Who do we like today?

I'll go chalk; UM over TCU and UGA over OSU. Both 10+ point wins.

I'm not good at this.

I feel bad for Noah Ruggles. Solid kicker his entire career, it sucks that he'll be remembered for that miss.

Classless "WTF was that!!!!!" twit by LeBron, who knows what it's like to fail (and succeed) at the end of a hard-fought contest.

Didn't realize, cause I am in Central Time, how close that miss was to midnight.

I feel bad for Ruffles too that Day made a pretty weak effort to get anywhere closer after that Stroud run.  As for Lebron, it's ok, I'm sure he's magically a pretty big TCU or UGA fan.

In non-CFP action, Iowa being their embarrassing self in new and fun ways.  Go into halftime up 21-0 on a Kentucky team playing without their stud QB and a few others.  Spend the majority of the second half being pathetic Iowa offense and playing Ferentz ball, aka punting inside the 50.  Then, as UK basically gives up, plays out the string in the 4th and puts in their 3rd string QB, Iowa gets the ball back without about a min left at midfield.  They decide now is appropriate to give their QB some action and play hurry up and start taking end zone shots and quick passes.  Just a total douche move.

Iowa was something like 0-13 on third and fourth down conversions...and won the game 21-0.  (They had one offensive touchdown and two, pick sixes.)

My tv stream must have been delayed about 3-5 seconds from that. I saw my phone hit 12:00 and then kissed my wife just before they snapped the ball.

Ohio State missed the FG at the end of the game because the holder didn't have the laces out. Ruggles, the kicker, was consoling the holder after the game.

Ruggles had never made a 50-yarder in his career. Agree that Day should have gotten him closer.

Hopefully someone keeps an eye on Brutus and Stroud. This caused major issues for the Dolphins awhile ago.

The attempt was from 50. He had only attempted one other 50 plus yard field in his two seasons with Ohio State. (53 yards vs Penn State)

He was however 11 for 11 between 40-49 yards in his two seasons at Ohio State. He had already made a 48 yarder in the same game. And, he was kicking indoors on turf.

Sure, you'd always like to be a little closer, but the kick was missed so badly because the laces were out.

If you say so.

[shoothoops]

If you say so.

The facts say so.

[The Sultan]

The facts say so.

Uh no. Just because the laces were wrong doesn't mean that's the only reason the kick was so poor. Really the answer is unknown.

Lol.

Lol.

I mean kickers have made FGs before when the laces have been wrong...

I bet Yadier Molina makes that kick

I know another new New Year triggers all of your Brewers angst. It'll be okay Pobrecito.

Since St. Louis can't support a football team, I'm surprised you care to comment on it

This is the college football thread.

Neither St. Louis nor Milwaukee have a D-1 college football team, or a pro football team. (Well St. Louis does have a new D-1 football team, and an XFL team)

There's also a big World out there outside of Milwaukee or St. Louis, including other schools and cities where people and teams attend and watch games.

I'm sure the same few tribe before topic posters will join you.

First you mentioned baseball, then you mentioned St. Louis. Seems a little desperate trolling even by your standards. But gluttons for punishment will be gluttons for punishment.

Enjoy college football in the college football thread.

I'm impressed at your ability to not be attached to any tribe. 

Also, Ruggles missed the kick because he shanked it

Low hook, not a shank.

[withoutbias]

What are we even talking about?  The Ohio State kicker missed the field goal because the laces were out?  I've never been a kicker in football, but I'm pretty certain that's what you want.  The laces should be facing the goalposts that the ball is being kicked to, not facing the kicker.  That's how the holder was holding the ball (clear as day in the first replay they show here).
