Plus, consider towns like State College where there is a stadium with can hold twice the population of the town.

Also, the impressive part is that they don't even show any game footage, or even reactions from a sack or TD or a big play, and it still comes across.

It looks like they only got permission to film until the game started, probably par for the course in the NCAA

The story was about the pomp and pageantry surrounding the game, anyway. The game itself was meaningless.

Question: watching ARI vs STL, and an offensive player pulled a face mask. It was missed by the refs. What's the correct ruling and can the coaches throw a red flag?

Almost all penalties are judgement calls which aren't reviewable. Holding, illegal blocks, pass interference etc. The only actual penalties that are reviewable are too many men on the field, and illegal forward pass (throwing the ball when you are past the line of scrimmage, or a second forward pass). I guess you can review illegal touching too, like on an onside kick to see if the ball does go ten yards before its scooped up, but all of those are pretty objective.

BTW what would have been the correct punishment? The big problem is that if you could call penalties for review, practically any play could be called. Someone somewhere is almost always holding, for example. EDIT: Correct punishment is five yards for incidental contact, 15 yards for a grab Mel Mudkiper fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Oct 7, 2012 |

This is a recent change, but there's no 5 yard incidental facemask anymore. Any facemask is a 15 yard penalty now.

The thing about facemasks in particular is that incidental contact with the facemask is legal; and that includes a grab-and-release where the mask is not twisted, turned or pulled.

The pro game became more popular as Army fell off and there wasent major program in the area to take over. Harvard/Yale was a major game for decades. The lack of pro teams in otherwise sleepy college towns in the South and Midwest is another factor in its sustained popularity. No competition.

Why don't the players ever want to hold the water bottle themselves and instead have the waterboy do it for them?

bvlah posted:Why don't the players ever want to hold the water bottle themselves and instead have the waterboy do it for them? Because they have enough staff to be able to do it so why not. It's also easier to have someone go around giving guys a quick squirt while they're on the sidelines or in a huddle during a timeout so they can focus on the coach or QB who's currently talking. If you only have a 30 second time out you don't want to waste 5-8 seconds of valuable time to discuss things because 11 guys were jostling to grab water bottles. Most guys just sitting on the bench doing nothing will usually drink a cup themselves. Also from a hydration standpoint training staffs want guys constantly drinking a little bit during the game, so an assistant trainer or waterboy offering guys drinks ensures that guys are getting fluid. Also water bottles are commonly wet and some guys don't like getting gatorade all over their hands/gloves.

Gatorade is unquestionably the foulest thing I've ever put in my mouth. Is it like "the worse it tastes, the better it is for you"?

I've seen you say that before and I don't get it. Maybe you got a badly mixed batch or something? It's not the best tasting thing in the world for sure, but it's not particularly offensive in my opinion. e: Maybe they're marketing a new Onion and Garlic flavor overseas or something.
