Only way UCF gets those types of deals against blue bloods/ borderline blue bloods is if they pull off sustained runs like Boise State or TCU.
1-2 years of lightning in a bottle isn't cutting it. It provides no benefit at all to the teams you're calling out. They wipe the floor with you, it was supposed to happen. A close win or loss, and everyone laughs.
Beat LSU in the bowl game and maybe some decent P5 teams without much legacy (i.e. Aggy) will give you a home-and-home. Beat those guys, then you can talk about "deserving" a home-and-home with traditional powers.
That's because we've never really seen a NBA player completely lose it mentally and have to shop around until he finds someone to give the diagnosis he wants.
The health retirement comes after cesspools appear and the winning starts to fade. He'll be fine as long as he's winning the Big-10 or at least getting to the conference title game.
Nice trade by Cashman. Slight durability concern with Paxton (only one season with 160+ IP), but he's trending in the right direction in that department.
It doesn't have to be a school-specific hand gesture. I think it's pretty clear when a player is taunting opposing fans/players/coaches with a gesture, and thus draws a penalty, based on current rules.
If a players is blatantly looking directly at some form of the opposition (fans/players/coaches) and makes the quiet sign/throat slit gesture/points to the name on his jersey/runs his hand across the school name on the jersey, it's a penalty.
If you think that's taking the fun out of college football fine, complain to the NCAA and have them change the rule.
Based on the current taunting rules:
Opposing players throwing the horns down to Texas fans/players/coaches should be a penalty.
Opposing players throwing the horns down to their own fans/teammates/coaches should not be a penalty.
Texas players throwing the horns up to opposing fans/players/coaches should be a penalty.
Texas players throwing the horns up to their own fans/teammates/coaches should not be a penalty.
I look forward to the day when Jerry makes a trade to theoretically help the team make the playoffs, and the models say he actually decreased their chances. It can't be that far away.
