olds have a hard time staying engaged during a losing season let alone giving up social time with friends and family in a bubble? The Solid Verbal podcast coined "pack it up, pack it in" teams (with House of Pain's - Jump Around played during discussion).

Results? It was fantastic.

ND over UNC
-for obvious reasons
Iowa St over Texas
-love the cyclones upsetting the Sooner and Longhorn monopoly
Iowa over Nebraska

Oregon St over Oregon
-Nike University is one of the only corporation relationships to a school unashamedly pouring money into an athletics department (primarily football program) lifting it from middling to "top 10" for its own selfish return on investment. I feel one of the first acts a Power 5 commissioner would do is legislate those types of beneficial relationships. How does it look when athletes can benefit from their likeness? Sign with us and we will give Lebron like contracts to the top QB every 2 years and the rest of the top defenders. Nike is at the center of sports marketing where athletes make more than their contracts with franchises. It's arguably a bigger advantage than when ND gained popularity first and therefore got on TV when only one game was on, thus keeping popularity. End rant.
Penn St over scUM
-again obvious reasons, #1 Donovan Edwards
Mich St over NW
-upside down chaos in BIG
Ole Miss over Miss St
-Flipping local Mississippi 4star quarterback, FSU's top 2021 recruit

Ohio St and Wisconsin games canceled serves BIG a dish of what they cooked in August.

FSU avoiding to play anymore in 2020 and the negative recruiting fallout. Somehow they will find the field to play Duke next weekend though.

We can't have all nice things, but beyond Cal gifting Stanford a 1 point win after getting the game tying PAT blocked in the final minute (after a prior FG block), Utah collapsing against Jimmy Lake and Washington after its 21-0 halftime lead, to lose 24-21 (reminiscent of ND losing their 17-0 halftime lead to USC in 1964...besides the national championship ramifications, rivalry, and just about everything but the comeback similarity actually), and chalk holding in the SEC - it was a glorious day of football.
