Should a SEC team beat Appalachian State in their home stadium?

Commentators said it was NFL height in JerryWorld, is that true?

Hogs make it if it was college height.

A kicker would never hit the uprights if they intentionally tried to

If a coach is making $10 million per year. Should he have a better record than 8-4?

Heard on Arkansas radio yesterday that college height posts were used.

Texas and A&M will be great in the conference together. They're always back, but never back to being good.

For PATs it should. But you have to call which upright before the kick.

If a team is invited to a bowl game.

Should they forfeit if they can use Covid as an excuse?

Yes, it looks like it. This should be enough motivation for the Hogs to push for the game to return to home and home on-campus.

Not necessarily. Rule says the entire ball has to pass between the outside edges of the uprights. And the ball is fatter than the upright posts.

So if the ball goes over an upright, and any portion of the ball is outside the outer edge of the goalpost at the point where the ball goes over the goalpost in the estimation of the official standing underneath, it will be called no good.

So even when a ball goes over an upright, it has to be a little bit more towards the inside to be consodered good. Hogs kick on Saturday seemed to hit pretty dead on. Good chance it would have been called wide right even with a shorter goalpost.

NFL height - true

Hogs make it if college height - not true

Over the upright is usually no good.

See above.

A&M has never really had a dominant era. Perennially mediocre.

This is like those Missouri posts trying to claim they actually won because it was really an illegal forward pass, not a fumble.

In other words, retarded.

No. Not perennially mediocre. A&M was fricking terrible from 1940 to 1970. That's where Arkie and the fricking longhorns racked up so many wins.

As far as having a dominant era, it would have been from 1915-1939. But...yeah. Not really all that relevant.

The problem is that 2022 A&M is not 1960 A&M and old rivals like Arkie and the sips can't seem to view A&M in any other light.

This is a myth that has been perpetuated in the media. It is false. By rule, the ball must pass between the uprights. The space above the uprights is treated as if the posts extended infinitely above. Over the top of an upright is not between the uprights. It must pass between the inside edges of the goalposts, extended in the air above.

LSU fans will remember... ...that in the infamous Oklahoma State loss that put Alabama in the BCS championship game in 2011, the deciding field goal attempt went directly over the top of one upright. The kick was correctly ruled no good.

Actually, it says that the ball has to pass between the inside edge, not the outside edge. Passing between the outermost edge wouldn't make sense, because it would treat a ball traveling on the same line differently than a ball on the same line 6 inches lower that hit the post. If the rule was written as you described, it would require treating the goalpost like a baseball foul pole.

See the link I posted.

About 4 times during the game the showed the Arkansas and Aggies cheer leaders. Arkansas kept showing hot chicks in short skirts. AM side the kept showing dudes in tights.

Was thinking no wonder the Ag fans catch so much hell. Not a single female Aggie cheerleader to be found

If an SEC team loses two times in-a-row to another SEC team, should they start referring to the winning team as "Daddy"?
