What a letdown

That's how you start OT!

Damn. That was close

Here we go

Chance to move the ball and give Rowland a chance to win it

Don't worry, in 80 years they'll change it to a win while they're in the middle of changing conferences so that nobody will notice.

Bad thing is ksu has one of the best kickers in the country

One thing I like about this team: a couple of bad breaks went against them early, and a couple of big plays. The last few years, this game would've been over at 10-0. This horn team has some fightback in them.

He went for it questionably a couple of times against Maryland as well, and I thought those were turning points in the game. I like him, but that's four times already this season he's gone for it in questionable situations, and they're 0-4 on converting.

i talked to a neighbor who's been running 3 small dehumidifiers in his (small) house for 3 weeks, and he said last night that his moisture is still around 50%. surely he's doing something wrong, right?

I posted a longer winded version of this on another thread, but here's my take on this: if your manner of protest angers the audience you're trying to reach to the point that they care nothing about what you're trying to say, you've accomplished nothing. The discussion no longer has anything to do with police brutality, or mistreatment of African Americans, and now centers wholly around kneeling for the anthem. I think it's safe to say no progress has been made through these protests, and if anything they've driven the two sides further apart on the issue.

I agree that athletes have the right to protest. I don't like the manner in which they're doing it, as both of my grandfathers fought for the flag they're disrespecting, although they also fought for their right to disrespect it. That being said, I have two major issues with their protest: the first is that they're protesting an issue that isn't anywhere near the problem that they'd have you believe. Based on the most recent fbi statistics, a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black man than an unarmed black man is to be killed by police. While there undoubtedly are police officers out there mistreating black people, it's nowhere near the issue, especially in this day and age, that the media and BLM would have you believe. My other issue is with the manner of protest, not because of the disrespect of the flag, but because of its unintended (maybe) consequences. When you protest in a manner that angers those you're trying to convince to a degree that they have no interest in what you're trying to say, you've accomplished nothing. The debate no longer has anything to do with police brutality, or mistreatment of African Americans, and instead now centers entirely around the method of protest. In that sense, I'd say that the protest was wholly unsuccessful, as most of the NFL players' targeted audience now cares even less about what they're trying to protest, and a portion of them no longer tune in to see it.

Well, that's about 10 out of 800,000, so do you respect the other 99.999%?

My previous response is to this article.

Well, the article questions how one person could hit so many people, and "expertly wield an automatic rifle" for so long. With 22,000 people standing shoulder to shoulder, and with him shooting extremely fast rounds, I'd be willing to bet he hit 300-400 people with the first 200 rounds he fired, which would've been in under a minute. It would be almost impossible for a bullet to miss someone. Also, with the minimal recoil of the AR-15, I highly doubt someone would become exhausted shooting it for ten minutes, especially with pauses in between to reload.

you conspiracy guys... Get pissed at the Dylan Roof Burger King lies, and then get on here spreading nonsense conspiracy theories about the Las Vegas shooting a couple of posts later.

Yup, they're fired up. Ags D is getting some serious pressure on the qb

I guess you'd call it a crack back block? But he put the crown of his helmet into the side of the guy's head. And it was unnecessary, about 4 yds from the runner, who was literally at the half yard line. Sumlin went crazy on the sideline when they confirmed the call, which was dumb. I disagree with a lot of targeting calls, but this was pretty much a textbook case of a blow to the head of a defenseless player.

Bwahahahahaha

Anything?

They don't hate federal aid, they hate the people who abuse the system and use it as a career path, rather than a helping hand to get on their feet.

This was a once in however many thousand year event. Houses that should've never been in danger of flooding received considerable damage. For those people, I'm glad FEMA is available. That being said, I know many families who live in Pinewood, Northwest Forest, Countrywood, and Bevil Oaks who did not have flood insurance. Many of those homes flooded before, and if not, many houses around them did. I have a hard time listening to friends who chose not to buy insurance gripe about having to wait for, not receiving enough of, or being denied for FEMA benefits. To be honest, in SOME cases, where people knew that flooding was a danger but chose to forego flood insurance, Big Girl has a point. Those people did not want to spend money to protect their house, and now expect the government to pay for their mistake. That being said, I disagree with her attempt to throw all republicans needing FEMA under the bus. Many, many people were affected by this storm who had no reason to believe they'd ever be in danger of flooding.

To me this hit was worthy of multiple games. Period. I see very little difference between this action and the punch in the basketball game last season, with the exception being that this caused more damage to the player who received the cheap shot. I guess because it's football, where people are supposed to get hit, the severity of the act is downplayed because in other situations on the field it would be a (maybe) legal play. Not only did it play a large part in causing Jasper to lose the game, it cost the Jasper qb at least a game as well. I'd be in favor of a two game suspension, with the option of extending it if the Jasper qb is still unable to play for multiple games.

Fair enough

I don't know if I'd call that a football hit. Closer to aggravated assault. I'm sure the jasper qb would've preferred to have been punched.
