It's on MSG in NY which means it's on some sort of network being distributed.

Did Oklahoma State steal Clemson's uniforms? That doesn't look like their normal color.

Florida/Mizz is on ESPN3, too.

Got it here on the local SEC Network affiliate (i.e. the package syndicated to local stations in various markets).

Vandys kicker is getting laid tonight

Matthean · 10-19-2013, 01:25 PM

Anytime I talk myself into how good MSU could be they remind me how wrong I am. 7-0 at half against Purdue with the lone TD being from their defense.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 01:32 PM

Tennessee giving SC hell in Knoxville (17-7 late 1st half)
Georgia just got a pick six to go back in front of Vandy 17-14

And WTF, Georgia Tech leads Syracuse 21-0 middle Q2.

C'mon Vandy, step it up !

Matthean · 10-19-2013, 01:45 PM

I don't know what to make of SC and Tenn as teams. Its like the rest of the SEC East is going, "No really, we want Missouri to go to the SEC title game."

ABG ... Anybody But Georgia

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 01:51 PM

Somebody told Vandy they were, well, Vandy.

DAMMIT

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 01:53 PM

Mizzou D just nearly decaffeinated the Florida QB. Thus ends Florida's longest drive of the day thus far: 22 yards.

MJ4H · 10-19-2013, 02:01 PM

What the hell on that Georgia player being ejected for targeting? Am I missing it, his head wasn't even touched? I mean, if it was, barely?

This Is The Worst Targeting Call Of The College Football Season

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 02:01 PM

28-0 GT over Syracuse at the half.

'Cuse just 105 yards total offense (9 of that on the final two plays of the half)
GT 197 yards total: 197 rushing, 0 passing (0/2)

cuervo72 · 10-19-2013, 02:03 PM

But hey, the ACC is better for them. Can't be denied!

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 02:03 PM

3 SEC games this afternoon, each with a targeting penalty ejection (all on visiting players btw)

Florida lost a defender on the first play of the game at Mizzou, the Georgia one has been discussed on my wall aplenty already, and SC lost one in the opening drive in Knoxville.

The phrase "point of emphasis" comes to mind, almost as though the officials might have been told to be sure to find one to call.

Easy call. Targeting doesn't mean helmet to helmet, it means using any part of your body . When the QB is falling backwards all you see is forearm coming off the helmet.

He is a pretty good description of targeting being discussed to outrage over a penalty even being called

cuervo72 · 10-19-2013, 02:05 PM

(Maybe folks like Marmel just meant that the rest of the ACC will have better records with Syracuse joining the conference. *shurg*)

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 02:13 PM

With this explanation of the targeting rule (from a Mike Perriera column)

• No player shall target and initiate contact vs. opponent with the crown of his helmet.

• No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent.

then the ejection in the Georgia game does appear to be correct by rule. It's the shoulder & forearm that get him, no helmet-to-helmet required.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 02:18 PM

Y'know, college football is a funny thing.

The same QB I spent hours screaming for a few weeks ago, is the one I screaming against today.

I doubt Connor Shaw really cares much either way, but I thought it was interesting to think about that.

Either you mean decapitated, or you're trying to say he got the coffee beans knocked out of him?

MJ4H · 10-19-2013, 02:26 PM

Yes, I understand what targeting is and isn't. I don't see any hitting of the head or neck in that video. Am I just not looking closely enough? Are you guys telling me his head/neck is being hit?

Also, why does the ref pull out the flag before it even happens?

To me, it literally looks like he just ran into him and pushed him.

Julio Riddols · 10-19-2013, 02:32 PM

I think he was referring to the Florida QB's penchant for pre-game java.

Julio Riddols · 10-19-2013, 02:33 PM

Also, yeah.. That ref pulling the flag before the hit even happened? Little weird.. Although the defensive player clearly took another step and made a forceful hit on the QB well after the ball was thrown.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 02:34 PM

"Decaffeinated" 'sted "decapitated" is borrowed from a joke by a popular regional comedian named Milton Crabapple.

I actually worked with him at a radio station years back, got permission to steal whatever I wanted as long as I gave him 50% of whatever it earned me

You don't see the left shoulder pad impacting the facemask/side of the head?

Look at the players arms coming up. In full speed, it's easy to see where the arms are, which are coming off the helmet. I agree that it probably shouldnt be a penalty, but that's the way the rule is written

As for the flag, that's probably just the SEC for ya

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 02:36 PM

Georgia Tech 42-0 with 10 mins left Q3. Drove & scored, 'Cuse turnover, GT scores again and COMPLETED A PASS !

If I'm Syracuse I'd seriously consider giving up football after this one.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 02:39 PM

Sigh. Tennessee has turned into Tennessee.

Yeah, I guess I just don't see that. I watched full speed and zoomed in and I don't see any hitting of the helmet. If there is any there, it is incidental grazing. Ridiculous call imo.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 02:53 PM

South Carolina in control now in Knoxville. Vols unable to stop Shaw in Q3, it's
21-17 poultry.

Vandy looks dead with the backup QB in due to injury. Georgia 27-14

Backup QB runs for 50 yd TD, Georgia Tech now 49-0 on Syracuse.

MrBug708 · 10-19-2013, 03:02 PM

This was probably James Franklin's shot at the USC job

ISiddiqui · 10-19-2013, 03:41 PM

So um, is Georgia losing to Vandy 31-27?

DID VANDY JUST GET A TURNOVER?

Holy crap, I think UGA s going to lose to Vandy.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 03:46 PM

Vols get the signature win, FG as time expires. 23-21 over SC.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-19-2013, 03:50 PM

Go fucking crazy all over Tennessee, thank you 'Dores !

mckerney · 10-19-2013, 03:51 PM

Just had this convo with my wife. My guess is that he had one specific look in mind that, if he got it, he'd have snapped the ball.

I get that for the first one. Even if that is the case, at least try to get the Vols to jump offisdes. The second time makes no sense at all to me.
