The Sampson play? That was a PI. We got away with one there.

Yup. I can't believe they didn't get that call.

[Surfah]

I didn't think the Sampson play was PI.

You didn't even see it.

You didn't even see it.

If Sampson was PI then the deep ball to Hoffman was PI.

OK, here are some videos I uploaded to youtube. I didnt bother editing anything so they are very basic, just to give you an idea what things looked like. Most of the clips are about 30 seconds long, with a couple of exceptions. Again, apologies for the quality. I suck as a cameraman and many other endeavors

Bringing out the teams....I always enjoy seeing what other schools do when they run on the field. Note that this year BYU runs out on the field with 3 flags....2 Y flags and now the Sailor Hat flag

Right. That wasn't PI either IMO. The refs were pretty consistent I thought and called a pretty good game.

The Grove looks fun. I hope you guys aren't disappointed with the Longhorn scene. I think there may be a precipitous drop off in game-day tradition. OTOH, if there's one thing Austin's known for, it's that the natives will find any excuse to have fun. And heck if a UT game isn't the best excuse of all.

That's some body mass differential....

[oxcoug]

so freaking pretty

[oxcoug]

Pretty long road to this kind of moment for both these guys.

[oxcoug]

K Popp and KVN.

[Shaka]

That's an amazing pic.

Pretty long road to this kind of moment for both these guys.

For those at the game that stuck around inside the stadium afterward.....several players came back out on the field followed by a TV cameraman. This was well after the game was over but fans still milling about. The players formed a circle near the end zone and, with camera rolling, the began to do up-downs for a little while. They were dressed in their football pants and various t shirts, as though they had started to change in the locker room but were brought back out to make this film. Does anyone know what that was all about? When they lined up in the circle I thought they were going to do the Haka, was relieved that they didn't, and then was puzzled by whatever it was they wound up doing.

Damn that kid's got some great looking throwing mechanics. Question for the football types that know something about quarterbacking (read: not Shaka). To me height is a factor for a QB for two reasons: ability to see the field over the line, and ability to cleanly get the ball over the line when you throw. So my question is, can you play tall/small for your height?

Obviously this is an idea that exists within baseball where a pitcher can play taller and smaller than their actual height by the way they leverage their arm coming off the mound. It's also an idea that exists in basketball where guys who are long, quick off their feet and physical (like a Ben Wallace) can "play taller" than a guy like, say, Kosta Koufos, who plays more like he's 6'6" than 7' since he doesn't use his size well.

So can this hold true for QB's as well? Obviously it doesn't factor into the field vision thing, but I feel like Jake has fewer balls batted down at the line than Hall or Beck (who were both similar in height) because he has such a high release point. I also think about Matt Berry who was like 6'5" but kind of had a short-armed arm motion and a low release point. How much practical difference is there between where Berry released the ball and where Heaps does despite the 4" difference in height?
