And I’m not making an argument, just laying out objective facts, not matters in dispute, I get nostagia for the way things *used to be* but I’m not going to endorse lousy practices...in a bang/bang play, bang you were in and bang you are gone, sfw??

And, like, we know about CTE now, the good old days were not ambivalent to science, they just didn’t have it, and btw, the rule is one reason a dad May let his kid play amateur football.

You guys sound like idiots regarding the targeting rule, and *intent* has nothing to do with it when the action alone was egregious, like the TLaw hit, I knew that guy was gone from the first replay.

They both should have been ejected so tOSU got off light IMO, other dude threw a punch...wtf?

It’s a good rule, helmet to helmet play is never, ever excusable, so dumb.

You guys, I thought, were better than that, so fucking dumb.

Shaddap.

The Earl Campbell/Jack Tatum collision is one of the best plays I've ever seen. Two men playing football. Hundreds, no, probably thousands of like hits throughout college football history. Never see that great stuff ever again.

It’s me tho, basically you are making the “get off my lawn”/“In my day...” logical fallacy, they have known this rule since high school..., what’s your beef, professional boxers and UFC fighters make a professional decision to forego the risk, and so has the NFL which applies the rule tighter than NCAA imo, questioning “targeting” on the TLaw play *is* dumb, and I like you cap but your argument is flawed.

You don’t like NCAA or NFL football don’t watch it.

That’s also a choice, but the idea these rules could be reversed is a non-starter...

The professional referee which I’m sure you categorize as an *apologist* was good enough for me and his logic was sound, good enough for me, and correct I thought.

If you think football should be played in a manner in which you can potentially end a players career, that’s sad, and you are detached from reality if you *argue* Tlaw lowered his head, go right ahead but I’ve seen the game 3-4 times including replay, and it’s just not factual.

Making it a 15 yard penalty is condoning targeting, what’s your solution but the rule is clear and was correctly applied, say you don’t like the rule and own it, and don’t equivocate about whether it’s a good call or not, just say:  “I don’t like the targeting rule” and shut the fuck up, I’m sick of it.

Interesting post #2.

Final.score, 29 - 23. Gotta get me some of what jb was smoking.

Yes, me too, forgot that but thanks for props, my crooked logic was right on, but
and I look like a Vegas sharp, but if I had that in my 20’s I would be set, better lucky than good but we did cover.

Further, if I’m a top 10 pick and we play at 7 or 8 there’s no fucking way I risk throwing away $10 million dollars...

Like Tlaw and Higgins almost got concussed anyway, why should you further subject them or a Heisman winner to playing a semi-final “*” game??

The MacIlroy logic just means more teams get spiked in order to have a *true* #4:  dumb.

Unless there is a bye in the system, why should you have to play UGGA or ALA if they didn’t win their Conference, and yeah there are 3 teams that by the end of the year we’re better than everybody else, that same logic means probably 3 of 4 teams probably get smoked in a quarterfinal game, it’s bad tv, and you risk injuring the cream of the crop, and possibly render what they’ve done to that point meaningless.

When I watched it again, and tOSU went all in, and we threw to Etienne was, jeez, we just stole their Dobbins play that had fucked us, but there was nobody back just like we got burnt.

I’m not so much a  Dabo defender as I am amazed at what he’s done and we don’t share the same exact belief system, and you (not You) can think it’s dumb, but we recruit Georgia (our last 2 #1 QB both rings...), Florida, and yes AL (#1 WR Ross), LA (#1, Etienne), down here Dabo’s thing is working for us and you (not You) can think his belief system is not what you prefer (me too), but it fucking works.

I just hope he stays away from LGBTQ community, because when I heard “I’m not a part of that because I refuse to be defined by my sexuality...”

So the latest thing is that you can’t name even a preference, even though everyone has one, you just can’t *say* it, so, same lens thru which I view atheists and Bible thumpers, whatever works for you...

For us??

We'll stick with Dabo for now.

Given that I spend an extraordinary amount of money for U of Michigan, there's no way I'm rooting for Ohio State. But there's equally no way that I'll root for Dabo.

Think of it as investing money, not spending it.

What's your beef with Dabo?  Besides, his name being Dabo.
"God's favor"  has nothing to do with winning college football games
Heard SWINEy on the.radio while waiting to exit. My son's response to his interview was, that's why we lost. God fucked us! Bastard.
Well, yes he needs Jesus in his life obvi.

Dabo may overdo some of the “god stuff” for this lapsed Baptist who struggles with issues of faith and organized religion, but let me say this:

I am not steeped in the culture of coaching theory but I know enough to know that coaching through love and accountability rather than fear and punishment, of positivity rather than blame, and creating a culture of brotherhood, while not novel, I’m sure, has been a very successful recruiting, coaching and leadership model for Clemson and it’s author, one Dabo Swinney.

By the way, he is a loving father figure for many athletes who need that, whether it’s a kid (the Safety that caught the game winning pick) who lost his father to ALS in 2016, who Dabo had known since he was a kid having played with his dad at ALA before dad went NFL.  The year prior Dabo had scholarship slots to fill he gave film of the unrecruited kid to Venables, and now, the rest is history.

Google Nolan Greenville News for full story...

...or an urban (black) kid with an incarcerated, absent, or dead father who needs a safe caring environment (not Miami) and some leadership and “brothers” with his best interest at heart, it’s worked...

And call him a bible thumper and ridicule him for the all glory to god shitck (and I get it) but understand that he has created a culture of brotherhood and love that also happens to be the most dominant paradigm in college football at the moment. 

You can win other ways but he doesn’t recruit talented 5* thugs or primadonnas, have at them the rest of you.

I don’t think he’s alone in his philosophy but I believe he’s been revolutionary in creating results out of those simple, and yes, Christian, ideals.

So there is that, as cornpone as it is...
