A half-assed pass attempt, apparently.

"UMass is one of the best teams in the country at creating turnovers" A sentence that has been true for a long time, but usually not for the reason it's true this year.

They should stir up transfer rumors about him every offseason if this is how he's going to respond.

Patriots meltdown, Rams getting embarrassed. Give me a Saints W and a Falcons loss and it'll be a perfect week 1.

Not exactly, but I'm guessing it's meant to evoke Monroe's history of military aviation.

I was at that game and couldn't remember what series got him benched until I pulled up the drive chart.
Excerpt of the drive chart for the 3rd quarter.

USC - Turnover on Downs
4 plays, -20 yds, 0:48

Alabama - TD

Clemson, if Dabo massively underperforms again? But even that seems like a stretch.

My cousin got married in the middle of the 2024 Bama/UGA game. Walked into the ceremony with them up 28-7, feeling elated. When we got out they were down 33-34, just in time to watch Ryan Williams's 75-yd TD to retake the lead. Perfect viewing experience.

The snake escaping definitely wasn't ideal, but I do think the world would be a better place if we converted every Hollister store into an aquarium.

We had this same exact set at the Methodist church camp I grew up attending, so maybe it's a UMC thing?

It's been his (and most of the rest of the team's) worst game of the tournament for sure, but even still I truly don't think we have better options on the bench.

From what I remember the same folks who complained, including the mayor, seemed mostly mollified and took a little victory lap when the XFL announced the "Arlington" Renegades a few weeks later. Though funny enough, they'll be the Dallas Renegades starting next season after moving to..... Frisco.

I don't remember any grumbling from FW, but the folks in Arlington definitely complained at the time. www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/f...

It's a pretty good comp. You can study the tendencies of the pitcher/kicker and make an informed guess about what's coming. And you can have elite hand-eye coordination. But at the end of the day, you just have to hope you time it right and pray the ball goes where you think it's going.

It maybe(?) has to do with the place name beginning with a vowel vs. consonant, because South Korea or South Carolina would be Corea del Sur and Carolina del Sur, respectively.

I don't know the exact reason, but that's just generally how it works when used as a prefix (e.g., Sudamerica for South America)

Side note: There are several really good books on the origins of the PK, but the inventor's grandson wrote one a few years ago that's only ~200 pages and seems like the type of thing you'd be interested in.
The Penalty Kick: The Story of a Gamechanger

'Football in the 1880s was an unruly, rough, and often dangerous game. To curb the state the sport was in, William McCrum proposed a new and drastic sanction. He called it a penalty kick.'

It's not a bad theory, but I still don't get why more people don't connect it to offsides penalties in (American) football. We love receivers dusting corners, but we universally understand they can't run past those defenders until the ball is snapped.

FIFA watched last year's Club World Cup games played in a bunch of half-empty stadiums and, instead of learning anything from it, decided to double down and bet on "But surely the actual World Cup will be different, right?"

I think I have it, though there are a couple names that threw me off. Without giving the game away for others, would Michael Thomas, Mark Ingram, and Jake Kupp fit?

Yeah, but you can log most "miniseries." And their delineation between TV show and miniseries is hazy at best.

I went to a screening of Blazing Saddles where a group of older white guys in the audience were pretty clearly watching it with this mentality. Quiet through most of the jokes, raucous laughter any time the n-word was used.

I like to imagine that his original intention was to do the Mike McCarthy thing of "taking a gap year to visit different teams and study under other coaches," but no one wanted him around their program.

Exactly what happened with Kool-Aid, at one point he was set to be the first dual-sport basketball/football recruit at Bama under Saban. That lasted until August of his freshman year, at which point the "oww" set in.

Beyond the fact that they don't look alike, they're more than a decade apart in age!! It would be like modern-day Johnny Manziel slapping on some makeup and pretending to be Fernando Mendoza.

Mike Ditka did the first half of that plan exceedingly well, but I'm not sure the 1999 Saints were having all that much fun.

UMass has gone a tragicomic 14-134 since joining FBS in 2012. Nothing else has worked, so maybe donating $1/loss to the Charity Bowl will appease the football gods and turn things around in Amherst. @hollyanderson.bsky.social @channel6.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social @dreyesceron.bsky.social
