It’s a joke that requires the sideline reporter to serve as the straight man/woman and ask the obligatory “what do you think of your team’s execution?” Since even sideline reporters aren’t that stupid anymore, Kelly finally got tired of waiting and made himself look like an idiot.

Minding the gap
Perhaps someone should teach Louisville and Ole' Miss what targeting is...4 players ejected and there are still 5:00 to go in the first half.

After so many years of this rule, it always amazes me whenever a single player still commits this foul, especially when it's so obvious. The fact that four players have been called in one half leaves me speechless.

I would say maybe 1 out of 20 targeting calls are bad, it's a bang bang play, receiver lowered his head, defender tried to do a proper tackle but made inadvertent helmet to helmet contact, etc.
But that means 19 out of 20 are spot on. Yeah, don't remove the rule.

I like the idea of the "intent to injure" premium triggering DQ and review for suspension. Targetting seems to me to be just that. There's a premium added for intending (or not giving a fuck in avoiding) injury.
After all, what we're getting at with these additional punishments is something beyond the specific action. These are measures taken to protect players against the kind of psychopath players and coaches who use this as a technique.
My only problem is we aren't more aggressive about season / lifetime bans. Tom Wilson has more than demonstrated he does not belong on any ice ever again.

Are the cis okay?
It's just fun living in Michigan with those who think anytime, the next incarnation of Bo Schembechler is going to show up and lead the school in Ann Arbor back to glory.

I assume they will be back eventually. My football default setting for dominance is: Texas - Texas A&M, Nebraska - Oklahoma, Michigan - Ohio State, Penn State - Notre Dame, Alabama - Georgia, USC - UCLA. When any teams among those pairings are weak I feel time is out of joint.
I see what you did with the rivalries, but my Presumed Perennial Powers lost would include Florida, FSU, and Miami over A&M and UCLA, the poor step-brothers to their powerful rivals. Clemson with an honorable mention, but just miss the cut since much of their success is still too recent.

Harumph. The only decade that you remember that I don't is the 70s, when UCLA went 62-44-6 (due to having to forfeit 7 wins in 1977), was invited to 3 bowls, and won only one of those (Rose, 1975). I'm still not sure that would put them on my list.
I heard they won a couple basketball games back then, though....
(remember: I have a UCLA "degree," although I know that kind doesn't count for you)

Still roughly makes (rough) sense geographically aside from UCF, though being the largest school in the country and in Florida (new market for them) that makes sense audience-wise.

That's not a horrible move. The gamble is that in 4 of 5 years, you will have one team in the conference be in the running for a Top 15 spot by October. It's gonna be rotation of schools, with decent year to year turnover. But its about as good as they can do.

I was very surprised to look back and find UCLA wasn't the factor I remembered them as. I just watched so many USC-UCLA games that I conflated them with Rose Bowls.
My "well they should be good" list is dominated by the early 70s, when I was 7 through 12. For example, MLB:
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
Cincinnati, Los Angeles
Baltimore, Boston
Oakland, Kansas City

You also might have been confused with the last decade where every year was supposed to be UCLA's year and it never was. And now they have fans who bring whistles to away games.

I lost touch with sports other than college hockey and the Mets around 1981. The ensuing 40 years haven't really happened for me. How'd Bobby Nystrom doing these days?
