Does anyone get all upset about Jimbo being a nickname to put it in sarcasm quotes? Well, in this particular case I was attempting to deride the way Gus Johnson says it. Which is why I put it in quotation marks. I’m pretty sure sarcasm quotes are something you do with your hands.

This was visually odd to see during a D1 college football game. They could have at least put proper seats in the grass berm area. This side faces the hard camera. Seems like that should be a feature in an endzone feature, not a sideline. I could see them switching the hard camera to the other side once construction is complete on the building. Of course, the turf paint/design would need to flip, but maybe thats in the plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your example, I'll e that Jimbo isn't always referred to as such, and doesn't close a tease for the upcoming game by saying 'now play my damn theme music'. 1 Quote It's where I sit.

BBTV Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I don't see the issue at all with Coach Prime. Things don't have to be the way they've been forever. Not every coach has to instruct (or look) like Knute Rockne. Not sure how many other coaches came into a job with a brand already bigger than the school they're now coaching, and I haven't yet read about anything he's done that's objectively wrong (like a scandal, poor coaching decision, etc.) I also don't think Sanders was wrong in his post-game press conference. 3 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I don’t really have a problem with Sanders, but I still think Colorado is going to win, like, two games this season. Big win last weekend, but I still think it’s going to be an anomaly compared to the rest of the season. 1 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Coach Prime is fun, he seems to be a pretty good coach, and Colorado was actually relevant and fun to watch last week. How long the Buffs will stay competitive remains to be seen, but as of right now, it's a good story and it certainly has people talking. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I even like the cowboy hat. Coach Prime is a breath of fresh air in the stodgy (and mostly idiotic) fraternity of football coaches. We need more coaches like him, not less. As one of the old guys here, seeing people half my age pitching a :censored: over a harmless nickname is pretty funny. Don't get old before your time, kids. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would contend his association with Prime Prep was very much a scandal, just one that's been casually brushed aside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The new clock rules in college football this year seriously suck. I’m watching relatively low power offenses burn up half a quarter by muddling around and not even scoring. Just trying to not get blown out without even attempting to win. Who asked for this? 1 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 They claimed it was supposed to cut down on game time but that was complete BS. There’s less plays but more standing around between snaps and more commercials to fill up the difference. It sucks. 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDAWG Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 With South Florida leaving Raymond James Stadium for an on campus stadium, this leads to an interesting question: should college football teams who currently occupy NFL stadiums get their own stadium on campus? You have the Miami Hurricanes playing at Hard Rock Stadium, where the Dolphins call home, Temple at the Linc and Pitt at Acrisure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
