  1. Sorry, that might have been a bit of hyperbole.
  2. The reply seemed to fit with the flow of the conversation and your assertion that a third kicker would be wasting a roster spot.
  3. Wyohusker56 says that coaches don't even plan for a backup kicker because the odds of them getting hurt are so infinitesimally small that literally no coach would even think about planning for a back up. Why would we need another?
  4. And then they can open it up to the students like Florida did in 2015. https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/no-13-florida-holds-open-tryout-in-hopes-of-finding-kicker-102115 Interesting note, the guy that won the competition for Florida made 2 out of 3 extra points and then tore his ACL.
  5. Except there are 3 kickers and 4 punters listed on the roster.
  6. I’m not saying that everybody has a great back-up kicker that they can turn to. Look how the NFL chews up and spits out kickers. Kicking is hard. Which is probably why all teams should have a backup plan. College coaches are such control freaks I find it hard to believe that most of them do not. But, they could also just be following the plan. A.) Open competition kickers, punters and safeties. 2.) Try-outs with the club soccer team.
  7. Somebody could also spin this as desperation. They had the entire Spring, Summer, and Fall camp with these kickers and they are just now realizing they are screwed if the #1 guy goes down?

  9. I disagreed with the announcers a lot on the Dline today, they kept saying they were getting beat by South Alabama. I felt the Dline played pretty well, they kept the Oline off the backers for the most part. Early on the backers missed a lot tackles, partially due to bad pursuit angles to the sidelines and then over pursuing the hole.
  10. Pump the breaks on Jurgens being the problem, he had some pretty bad snaps the first half but he didn’t play much the 2nd half and there was still no offense. The run game was still anemic. All game Martinez had time and guys open on a number of plays and made bad reads, throws, or just pulled it down and ran into a pile.
  11. I don't see China or Russia on that list.
  12. Edit: Sorry he said 8 year olds. Quote - “That bill was so badly drafted that if I have a child who is 8 years old who wanted to vote and I stopped him, the way the bill was actually drafted I would be charged with a felony.”
  13. According to Rep. Doug Collins (from Georgia) he didn't vote for the election security funding because it was so badly written it would have allowed nine year olds to vote.
  14. He's made his way all the way thru the consolation bracket and is in the 3rd place match later today.
  15. Is the one country in question the United States?
  16. From everything I have read Mexico doesn't even have a National Guard yet. This force was just created in February and they have 1,500 being trained right now. The US trying to get them to add 6,000 to their southern border in 4-6 weeks seems insane.
  17. Here's a 2017 preview for UCF, I think you are overestimating what they had going into the season. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/4/25/15400678/central-florida-football-2017-preview-schedule-roster
  18. More interesting supreme court nomination stuff: The most recent president to fill a Supreme Court vacancy during an election year is Ronald Reagan. In 1988, the Democratically-controlled Senate unanimously confirmed Reagan’s nominee to the Court, Anthony Kennedy. The 13 presidents who have filled Supreme Court vacancies during a presidential election year are: George Washington (1796, Justice Samuel Chase and Chief Justice Oliver Elsworth) Thomas Jefferson (1804, Justice William Johnson) Andrew Jackson (1836, Justice Philip Barbour and Chief Justice Roger Taney) Abraham Lincoln (1864, Chief Justice Salmon Chase) Ulysses S. Grant (1872, Justice Ward Hunt) Rutherford Hayes (1880, Justice William Woods) Grover Cleveland (1888, Justice Lucius Lamar and Chief Justice Melville Fuller) Benjamin Harrison (1892, Justice George Shiras, Jr.) William Taft (1912, Justice Mahlon Pitney) Woodrow Wilson (1916, Justices Louis Brandeis and John Clarke) Herbert Hoover (1932, Justice Benjamin Cardozo) Franklin D. Roosevelt (1940, Justice Frank Murphy) Ronald Reagan (1988, Justice Anthony Kennedy)
  19. This is quite interesting: Since 1955, every Supreme Court nominee confirmed during a period of divided government has been nominated by a Republican president and confirmed by a Democratic Senate. That accounts for 11 nominees in total: Justice Clarence Thomas (George H. W. Bush, 1991) Justice David Souter (George H. W. Bush, 1990) Justice Anthony Kennedy (Ronald Reagan, 1988) Justice John Paul Stevens (Gerald Ford, 1975) Justice William Rehnquist (Richard Nixon, 1971) Justice Lewis Powell (Richard Nixon, 1971) Justice Harry Blackmun (Richard Nixon, 1970) Chief Justice Warren Burger (Richard Nixon, 1969) Justice Charles Whitaker (Dwight Eisenhower, 1957) Justice William Brennan (Dwight Eisenhower, 1957) Justice John Marshall Harlan (Dwight Eisenhower, 1955)
  20. I read it that he is only saying that Democrats have nominated a justice during an election year.
