  1. Where have you guys been? I remember ESPNews being a channel back when I was in the 6th or 7th grade over a decade ago. Course back then it was basically just a half hour version of SportsCenter that was continuously updated throughout the day and airing 24/7. Never had any live events or anything.

     

    I know it's been a channel for some time. I didn't know they showed live games on it - other than the occasional start of a game while the previous game on another channel was finishing up.

    Can we start over once conference play starts? Didn't see this thread until just now.

     

    Yeah, that would work. Remind me in a couple weeks and we'll do Eliminator 2.0.

     

    When does the conference slate start? For some reason i was thinking there was conference game either this weekend or next.

     

     

    Penn State and Rutgers play this weekend but this game was scheduled before Rutgers joined the B1G so it's earlier than the rest of conference play. The rest of conference play doesn't start for two weeks.

  3. You remember this conversation?

     

    Wait??? What?

     

    Georgia Tech would be expected to have fewer rushing plays of negative or no yards because of the offense they run?

     

    HUH?

     

    It'd be the total opposite! They ran the ball 790 times! They run the option IN WHICH YOU PITCH THE BALL BACKWARDS.

     

    EVERY TEAM THEY PLAY KNOWS THE RUN IS COMING. Their offense faces 8 men in the box every single play.

     

    This is a testament to the option offense and how crazy difficult it can be to defend when executed as well as Georgia Tech does.

     

    You need to own this. You are wrong.

     

    By the way, Nebraska doesn't play the stiffest competition in the books either, especially last year bud.

    You obviously have not actually watched Georgia Tech play. Just catching the highlights doesn't work.

  5. Here's an interesting stat. It's more relevant to a slightly different discussion but it's something to keep in mind going forward:

     

     

    So Georgia Tech - who runs a ton of quick-hitting plays and would would easily be expected to have the fewest such plays because of the offense they run, not to mention competition they play - still has 20% of their plays fail to gain positive yards. And part of that stat is Georgia Tech would probably have about the fewest sacks of anyone because of how few times they throw the ball.

     

    Last year Nebraska had 587 rushing attempts. That means we would have 9 no/negative yard plays per game IF WE WERE THE BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY in that particular metric.

  6. 1) Coaches are not allowed to contact professors anymore. That's the job of "academic support" now.

    B) He used his personal email to try to not get caught - ​because he had already been told by the administration not to do it

    III) He was trying to get a grade changed to keep a player eligible\

    iv) Read my link above
