I've been watching Sam Acho.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
He looks very sexy.
Nebraska is struggling. Down 17-3 to Texas.

Had a double Dead Guy last night, stored from 2009
Pretty good. Not $12 good, but I don’t regret buying it either.
My god. Newton is amazing.

I think I have a mancrush on Newton.

Danielson is a moron
There is no possible way you can call that a touchdown.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Video evidence can be matched up with time stamps.
Match the time stamp of the view of the ball being fumbled with the goal line view.
The way the ball came out it never crossed the plane
I disagree with the call.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Absolutely.
I don’t think there is video evidence the ball cleared the line. There was a direct view of him crossing the goal line without the ball, which means it had been fumbled before crossing. I don’t see why you need to see where the ball came out.
This guy called touchdown

That was the longest one-yard gain ever.

Did anyone watch Daunte Culpepper in college?
Seems like the similarities between Newton and Culpepper go well beyond melanin.
I don't remember Culpepper in college
but I remember the young pro. Bit of a slow read, but guy could not be sacked.
Just looking at stats, I'd guess Culpepper was a bit more developed as a passer at Newton's age.
Kind of hard to tell though with Newton playing in the SEC.
I used to live above Culpepper's old college roomate.

Ah, ok.
I read it hungover this morning, and then I went to read some more of the comments — and poof, it was gone. Really freaked me out for about 5 minutes, and I started to question if I just feverishly dreamed it up.
Texas is confusing Martinez.

Figure we'll get another big turnover and
Mallett, if he’s even capable of returning, should be staring down a three score deficit to start the second half.
I think Outback just referred to one item as "potato fries"
that’s reassuring.
In Australia, we make our fries out of deep fried dingo.
Scientists are still working on the first QB to have an arm made entirely of scrap metal.

Yeah
just happy to hear an appropriate nickname. Wonder if Miles understands how insulting that nickname is.
The scope of things Les Miles understands is probably pretty small
Then again given how well he’s paid he probably wouldnt care if he didnt understand.

Someone used it as proof that Lynch is fast because:
An explosive runner with top-tier speed and power. Has a burst through the hole and in the open field. Has good receiving skills and can be dangerous after the catch.
Carolina won't be relevant to football for a few years
It’s accurate as Newton will be the #1 pick.

JM.
Why did you remove your quarterly on yourself? It was excellent.
A friendly system for a QB with a big arm, talented receivers and a solid line.
I’ve had a nagging concern that the offense isn’t all that dissimilar from the one that Jamarcus Russell rode to stardom.
Who needs Mallet?
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I dunno but depending upon who their next opponent is
I wouldnt be surprised to see them give Mallet a week off as a precaution and then evaluate from there.

And they play Ole Miss next week
so yeah that would bee a good time to give Mallett a week off.

There must be some level of a performance when a player becomes unbenchable
though benching an NFL prospect would probably hurt recruiting.
John David Booty
Which is why Pete won’t bench Hasslebeck until he’s too hurt to play.

I want to see how much this offense has grown independent of Hasselbeck
because I happen to think Carlson, Tate, Williams, Butler, Forsett and now Lynch is a pretty good collection of skill position talent.
Is it too early to say that Force was a steal?
Seeing as how he was a 7th round pick and everything.
Unfortunately, Peppers won't be mesmerized by Charlie's flowing locks.
Since, you know, he doesn’t have them anymore.
Boy that onside kick was sure smart Bo Pelini

Emory Blake sounds like Amory Blaine
protagonist of which Jazz Age novel?
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Great novel of first-year University alienation and pretention.
So, best read in college.

This game is insane.

Time to be a hero Wilson
anyone notice Wilson’s body language? Looks like the only person that expected Tyler Wilson to smack around Auburn is Tyler Wilson.
Holy shit, Texas is winning.
My day got brighter.

O/T: Rangers better not blow this one too
I fucking hate the Yankees. Never thought it’d be so easy to root for a divisional rival in the playoffs.

I hate that series.
I know the Rangers in the World Series is bad for the M’s, but that irrational Yankee hate just keeps coming back.

To be the last team in your division without a pennant? Yeah.

That is not meaningful. What is meaningful is the Rangers benefitting financially (and immensely so).
This team has been held back by a woeful financial situation and giving them money will screw the Mariners.
Same here.
I think the NL wins anyway.

People are terrified of Halladay and rightly so, but otherwise the Phillies pitching is just "good*" and that's against NL opponents.
*and there’s nothing wrong with that, but Hamels and Oswalt aren’t Halladay.
I think the rest of the pitching has a good chance of beating the Yankees. But, I agree that after Halladay it's pretty much a crapshoot.

Yankee stadium is a bandbox. The Phillies play in a hitter friendly park.
Also, the opponents tend to play in the same stadium as the team they are playing against so none of that matters at all.
I see your points. Mostly it's me hoping all my stupid Yankees friends don't get to gloat. And now we should probably un-hijack this football thread.

It is worth noting that the Phillies have a good offense and have just been slumping through the playoffs.
They have the firepower to keep up in a 7 game series.
Go Giants!
Love Lincecum, and that reliever is a scream. His 8 minutes on Jim Rome a couple months ago were so damn cool.

They also look competent enough to take the success and run with it.
Gotta think a world series run makes them a more desirable team to play for.
Good point.
The other is just ego I guess.
Still, wouldn’t it have burned on an ego level if AZ won that Super Bowl?

Random thought
How many stories would it take to reach terminal velocity?
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Nearly 2000. Terminal velocity is like 55 m/s and best case acceleration is gravitational pull, 9.8 m/s^2.
Apparently for sky divers given Reynolds number and general person construction is like <15 seconds. So rough math gives about 2000 feet or so?
So, 200 stories?
I don’t even know what a “Reynolds number” is so I’ll defer to you. I would have bet money the WTC jumpers hit TV.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
A Reynolds number is a descriptor of an objects movement through a fluid relating to the relative easy of slipping through more or less.
It isn’t really this but is sort of like a descriptor of the drag that will be created by an object.
Today's Reynolds number has been brought to you by Saran Wrap.

I'm tired of hearing about this Denard Robinson kid.
Tate Forcier looked like a good NFL prospect last year in the shootout with Clausen, and today too.
Seeing him benched for a gawd damned punt returner pisses me off. Kid’s got a future and the coach is throwing it away for a track star that won’t last 2/3s of a season in college.
I love/hate college football.
It’s such a corrupt bullshit system with mega $$ for big schools and the same winning is everything mentality as the pros. So you get win today coaches who put punt returners in at QB.
Part of me wish they’d just have a minor league like baseball and screw the NCAA. Pay the kids and fuck the bowl games.
You know that Robinson has been a better passer than Tate was last year, right?
And that making the quarterback position look like a punt return is pretty special?
are you comparing ability vs. rating?
Shoelaces can’t pass, and teams are game planning accordingly. The cupcake part of their schedule is over, we’ll see if they win another game.
Well Michigan has already matched their win total from last year with Forcier.
Tate was an ok quarterback last year, Robinson is special. It’s just a matter of it he can stay healthy with all the touches he gets.
He was a freshman last year. So was Robinson.
We talk about Whitehurst developing………this kid is 19. Robinson is like Leon Washington.
It’s not about who has a better potential future like minor leagues, it’s win now with the track star.
Dick Rods job is kind of on the line too
To improve, they should try to become the musical southern cal of the west. - bRuins Nation poster on the Stanford band.
And didn't Rodriguez recruit him?
Forcier had to have known that might not be the best place to cultivate an NFL career.
My POV is I want to see a minor league for football.
I don’t want to see college athletes who aren’t interested in school that can’t make a car payment sitting on the bench for some speedster that has no future in the big dance so some coach can save his job while the NCAA makes a bajjilon dollars…
The coach is playing the kid he recruited that better fits his offense
