  1. Resident Expert asks this; are they football players running track or track athletes playing football?  

    Unless they are freaks (Herschel Walker / Bo Jackson, NCAA sprint champions ) or a legit Olympic athlete (Michael Carter/ Bob Hayes),  track is not the best use of time to develop football "skills" nor vice versa.   Not saying that track skills don't help football or football training doesn't help with track. But which sport do you want to be the best in and how do you want to spend the time preparing to achieve success? 

    Resident Expert participated in the State Track Meet three straight years. Never heard track mentioned the whole time he was at Denton.

    My daughter and I went to the game and right before kick off she very excitedly exclaims "I didn't know girls could be referees." She then pointed to the sideline judge, it was a woman. I am glad she was able to see that example. It made here like the game even more. 

    Just wanted to throw this in here.

    GMG!

    If she is dedicated to craft the sky is the limit for a female official in any sport.  They are desperately trying to be inclusive.   One of the last great bastions of the "boys club".

    NCAA are cracking down on the offside call as a dead ball instead of a live ball to protect quarterbacks standing there like a sitting duck while often times the linemen that jumped can't hear the whistle. There is not much consistency to it, but they're trying to make an effort at it. 

    It is pretty consistent. It is very situational though:

    They are not going to let a blatant defensive off-sides go on an extra point or a field goal.  Defender blocks the kicks and the sh8t show starts.  They kill it before it gets started.

    The defender jumps and induces the nearest o-lineman to react, they will kill it.

    The defender has a clean shot to the QB, they will kill it.

    The defender jumps, offense does not react, defender tries to get back and is caught by the snap in the neutral zone,  there is you free play.    This is 95% of the time in the interior of the line.

    Despite losing UNT climbed from 44th to 32nd in S&P+. People familiar with the ranking shouldn't be surprised, as Arkansas played well and Liberty and SMU won, making UNTs schedule look better. But the most important part is the following, which to most observers of the game shouldn't be surprising:

    The postgame win probability was 91.2% in UNTs favor to 8.8% for LaTech. This is to indicate that If this game would have been played with the breaks falling the way they usually do (i.e. corrected for luck concerning turnovers etc), UNT would win this game 9 times out of ten, and I can only say that this statistic sure expresses something I felt while watching the game.

    Shouldn't have been that close at the end.  21-3 at one point.  Put the foot on the throat and press hard. Turn overs and a missed field goal at the end of the first half killed it.

    Possible.  But at least everyone "has a shot".

    But I don't like the possibility of there being another "Alabama"; Not even winning their Division and yet played for and won a NC.  Makes any type of division/conference champion irrelevant.  "At large" should at least be a Division champion.  Granted, a one loss second place finisher in the SEC West would be a Conference Champion in most other P5 Conferences.

    I'd like to see an 8 team playoff:
    ACC Champ
    B1G Champ
    Big12 Champ
    PAC12 Champ
    SEC Champ
    Highest Ranked G5
    At-Large
    At-Large

    I honestly think that's all that's needed.   
    The G5 team would have a huge following as all of the other G5 conferences' schools would likely be pulling for them to win.

    And you would still have three SEC teams in the playoffs and two in the National Championship game.

    I am curious if we know the team hotels for away games?  I will be attending the game at ODU and would like to stay in the same hotel.

    Thanks

    Generally teams stay in hotels/towns 45 minutes to an hour away from where the game is. Even home teams will leave town.    

  8. It was a C-USA referee crew... you can bet your ass they are catching hell for allowing it.  They gave the okay to do it in their pre-game coaches meeting. That is why UNC Switzer got the Inadvertent Whistle. The refs didn't know about it and to be on the look out for it. 

    Refs will tell coaches when approached with such schemes that it has to be perfect, black and white and no kinda- sorta or they will nail them.
