Shep= Block-Steal-Assist WOW

I understand the argument about Shep not having superior athletic skills but he is still doing things I haven't seen done often. In one position he blocked a shot, then stole the ball after the offensive rebound, ran the ball up the court hitting Reeves with a perfect pass which he converted into a 3. May not be the same as a highlight reel dunk but I still think it was a wow moment.

Am I crazy or…..

Did Clemson get an extra timeout in the second half. They had used one earlier in the 4th. Then they got the grounding penalty with 50 seconds left. They announced on the field that Clemson elected to take a timeout to avoid a 10 second runoff. Clock remains at 50 seconds but the graphic still shows 2 timeouts left. I assumed that was a mistake on the graphic. Then they called a timeout to stop the clock inside the 10. The graphic still left them with a timeout left. They should have had no timeouts and maybe they didn’t. But dabo ran the ball. That would have been a risky play with no timeouts.

Am I the only one who noticed this?

Barnhart Lobbied Hard for Gator Bowl

He has a friend on their committee.

This is a good story with insight to the selection process.


We’ve all heard that Kentucky has a strong pull for bowl selections.

It’s good to see someone else confirm it:

“The Kentucky brand has improved tremendously under coach (Mark) Stoops. Clemson is a brand that does great for TV,” Showalter said. “Kentucky does such a great job with fans and how they travel. It’s tough to get Kentucky because other bowls will lobby for Kentucky.”

Disappointed for our players and fans

but I am JACKED UP for NEXT SEASON ALREADY!! CANT WAIT for spring football and hope they have open practices during the week this spring! We've got some great pieces of this puzzle filled and could do some real damage in the SEC next fall!

Let's GO WILDCATS! LET'S KICK SOME ASSKS FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS AND THEN SOME!!

GoFundme

This may ruffle a few feathers, but I'd like other's opinions. I constantly get requests for GoFundme accounts for people that are trying to send their kids over seas to study, or for their kid's honeymoon, or for travel sports. My personal thought is that I paid for my kids, you can pay for yours. We did fundraisers, but never just asked for donations. Make your kids go raise the money if you don't have it. I'm sure I sound like a curmudgeon, but I see too many people complaining about pan handlers on the street, but then pan handle online themselves.

Bowl Game Question

First of all I want to apologize if this has been discussed. I was working at our local high school holiday hoop fest running the clock/scoreboard so I wasn't really able to watch the game. I did see bits and pieces during timeouts and such. When I got home as I was watching the replay I noticed on the game winning score by Clemson, it clearly looks like the lead blocker, #9 pulls the ball carrier into the end zone.

I know pushing a ball carrier from behind is now legal, but I looked up the NCAA football rules and it clearly says that NCAA Rule 9-3-2 says No teammate of the ball carrier "shall grasp, pull, or lift him to assist him in forward progress". Was this discussed either during the game or afterwards ?

Again I apologize, I just got home and didn't see anything in a thread title and I didn't want to try to sift through 51 pages of the game thread to see if it was talked about.

Question about transfer scholarships

This may be a JRow question, but some of you guys may know the answer.

I know one of the things talked about regarding portal players is that you’re on the hook for the entirety of the 4 year scholarship for any transfers you take, so you need to be wary of taking a bunch of fliers on guys that might not pan out because you’re stuck with them.

My question is, what does this mean? With redshirts, grad transfers, Covid years, etc, eligibility is super confusing these days. So what’s our obligation to transfers? 4 years from their HS graduation date? For the duration of their entire eligibility? Only through the completion of their undergraduate degree?

Take a Jordan Robinson for example. We took him out of D-2 Livingston last year. To me it’s pretty obvious he’s not an SEC player, but how long are we committed to his scholarship? If he graduates, are we obligated to keep him on scholarship as a grad student? If he takes a Covid year does he stay on scholarship?
