The defense is not allowed to do anything that would simulate the snap. The defensive players can't yell “hut” or “hike,” and they can't clap since more offenses are using that for teammates to hear above crowd noise.


LSU and Missouri were both penalized in 2023 for clapping on defense.

Derek..

The Peach Bowl after the 1983 season is a part of our family mythology....

We sat in that freezing stadium ( 18 degrees ) and when we beat UNC, we went out with friends to celebrate. A bottle of champagne per couple...Nine months later, our Peach Bowl Boy was born.

Doing well, thanks... After being close to death in June 2023, I am now in remission...Rads and chemo kicked my butt...lost 61 pounds. Been hitting the weights and am now at 205...feeling good, looking good...old but folks say I am looking good. Still on soft foods...looking forward to another seaso...

Do you remember Herschel in the Olympics ?

On a bob sled...his speed and power were sought for the running start.

Liked to converse with my old board friend...

I check in from time to time...but the feel seems different now.

Where have all the posters gone. long time passing..

FSU's #2 QB may have pracriced yesterday (11-30)...the practice was closed so no info out...

Washington will lose to Oregon...(Vegas giving 10 points to Washington. The line for FSU has fallen to -1.5 against Louisville...with the Nole's primary QB out for the season,... and back up held out of practices for concussion protocol based on hit late in the last game. FSU could well lose this ga...

I have been on the WVU football board for over 20 years...have followed the Eers through the years. Way back in 1982, FSU played WVU in the Gator Bowl. My wife and I sat next nto a young couple from West Virgina and we chatted during that miserable game (it rained, a 40 degree wind was blowing off o...

Tidbit...

So far in 2023, a team favored by 7 points has won 88% of the time. Teams favored by 10 points won 92.5% of the time.

I agree...it is insanity to think that with 133 teams spread on a Bell Curve of strength that the bottom half of that curve competes with the top quartile... Akron and Alabama both purport to play for the same prize...as do Marshall and Michigan.. For gawd's sake, Ohio State is 18-0 vs the MAC since...

Sooo...basketball is different than football...wow Losses in basketball regular season mean little in comparison....basketball has 32 games before the tourney compared with football's 12 (unless you play in the conference championship, then 13) Other than whine that a team like undefeated Liberty (r...

The NCAA Tourney has been won by one of the top three seeds 89% of the time (over past 38 years)...

...the seeds 9-16 are just there for padding and the draw of the Cinderella story that we all love.

They have no destiny in basketball....you just buy into the illusion. Data is data...and the data says that they have zero chance....we just like the Horatio Alger story...it could happen, someday, maybe, if I lit a candle to St. Jude... They control zippo...or we would have a seed 9-16 with a stati...

Jimbo just chuckles on his way to the bank...$76 million... with $19 million of that due immediately and $7.6 million a year for eight years...coaching money with no work, no pressure..and the payments last until he is 66..retirement. He probably said what Orgeron said at LSU..."When do you wan...

Liberty is 10-0 with a schedule strength of 133...think that they should play over a one loss team like Louisville with an SOS of 66 ? Or one loss Texas with an SOS of 8.

Or a pne loss Ohio State or Michigan ?
