Close, especially after that first tumultuous season. I'll have to steer clear of the heavily medicated. Man, it's hard to believe he's a senior.
SHOWING MY AGE............... The clown on the HOWDY DOODY show, many years ago.....OR a STINKY poster that came into this forum telling everyone that MSU would KILL LSU......turned out he was from Clara, Ms.........and never came back..
At first, I thought you were about to say that they now wanted more black refs since 85/90 percent players are black.
Yep, Specifically, Bob Keeshan of Captain Kangaroo fame, not sure about the other dude. Thanks ColReb for playing. This cultural moment brought to you by your SEC brethren.
and reasonably, that is a residual of excellent coaching. Good technique is important if you're going for championships. Did you see the phantom call on our D-back late in the contest when Mallet threw an uncatchable ball, wide of his receiver and the ref looking dead at it? You just hope you're good enough to overcome the fact that Arky was getting a heaping helping of home cooking.
I don't buy into most of the bias crap. But you can't be serious...at least, not with holding - a penalty that could reasonably be called on every single play it's so subjective. 10 straight games? No holding? Occam's Razor.
I buy into the human factor. Home crowds matter and good coaching matters. Beyond that is the fact that we were almost exclusively, in most of those contest, a running team. Keep your hands inside, don't be obvious and you can run off a few games without a lot of penalties. The team was clicking and had great technique.
