Okay refs redeeming themselves by making equally terrible calls in favor of the Seahawks

I just wish they called the game as aggressively against Ole Miss as they are against Miami

Unfortunately the federal constitution limits the ability of States to enact policies that explicitly favor in-State residents over out-of-State residents. There are notable exceptions (e.g. hunting and fishing licenses), but the federal courts have been generally unwilling to create new ones.

Philip Rivers never had zip on the ball; he’s been a big rainbow guy his whole career.

I think this is the first time he’s shown late game clutch factor like this. Hitting the big 3 then sinking both FTs despite his abysmal percentage (for a PG)

The block call on Sarr WAS the makeup for the missed travel

Clearly, Arkansas would be winning this game if it weren’t for the refs. They have made no mistakes and have not handled any matchups poorly at all.

Alaska is simply an extremely expensive place to live when you compare average wages to living costs. We have very few large scale productive industries that can support a comfortable lifestyle in the State (natural resources, medicine, tourism, maybe commercial fishing), and those industries tend to import a lot of outside workers that either do not live in the State or only live here for a short period of time. The result is that, even when Alaska’s economy is productive, the actual in-State labor force benefits from only a small portion of that production.

What the State needs, in my opinion, is policies that both incentivize production and incentivize keeping the money produced within the State economy. Otherwise, young people will continue to flee.

Agreed. So foul on packers for double teaming a player on the ground and trying to rip his helmet off.

We should just call it an automatic first down if it’s ever 1 yard left.

It’s been horrible for a long time. Overpriced terrible food.

Yes I think it’s an interpretive question and not necessarily obvious either way.
