Speaking of OL play: what's the deal a few teams do -- Auburn, Oregon off the top of my head -- where when the defense jumps and it's a free play the OL will stay in place while the QB takes his home-run shot? Is it to emphasize that the defense was offside so the flag gets thrown? Are they just trained to not move under any circumstances until the snap count goes off? Even if it's a free play and there's no consequence to a sack or hurry wouldn't you want to protect the QB anyway just to make the deep ball more likely to succeed?

Crotch Bat posted:Like I said, it's very much ado about nothing to me but this is part of why UNC got hosed. It's fairly shocking that nothing ever comes out about bigger programs, especially something like current day Bama, because you know that campus has to be absolutely swarming with agents ready to do anything and everything, like loan a kid a car for 9 months, to get them to sign with them.

Auburn ATH Stanton Truitt announced he's going to UNC after declaring his intention to transfer a while ago. I was disappointed when he said he was leaving and I'm gonna call him a sleeper to be a big contributor for UNC. Started the season as a WR who didn't do all that much but then in garbage time of our blowout at Mississippi State, when there was a lack of depth due to Kerryon Johnson's injury, he got some time as an RB and look absolutely explosive. Also did some of that stuff against Arkansas I think, but later when injuries at RB were a problem again it seemed like his obvious potential was being ignored. So that's probably why he left.

There was another development today in the effort to unionize football players at Northwestern. Here's the link, I hesitate to even attempt a summary given how complicated this is -- in short it appears to be a minor ruling in the players' favor but of uncertain importance or permanence. Yet another reason Northwestern may not achieve their goal of winning the Big 10 in 2017.

KKKLIP ART posted:Clemson Athletics has confirmed that he died "Found dead near his home" is all the detail I see so far. RIP. The Tuberville poo poo, I dunno, I guess Robert Bentley's notorious horniness might be enough to weaken him for a primary but he's not even like an Alabama native and being an Auburn coach who enjoyed relative success over Alabama probably hurts more than helps. If there is going to be a primary challenge the more serious threat would be Roy Moore gathering the Biblethumpers, though he's tried and failed before. Business will fall in line behind Bentley so I don't know what Tuberville's constituency is.

The SEC gave Arkansas a waiver to count their 2018 game at Colorado State as fulfilling the requirement to play one P5 OOC game every year. (They were scheduled to play Michigan who bought out the contract to replace them with Notre Dame.)

General Dog posted:What's the penalty if you don't get a waiver? Does it make the offending team ineligible to win their division, or is it just a fine? Auburn scheduled former SEC member Tulane for Week 2 of 2019, following Oregon at the Jerrydome.

Wait have you guys never heard "he was nailing them from 70 with leg to spare before the game" like 1000x from announcers before a dude misses a 49-yard attempt because practice is meaningless and you just can't do that under actual game conditions?
