ND getting calls, shocking.

I don't know if any defense gets away with grabbing a receiver with both hands when he's coming out of his break. I thought it was a good call.

And you can't play after your helmet comes off. That's known.

What calls concern you, specifically?

EDIT: Okay, just as I posted that, ND got away with an uncalled DPI.
 
I almost jinxed the Irish to a w. luckily, sanity prevailed.

rooting for the canes is like hoping you will be spared projectile diarrhea when you are already projectile vomiting. but, nd lost.

whatever. some good and fun football in week 1 but we need to win some games now.

Really really good game. Enjoyed the hell out of that. Takeaway was Carson Beck. I think that's the best I've ever seen him play. Struck me as a bit of a game manager at UGA, and looked like a first round pick tonight.

North Carolina is fascinating for obvious reasons. TCU is pretty good, and we get them in about a month. Want to watch them. Keep hearing Josh Hoover is legit, but I didn't watch them because we didn't play them last year.

TCU started 3-3. Ended 9-4.
Tennessee offered Hoover $2mil but he elected to stay at TCU. He’s on every watch list now.
Go Frogs!!!
 
Didn't see much of the game, was cooking hot dogs and then making smores over the fire in the chiminea, I'll watch some on the DVR tomorrow.

I have no trouble being outspokenly Catholic and admitting at the same time that I despise Notre Dame football. I have stated that specifically to priest from the C.S.C. (Congregation of the Holy Cross, the order of priest who run Notre Dame and a number of other smaller universities.)

When Miami was outlaw I didn't have a problem with that. After CU at one time my favorite college team was Barry Switzer's Sooners. Both teams lived on the edge of the rules and often the law but they made no bones about it, they did what they needed to do to win and weren't going to pretend like they were some pristine model for others to follow.

Notre Dame has always done everything they can to come off like they are some kind of ultra clean program that is a model of Christian virtue. If you are going to represent yourself as a representative of a Church be it Notre Dame, Baylor, BYU, or any other church affiliated program either admit that you stretch the rules to win or be willing to sacrifice wins to hold to your standard.

On multiple theological points I am far from agreement with the Mormons but history has shown us that BYU is willing to uphold their standards even if it cost them games. Remember a few recent years back BYU cost themselves a good chance to advance at least a couple rounds in March Madness by suspending a player for violating the schools sex outside of marriage standards. However you feel about the rule they were willing to sacrifice to hold to the standard.

Notre Dame in contrast has knowingly recruited and kept thugs like Michael Stonebreaker who hit almost as many stationary objects with his car while driving drunk as he hit ballcarriers. Among many issues they hired Lou Holtz (Schluw Holtsha) as head coach knowing the he had left every prior school he coached with penalties for recruiting and other rules violations, a record he continued at Notre Dame. he was a winner but he was also a known cheater. Lou was the coach when Notre Dame was caught handing out prohibited substances (steroids) in the locker room.

The aren't as bad a Baylor (almost nobody is as bad as Baylor) but I find them to be a poor representative of the Church they claim to represent.
