Is it a sign how bad things are when Mavs sleeps in and blows off creating the *** Official Game Thread ***?

They did against Purdue fwiw No they didn't.

It does have that Douglas Adams 5 book trilogy feel to it.

7. The Pride of All Nebraska will be there.

Fact or fiction: Ozigbo doesn't get a lot of YAC. I got the play-by-play and distilled it down to just Zig plays, then I went through them. Here's what I found. Zig had 18 carries; 17-170 and one was called back because of Foster's PF. Of his 18 carries, 5 of them had YAC greater than 5 yards, 11 were 1-5 yards, and 2 were stopped at contact. So I rate this a fact. Zig doesn't get a lot of YAC but he does consistently get 2-3 yards falling forward. Other things I noticed, Zig is used mostly on 1st and 10. He had 13 1st down carries, 4 2nd down carries, and just 1 3rd down carry. Also, 2AM thinks Zig has a 42" vertical, he over threw Zig twice.

I like double meaning word play here.

He's 4th with 20 tackles, behind Barry (37), and Williams(25) and Young(25).

Unjust punishment has negative side effects. One of the possible side effects you cited is team division. @WyoHusker56 is giving another negative side effect, resentment of the coach handing down the punishment.

You old school Bear Bryant guys haven't been listened to Frost very close. Fear, shame, intimidate, and the like aren't going to be used as coaching methods.

"the way you treat people in the lunch line" Holy sh!t, it's everything here.

More yards than the opponent + more penalties than the opponent + more turnovers than the opponent = more losses than you can imagine

Clock management!

I'm really drunk and have been told to watch the game in the bedroom

Yeah, but that feature is only available to users with the internet.

I feel the same way (but it implies the coaching staff isn't playing the best player). Mazour had a couple nice 4th quarter plays. Here's one of them.

The rush end beat a 2 on 1 in open space, how many of those should you win?

Yep. That's the problem with playing a fast, talented, disciplined team.

Even if Martinez gets Gary hamstrung, the safety has a shot at stopping the play for no gain. Michigan is just too fast for that play to work.

Here's the second play of the game, the Martinez option

Lighten up Francis

And if we call you Frances, you'll kill us?

A better comparison would be UCF-Michigan the year before, they got whipped 14-51.
