One good thing. Because I am out of market the NFL package from YouTube (RIP off) is almost $400.
I found out that if you have a college student in your house you can get the Package for $120.
YouTube is a rip off monopoly that has to be attacked and from my understanding it will change.
You should be able to buy "your teams" games. Maybe like ten bucks per game.
Yes, the beginning of the season is always exciting.
I did watch some of the QB prospects play on Saturday. Manning, Moore, Mateer, Mensah. I didn't see Sayin, Carr, Mestemaker.
Manning, Moore, Mateer, and Mensah all looked good. So that is encouraging.
I watched Sayin and Mestemaker.. Oklahoma State just plain looked bad. They have a bad Oline and everything followed. Mestemaker played scared. Sayin looked exactly the way you would expect against Ball State.
I also thought Moore looked the part against, "maybe" a better Boise State team. I didn't see Manning, Mateer or Mensah.
Following video review, it was determined Western Michigan's #18 started his jump from an established out-of-bounds position (left foot) and made contact with the ball with one second remaining on the clock. As shown in the provided video of what was viewed during the replay process, a side-by-side view of the play and the game clock, using a direct shot of the game clock in the stadium, was used to determine the final ruling.
Eighty-five minutes prior to the game, all broadcast cameras used for the replay system, including the camera on the game clock, are synced using a strobe system to ensure all cameras are aligned.
Per NCAA Football rule 4-2-3-a, "A ball not in player control, other than a kick that scores a field goal, is out of bounds when it touches the ground, a player, a game official or anything else that is out-of-bound, or that is on or outside a boundary line." and thus the clock is stopped
....If all broadcast cameras are synced, why wasn't it synced as they're now trying to show on the broadcast? It smells a little fishy.
Not only that, but the "new" camera view with clock...and I realize it is in slow motion, but even in slow motion it stays on "1" for a long time. I wish they would show it from 4 seconds and let it roll. A lot happens in this newly released video during that 1 second.
IF you are able to see the list, you can make note that none of them played a decent team.
CJ Carr is playing Wisconsin this week, it might be the best match up of the QBs for this week. It could be argued that Boise State has been competitive the past several seasons, so Dante Moore might have a good matchup as well.
Excel sheet online. I can't figure out how to post tables in this format.
Lanorris Sellers played Kent State but they pulled him early in the 2nd half because it was such a blowout, he ended with 270 passing, 3 TDs, No INTs, 1 rush yard. AI admitted he should have been on the list.. weird.
CJ Carr and Trinidad Chambliss are playing right now.
For me, I am more curious about Monken's "type" of QB vs any particular name and how Monken et al will be able to prop up the QB position this year.
I like what I'm seeing out of the skill groups (Judkins and Fannin as well as the earliest returns from the rookie WRs), and I'm cautiously optimistic about our Oline... so if all goes well our rookie QB should have a nice (if young) supporting cast going into next season.
I could care less what Monken's "Type" is. The QB will more than likely out last Monken.
As for his career, he inherited Jameis Winson, he inherited Baker Mayfield and he inherited Lamar Jackson.. I don't see a pattern, except he coached what he was given.
I want the best possible player to build an offense around, not just a type to run Monken's offense.
I don't expect a lot out of this season. It depends heavily on this rebuilt O-line as you already mentioned. It typically takes some games to gel when you get a new guy or two.. they have 5 who have never played together. If they can learn to play effectively early, we could get some surprise wins if the QB doesn't lose games for us.
I agree, growth is the most important ingredient here, nothing helps a young QB more than an experienced team around him...
I certainly am not honing in on Manning though, too much talent at the college level right now to focus on one player.
I have a lot more confidence that our O can be at least somewhat productive with Monken than I would if Stefanski were still here. TM has the kind of personality to push and drive this team to do well whereas KS didn't seem to be able to light a fire under anyone.
Having coached for a long time. I get into dugout mode. When that happens I am locked into every pitch. I am looking at everything. Defensive positions, catcher set ups, base runners, everything goes into computer mode calculations. Time disappears.
I have a great passion for baseball. It is so hard to win a World Series. When I feel like we have a decent shot. My pulse is working overtime.
I am a Guardians fan and I want them to win but I am a Braves fan to the bone.
I track both teams everyday. When the Braves won 14 straight division titles. I lived and died in post season baseball.
In the 95 WS against the Indians. I was sick and overjoyed all at the same time..
Pit's "focus his every decision based on religion and let the consequences part of his thought process carry no weight" seems to be a bridge or several too far for me.
"What do you think about the end times?" Bryce Crawford asked, referring to the Christian belief that the world as we currently know it will someday end, and that Jesus will return. "Do you think it's here? Do you think it's coming?"
This was the question.
My answer, and I'll even phrase it as it I'm a Christian.
"All any of us can do is be the best version of our Christian self we can be, being that we have no insight or control of that event"
I don't imply any decision I might make could influence or bring about the end of times.
Sure it's a weird question. 100%. While it's open to interpretation, I also think it's a freaky weird answer.... No matter how you try to reframe it.
How would you respond to a question about the end times on a religious podcast? Would you not refer to them at all?
It's sort of a weird question to have to respond to, especially when someone later tries to take it out of context. It's not like he brought it up out of the blue. He's replying to a specific inquiry in a specific forum. They also cut out a decent bit of his response (the [...] in the original link that Pit didn't include in his version.)
Trying to apply a portion of his response to a specific question to all decisions seems a reach to me.
Like if a reporter asked him in the White House how he makes decisions, I'm pretty sure the end times never come up. But when asked about the end times on a Christian podcast, there are only so many ways it is likely to go. Since that was the place and question, to me, it makes sense where it went.
Can you tell me what decisions in his life outside of his office could possibly ever remotely bring about the end of times ??? No, neither can I. Not a real one anyway... I mean someone being a troll or trying to gaslight might argue some bizarre butterfly effect scenario whereby he causes a quadrillion upon trillion to 1 chance of some chain reaction .....
So when he talks about him doing god's work and if it leads to the end of times, he is without doubt talking about his decision making in office.
Yes, somehow in your desire to bring about anything you can involving a question mark you think quoting what he said as strange and you don't find the fact he openly admits he is going to focus his every decision based on religion and let the consequences part of his thought process carry no weight seems perfectly normal and pointing that out is fear mongering? Come on man.
I think you're reading too much into a response to an end times-centric question from a Christian podcaster about his general philosophy and trying to apply it to his decision making in office. Never does he say every decision will be based on religion.
That seems to be others (including the writer and you) bringing their own biases and trying to stir things up.
I know you lover diversionary tactics to alter the discussion in a different direction but what we're talking about here is one side claiming there is direct cheating being done through the act of voting on a scale massive enough to change the outcome of elections. They have shown zero evidence to support that. They have lost over 60 court cases in an effort to prove that. FOX News lost a court suit that cost them 780 million dollars to settle by trying to include voting machines in their conspiracy theory.
In this case it these voter fraud accusations have been investigated by not just one source but by several sources and litigated in over 60 court rooms. The Heritage Foundation has every possible bias and motivation to find and report any such fraud. Yet even they fell short. This isn't a close call. Now if you wish to dig some rabbit hole to the contrary to crawl down into be my guest. But I won't be joining you in that endeavor.
Ok Pit ; Maybe you can explain to me , or put a positive spin on this O Line when it comes to opening holes for our backs .. I just don't see it .. Help an old guy out .. lol
Hopefully misdirection and window dressing can get defenders to "open holes" for us.
I do think we might actually have weapons at WR that defenses actually try to pay attention to now.

For some strange reason as it turns out, throwing out accusations with no substance or evidence and expecting everyone to believe that despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary and no suspect or motive it makes them "care" more. And somehow makes you care less.
They are setting things up like they did in 2020. To dispute our election results but only if they lose. Somehow these brainiacs haven't figured out what a scam this all is. It's fair if they win and rigged if they lose. And they buy into that BS hook, line and sinker.
I think you just haven't figured out that scams can be layered on top of other scams.
To me, it seems that it's rigged no matter who wins.
It's not about caring more, for me it's about annoyance with people expressing false certainty based on numbers they believe because they are told they can believe them. It's like numbers cast some spell on some people and they can't think beyond the surface level. Some group has put out a number, it must be true. There's a number-- that's for sure the truth. Yes, we can trust the government(/some biased organization) with no further examination. They'd never lie to us.
That isn't anything close to what I posted. I gave statistics that pointed to these FA's struggles in run blocking before they got here and how that concerns me.
Or maybe you were just being satirical. Not sure which one.
