Hear me out: fire hydrants that are connected to the ocean

What do you need to upgrade to handle the corrosive effects of seawater?

Indy Coug

It's more about the pumps, compressors and elevation change.

Wow. That would be some tunnel. Like the one from Bear Lake to Loch Ness

I've actually heard of that theory

Nope, maybe an endangered fish would swim in thru the hose

My sons birthday is next week. January is the worst for birthdays. Even worse

Magneto

Hopefully he has a more cheery outlook because of your effort.

Q-grr

I had a friend growing up who's birthday was Dec 25. They packed up Christmas at Noon and then had his birthday.

You do realize it's entirely your fault, right?

Sid Vicious

10:04am

you'd be a good ER doctor

Belboz

10:07am

Thanks to this post, I am mad again about that non-call on targeting Texas committed against ASU

2FarGone No One of Consequence

9:57am

Wasn't there an ASU targeting against Texas earlier in the game? Not called.

COACHdrn

9:59am

BYU Fans need to cheer for the team that is coached by a former BYU QB

Skeptical Optimist

9:59am

Just think under new eligibility rules we could have had Sark for the 1997 and 1998 seasons as well

2FarGone

10:08am

Justice would be to not watch any more games.

VenomFarmer

I think home automation will become extremely popular once AI gets involved

KingDave The Movie Guy

I think tOSU is primed for a huge let down.

They will beat Texas by 10 or more. The natty will be OSU-ND

UNLVcougar

9:57am

Demin needs better scoring options to complement his game

nova_coug_fan

9:46am

This is why Hall shouldn't be in lineups with him

Blueto

9:48am

Hall shooting 38% from the field and 34% from 3 isn't complementing Egor? Huh

ldssdl

9:50am

Hall needs the ball in his hands touch get those numbers. He's not a spot up

Blueto

9:54am

I agree Hall would be better off as the backup PG, but with shooting #s that bad

ldssdl

9:59am

Demin is 15/56 (27%) from the Ole Miss game and on. That's six games and the ones against any real opponent.

CSoul

10:05am

FTR, 38% from the field is a truly horrible number.

scootsy

9:55am

Last night he started getting position on the block. He's not done that previously but I like it as it gives him new

GfB

9:49am

We have to surround him with shooting. Mag, Hall, Fous or Keita can’t. We can’t

4mack

9:52am

Mag is actually shooting pretty well. 54.1% FG 37.5% 3PT 90.0% FT.

ldssdl

10:03am

You don't think the players we have would run around like Ty Haws if coaches

Lifer

Kind of ironic if a good passer that shoots poorly gets frustrated with

ChiCityCoug

BYUheaven

He is a stud

Stucoug83

9:58am

I like Joe Klatt's take on targeting.

VenomFarmer

9:43am

No to fines, no to penalty boxes. 15 yards is sufficient

Indy Coug

9:44am

Agreed. Even in instances of actual targeting it rarely seems malicious

reddead

9:48am

The refs can't even get the call right half the time, so even less reason to eject the player

Indy Coug

9:49am

if you can't get the call right, maybe they should get rid of it altogether

2FarGone

9:51am

The targeting penalty has caused malicious hits to the head to dissappear.

VenomFarmer

9:54am

Fair, but it seems like penalties for roughing the passer and blindside blocks

reddead

9:59am

And your reasoning?

VenomFarmer

9:50am

My reasoning is that the foul doesn't merit that kind of reaction

Indy Coug

9:52am

I think it's a bit more than virtue signaling - the NCAA needs to show it's serious about

Skeptical Optimist

9:55am

RE: My reasoning is that the foul doesn't merit that kind of reaction

VenomFarmer

9:59am

I think 15 yards is sufficient in most cases, but the refs should have discretion to eject a player

Skeptical Optimist

9:53am

It's a personal foul and just like every personal foul, the first offense should be a 15 yard penalty...

Coug

9:54am

The ejection is for multiple unsportsmanlike personal fouls, not late hits or illegal hits

Indy Coug

9:56am

Intentionally using your head in an tackle should be viewed as unsportsmanlike

Coug

10:04am

Do you give refs special headgear to divine intent?

Indy Coug

10:05am

I love the penalty box idea.

2FarGone

9:48am

Seemed impossible for ASU to commit holding after Texas jumped on them early

reddead

9:57am

You can't fix targeting until you fix football's fundamentals.

MarylandFan

9:55am

Pet Peeve: Automation is not AI

mudpupper

9:41am

Since when is marketing that vigilant about the truth?

Indy Coug

9:46am

And a UAS is not a drone. It's a lost cause probably...

MarylandFan

McKay Madsen is announcing this Sat. Anyone know if BYU has a good chance?

Trey Stewart should get all of Dawson Baker’s minutes and a decent chunk of Dallin Hall’s.

scootsy Truly Addicted User

9:34am

You must not be watching the same game as the rest of us. Trey is a liability

kansascougar

9:37am

He can’t be any worse than Baker & Hall, who over the last two games are shooting a combined 36% with 2 assist and 9 TOs

scootsy

9:42am

Only a braindead person would use such a small sample size.

kansascougar

9:53am

We’ve only played like four real games this year.

scootsy

9:58am

Of course he can, which is why they play over him.

YSMACK

10:03am

He's just mad at Baker and Hall. He knows Trey isn't the answer.

Tricky

9:43am

This is the only reasonable explanation for the OP.

Schultz is back

I think you underestimate how much of an offensive drop-off that is

Dark Forest Green

He will for sure. He's also at a top 3 easiest school to win at in the country.

RdF3

9:43am

Maybe, but only because the talent disparity will be too big in early games.

YbeatsU

Yep, they fought hard against Duquesne in his final game. I want that back.
