@Goredho that is the extent of my feedback as well-- I wouldn't have the first clue what to play over those changes but what you played just followed it perfectly.

Tiger Woods involved in rollover crash. suffered compound fractures in both legs
did they shave his balls as part of the procedure? or for any other reason?

What was your most heart breaking moment as a sports fan?
we needed a George Teague type I honestly don't understand how there wasn't a massive brawl in that game, how our guys just got teabagged for three hours and took it passively.

Texas basketball 2020-21: Not even Shaka can fuck this up...right?
if we lose out, badly, maybe we could end up in the Shaka Smart Invitational, aka the First Four!

Shrug. If you say so. Every Illinois fan (alumni, boosters, etc) I've ever met is way more invested in basketball than football-- the 2005 Final Four was a much bigger deal to them than the 2008 Rose Bowl for example (or that Sugar Bowl they somehow ended up in a few years before that), although I guess that's not apples/apples.

It was 17-6 when it happened, so not one score. and we had the ball at about our 40. Again, it was a low risk call and it's not hard to see what they were thinking-- roll the dice on (again) a relatively safe play, try to grab twenty cheap yards, get within another completion of being in field goal range, let Hunter Lawrence do his thing, go in down one score. The most likely outcome of that play is that Newton takes the shovel pass and gets smothered for a gain of two and we let the clock run out. If we ran that play a hundred times, I bet the actual outcome of a pick six happens once. Of all the things I spent YEARS castigating Greg Davis over, calling a shovel pass in that situation isn't in the top hundred. It's not like he had a noodle armed QB throw a horizontal pass to the wide side of the field and got it picked off and run back. but defending Greg Davis against hindsight is both icky and colossally boring, so I think that's enough

it's the biggest thing they've won since they beat Kansas State in the Big 12 CG in 1998 as Warren Zevon said, "Enjoy every sandwich."

100% agree. I forgot he washed out in Cleveland. He'd be my first call.

Really? During a game? Can you name an instance of it? My question was, who's the best coach you ever saw it happen to? I'm honestly curious. I get that players come to blows in practice, but on the court seems like a "your program is completely fucking broken" moment that never happens to the kind of coaches that Shaka defenders like to point to and say "they almost ran HIM out of town after four years and now he's in the Hall of Fame!"

who is the best college coach who ever had to separate two of his players during a game? I bet there are some good ones, I just can't think of fucking any

A&M is the co-champion of college football 2020 the same way the NIT and NCAA Tournament winners share the NCAA championship in basketball every year

we're really just arguing over what kind of dumb gamble we want CDC to try next I'm going for the "Big 12 washout / retread" gamble, which is actually the safest gamble because if McDermott sucks and we have to fire him, I can just say "what, did you want to keep Shaka Smart?" and your argument becomes invalid some want to try the "pulling a Drexler" gamble, which seems kind of presumptuous about how recruits think, to me I've even seen the rare "dog returning to its vomit" gamble hinted at, which, you know what, we kind of deserve that.

the fight started because of a misunderstanding you're supposed to walk up to the guy AT THE BAR and say "Mind if I push your stool in?" not in the restroom

No, but only because he's been successful everywhere else and that one stop seems like a weird outlier compared to what he's done at Creighton and the lower tiers. Agreed, though, I would like to know more about how ISU fans see his flameout there because there's no reason a good coach shouldn't win at Iowa State. Tommy Amaker has been successful at Harvard in a league that doesn't offer athletic scholarships, but was a tremendous flop at Michigan. Michigan hired him on the basis of his one Sweet 16 run at Seton Hall; he was otherwise a .500 coach there, too, so it seems to me Amaker is suited for Harvard but not major college basketball.
