I think the best way for this to work is for people to post a parent comment for any game they're watching. But honestly y'all can do whatever, I'm not a mod

Edit: I would also encourage sorting by new, but ya know, I'm not signing your check

I'm gonna say it... I don't much like the new clock rules

[–] Zebov@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don't remember hearing about them. Care to enlighten me?

[–] Khavanon 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)
  1. First downs don't stop the clock except the last two minutes of the 2nd and 4th Q.
  2. Can't call consecutive timeouts.
  3. 1st and 3rd Q can end on penalties, they are applied at the start of the next quarter.

I think the first one is really only going to make a big difference, but they want to reduce the number of plays in a game.

Enshittification makes it cfb

JSU and UTEP just saw pt 2 come into pay

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

College used to stop the game clock on first downs

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

That's simultaneously DPI and OPI on 89 for Navy! Gotta call that, ref!

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Very surprised that Sam is still in there

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Let's see some Angeli

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Welp I guess that's why he's still in

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Alright, I think I've got my sicko fill for the early window. Gonna get some other stuff done until maybe the Hawaii-Vandy game.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know the DB got there a beat early on that incompletion, but I'm 100% fine with that as a no call on an underthrown ball. Defenders should be entitled to some reasonable amount of inertia along their existing vector. Nothing feels cheaper than a "let him run into me" DPI call.

Not that it's gonna matter in this game, LOL.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Let the boys play is just a general rule of thumb for me. Unless that contact is egregious and obviously impacted the outcome of the play I think the no call is good.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Week 0 and absolute ass tackling, name a more iconic duo

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like a lovely day for football

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

The Aviva is also a nice stadium. I do always hope some player will sneak a hurley onto the field.

Academies absolutely cannot play undisciplined, but I guess it didn't matter.

Hartman is good. Navy isn't an FCS team, this is exciting, 5/5 touchdown drives my goodness

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I assume Jac Collinsworth is on some kind of registry that precludes him from international travel.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to give it at least the entire first quarter to see if Navy has anything up their sleeves, but this may be more of a ceremonial start of the season for me.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I was really hoping Navy would look ready and nd would look shaky. Not sure that's what we're getting

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boooooo we're happy ND is rolling

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

To be clear I don't necessarily pull against nd, just for tight games if they don't involve Tenn, bama or fl

[–] orangeNgreen@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I’m a sign, not a cop.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

UTEP has, umm, a lot to work on.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Any of you sickos watching this one?

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good luck friend ND fan only

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Congrats on the solid season open

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've been an ND fan since Tyrone Willingham, I have no expectations beyond enjoying watching the lads so thanks

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just tuned in since the lightning delay at Vandy has them showing a Kirby circle jerk. How is that dude somehow so much more self-absorbed than Nick Fuckin' Saban?

I've always been fond of UTEP, but JSU looks like the more entertaining team. Fun Belt is turned it up a notch the past few years, building a geographically coherent conference of schools that are not really big time, but are kind of in traditional college towns or smaller cities where people will care about them.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sensing a pattern here

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The audacity to claim the rule changes are for safety and not ultimately driven by corporate america slithering its tentacles into the sport is disgusting.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

oof, definite fumble on the production there cbs

[–] rhody@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

This should have been the opening game. Way more entertaining than ND vs Navy.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The theme still fuckin slaps yo

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

PUNT OF THE SEASON ALERT

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

But honestly y’all can do whatever, I’m not a mod

THEY AIN'T GOT NO MODS, PAAAAWWWWWWLLL!

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Another solid 1st qtr punt. Not quite as good as jsu utep.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Say what you will about Umass, apparently they have a legit punter

[–] utiandtheblowfish@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Hawaii at Vandy in lightning delay

Edit: the game will start 1h15m after they get the all clear from lightning. We might have a late one here

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You enjoying watching Marty and McGee see how far they can shove their heads up Kirby's ass?

[–] utiandtheblowfish@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Hell no

North Alabama and Mercer are in the 4th quarter

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

wtf kinda camera view is this?

edit; lmao I will donate money to a cause if one of the kickers hits that camera, I could hear it on that point after
