Very odd. Especially for a guy as competitive as Spurrier.BSF21 wrote:Does no one else find it odd that Spurrier leaves in the middle of a season? Doesn't seem like a thing a long time, well respected coach would do. Is there another layer to this that no one is talking about?

Re: NFL 2015 - Week 5
It's pretty much impossible to run a QB sneak from an inch away and have it take more than 5 seconds. It depends if you get any of that fighting for the yard or possibly looking for a new hole, kinda like LeVeon did. And you still have to signal and get it acknowledged. There's just not any room fo...

Re: College Football Week 6
Crazy to have three college jobs open up in a four day span in the middle of the season. As a Virginia fan who is hoping to hire a good coach after the season, it's disconcerting to see so many openings already. USC - the good one - will lead to a waterfall of openings. Illinois is already open as w...

It's just not something I'd even look for. It was probably more obvious to people watching on TV and I didn't notice it. I liked the call before the time out.

Oh shit. Now the MNF guys are saying that since that was an intentional bat of the ball out of the endzone, it should have been a foul on Seattle. Detroit should have gotten the ball a couple of inches from the end zone.
