re: The Safety That Wasn't

I was certain it was a safety, but his arse, knee, nor elbow ever touched the ground.

GOOD CALL...

What is the rule for hand or wrist on the ground?

It used to be hand touches the ground, player is down. Then they changed it to wrist had to touch the ground to be down. Then I think they changed it to neither hand nor wrist constitutes the player being down.

What is the ruling now? Because clearly his wrist was touching the ground (IMO his legs never touched the ground).

So, you're saying he was standing up?

Oh look at mr money bags here. Just lord it over us, why don't you?

Nice.

Looked at it close. That looks pretty close to the last trailer I pulled with my last half ton truck. Just depends on how you want to use it. Its pretty close to the floor plan on ours.

It's perfect and affordable for me and the dog. When the GF and kid come along, it'll shrink up a bit. Good starter though. Best floor plan they have by far IMO.

I just now watched the full play at full speed and slow-mo for the first time, and holy shite

1. Bryce Young was 100% down. His entire shin is all the way up to his knee was on the ground, long before he even started his throwing motion let alone got rid of the ball. Safety.

2. Longhorns player #0 is at a full sprint towards Young with his hands up in order to deflect any potential pass. He gets to Young in the endzone and dives over him with his hands out.

"But but but he nearly took Young's helmet almost halfway off! Clearly roughing the passer!"

If THAT is roughing the passer, then any time a QB is simply touched or grazed by a defender counts too. #0 literally DOVE OVER Young in order to avoid hitting him and causing an *actual* penalty. He did everything right that he possibly could in order to NOT rough the passer but still make a play. That is what every referee in football wants (supposedly)

It's funny to me that the Bama fans are the only ones defending this. "We just have superior football intellect that nobody else on earth could possibly possess, guys. It's totally not because we're biased obviously."

I hate that I'm having to defend Texas here, I despise them as much as anyone. But that shite was a blatant shitty call, I'm not sure why it's so hard to just own up to it. It's not like the game can be overturned now.

HOWEVER, Texas still had all the chances in the world to win that game despite the shitty call and couldn't get it done. It's still a loss where they couldn't capitalize on a messy Bama in a hostile environment.

I didn't spend 5k on loudspeakers to listen to football talking heads. (not to mention a a music collection of well over 3,000 albums and 40,000 individual hi-res songs.)

I live in the Houston area, so I doubt it. I'm a native of Alabama, but Texans are pretty friendly and they like to party. Come on down!

Write it down. I work in power plants around Houston and such, for projects. I'm gonna' do a road trip to Austin or Houston, just for fun. One time, we got cheap hotels in Kemah. That was outstanding.

And I know its in Oklahoma - but I've wanted to drag my crap and do the Knoxville thing. I just ought to do it. I think I will.

Huh? Are you suggesting the refs just lie about the call to help out UTx? Because that is exactly what they did.

I'm suggesting they misspeak if it prevents egregious outcomes.

No shite ? We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express there. Which was pretty damn nice.

And the bars. And the shops. And the marinas. You could just walk around there, beer in hand in a cup, and shoot the shite and such. It was cool. Big fan of Kemah. Maybe they weren't a big fan of Kentucky rednecks - but they all seemed nice about it.
