Two-point conversions in third OT

[jimmythegreek]

They're not kidding. Like penalty kicks in soccer or shootouts in hockey. Liked it a lot better the way it was.

 

[jimmythegreek]

5 kick saves and beauties so far.

 

[jimmythegreek]

6 lol

 

[railbird]

0 for 8

 

[railbird]

this is why you dont go for 2 down 8

 

[railbird]

0 for 8

0 for 9

 

[WildBill]

No matter what, Lions are getting dropped a lot of notches in the polls. This is pathetic.

 

[railbird]

0 for 10

 

[jimmythegreek]

My God look at this nonsense.

 

[WildBill]

I kind of like the idea though, if you can't separate yourselves by the end of 2 OTs then whats the difference if you just go to one play drives?

 

[railbird]

No matter what, Lions are getting dropped a lot of notches in the polls. This is pathetic.

the refs fixed the auburn game, its no secret. big 10 sucks.

 

[John Kelly]

Heading to the eighth overtime.

 

[jimmythegreek]

Golf is more exciting and integral than this.

 

[jimmythegreek]

At least it's a new way to sweat out under 45s or what have you.

 

[John Kelly]

Heading to the historic ninth OT.

Game tied at 18.

Total closed 45.5 at Circa.

 

[WildBill]

I think the difference between a 3 yard conversion in college and 2 yard in NFL makes a huge difference especially in making runs much more in play.

 

[WildBill]

Why do they change ends? That's a waste of time and effort.

 

[John Kelly]

Final score: Illinois 20 Penn State 18 (9OT).

 

[railbird]

overtime #9, illini free rolling. bilema playing with Lovie Smiths trash, still winning.

 

[John Kelly]

Agree.

 

[WildBill]

Thanks for ruining it for us ESPN3 subscribers JK, my video still showing them in time out lol

illinois doesnt want to play into the student section

 

[jimmythegreek]

That was nauseating. I hope the Nittanies drop 19 places.

 

[railbird]

adios paterno lovers

you mean franklin lovers.

 

[John Kelly]

The option to go first or second obviously is not as significant as when overtime first begins.

 

[WildBill]

Maybe bad sportsmanship but if I'm coaching a defense in this situation where I have to get a stop I'm telling them to hold and interfere all you can, force the refs to call a penalty that may not make a big difference anyways.

Whoops!

Now if only I could find a live wagering outlet that's watching ESPN3.

Opposing altrnate student and faculty section cheers and jeers?

That's smart gamesmanship, not bad sportsmanship.

 

[John Kelly]

And that's the reason for the rule.

Wind could be a factor, too.

 

[railbird]

when you make an affirmative action hire this is what you get. Bret Bilema plays the right way.

this is a retarded strategy re vomited from the lame steve fezzik.

 

[WildBill]

And that's the reason for the rule.

Wind could be a factor, too.

Both teams face same thing, no need for change. Might be smart move to discourage teams from always putting opposing fans in shitty seats near the end zone.

 

[railbird]

the game, 1st half and 2nd half still all went under

In the NFL, some teams accused Pete Carroll and the Legion of Boom defense for employing this strategy every play of the game during their rise to prominence.

Illinois kicked their ass. Ran for 365 yards while holding Penn St to 227 total yards. Only reason it was close was Penn St winning turnover battle 3-0. But if you are +3 in turnovers and still lose, you deserve to get your ass kicked,

May as well put the ball on the 50 and let them heave up hail mary's until one hits.

Friend of mine who is an Illini alum said you can see the difference now without Lovie around. The team with him was like scared children, just trying not to piss off the almighty coach. They made a lot of mistakes because they didn't have fun playing and just wanted to keep their jobs. With the new coaches they seem to be playing the game with a lot less worry and you could see just how much they wanted to win yesterday. So yeah, blame Lovie and blame the University for getting an idiot who brought in the I'm going to be tough like the NFL approach to a school that's just not going to get players on that track too often.
