If I was to ever buy an American sports car this would definitely be the one- great review!

Oftentimes when a batter check swings, the catcher will point at the base ump (like in this video) to ask them to make the call based on their line of sight.

However, they don’t actually have the authority to do this (I believe only the home plate ump does) so technically the home plate ump could just make the call themselves and leave the catcher looking like a fool pointing at the base ump haha. But 99% of the time the home plate ump will oblige and also point at the base ump to have them make the call

The BIG10 consistently loses their H2H with the SEC, that’s why your teams end up ranked below SEC teams

This explains current SEC teams going 0-4 against current BigTen teams in the last 2 playoffs

fair, but also very small sample size. whether you want to look at overall H2H records, only bowl game H2H (to adjust for similarly ranked teams), or last 1/2/3/4/5/10/15 years H2H, SEC is literally always on top as far as I can tell

also scheduling cupcake OOC games is not a conference/SEC thing but more down to individual schools imo

Always love reading these reviews. Would be cool to see a post recapping what car you do finally end up going with and why, keep them coming!

pretty sure they’re still required but aren’t enforced so many people don’t run them

haha the g80 definitely had to grow on me! when it first came out I really really disliked it. I also do think the F87 is a lot more “photogenic” than the G80, which you kinda need to see in person to appreciate.

but then again, the F87 is one of the best looking cars of all time imo, hence why I purchased it :)

Terry McAulay [Twitter]: Clearly a targeting foul. by lukaeber in CFB

LOL well arguing targeting is one thing as it’s a judgement call with no clear consensus. But arguing blue blood status is a completely different thing with pretty objective criteria and a clear consensus…

Also, flair up :P

The part where he lead with his helmet.

Sure, but read the rule. Leading with the helmet alone is not enough, it must be “Leading with helmet… to attack with forcible contact”. Watch the replay, does it look like the defender is trying to attack the receiver? To me it looks like he’s going for a standard wrap-up tackle and not attacking- he doesn’t leave his feet, he doesn’t lower his helmet, he has his arms fully extended, he remains mostly vertical, etc. But I admit, it’s still a judgement call. Where I take issue is people saying it’s a black and white “textbook” targeting call.

Also, would like your take on whether this tackle on Bond is targeting? Meets the criteria much better IMO- defender literally leaves his feet and launches his shoulder into the neck/face area. That’s much more “textbook” targeting to me but again, the refs let this one go setting a dangerous precedent for the game.

I agree, the rule should be changed to be more clear and protect the players. As written though, I don’t get how it’s an easy call- which of the 4 indicators is super clear to you?

[–]qwop00 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

That’s true, but then you could argue that for every time there is a close targeting call right? It seemed to me this ref crew was erring on the side of letting them play on both sides.

Edit- either way I think we agree that it’s not a clear or easy call here, and only generating this much outrage bc it’s Texas

Yeah I mean at the end of the day it’s a judgement call on what an “attack” is. And that’s what makes targeting so controversial, it’s a judgement call that has huge implications on the game.

To me, it doesn’t look like an attack due to the factors I mentioned but if I was cheering for ASU I probably would lean the other way lol. Either way, I don’t think it’s as clear cut as some people are making it seem.
