Recruiting Football Talk VII

[VolNRaleighNC]

Long story short..the university won’t make any public statements or appeals because they don’t like rocking the boat

Rock the boat…? They need to be playing Battleship and sink the damn thing. Heads should be rolling.

Of you try to return a fair catch you get it at the spot the ball is caught. Since the other returner tried to return it we got it where we caught it.

This makes sense when a fair catch means you get it where the ball is caught (I.e. on a punt). But the logic there is that you are bound by the fair catch, not that you “get it where it is caught.”

If there is a rule that states the rule you said, please share, but if it exists, it seems to me it would likely just be a holdover from before fair catches on kickoffs got spotted at the 25.

In any case, literally never seen this call… and I’ve watched a lot of football.

Some of y’all act like this offense is awful. We’re still averaging over 400 yards and 30 points. It’s not great and we were spoiled last year. It’s just inconsistent, which I think a lot of that falls on joes inconsistency

Iowa got called today on the same thing.

I hate that we weren’t able to put the cupcakes away earlier in the season to get Nico more snaps.

We had more yards, more first downs, better 3rd down completion rate, won the TO battle…. And lost by 2 scores WTFFFFFF

End of the 1st half, 3rd & 3 inside Bama 15. Joe clearly makes a 1st on a keeper. Called short & 20 seconds run off. Booth reviews and overturns it. 1st & goal with 42 seconds, very next play Small runs for 2-3 and runs outta bounds. Official calls his forward progress stopped in bounds & keeps clock running. We burn a TO.

That series was all I needed to see to know refs had the fix in.

That’s hard to do.

Unc return man just waved his arms low then returned the kick

 

[Smokey123]

That’s hard to do.

So frustrating. We had zero business losing this game. Left too many points on the field in the first half too

Agreed. That’s when I knew we would be fighting uphill in the second half.

We just forgot to fight.

It’s only called when Tennessee playing vs Alabama

 

[Smokey123]

VIRGINIA!!!

Iowa got called today on the same thing.

Did they get the ball at the 3 yard line for this?

 

[SpringBokVol]

Virginia wins

Unc player just did exactly that, no flag

 

[volbeast33]

Idk, looks like Heupel caught lightning in a bottle with Hendo......let's not forget he was 2nd on the depth chart behind joe until Joe's injury and Hendo played so good he couldn't pull him. Just saying, he did have the best qb on the bench once already.

bc joe was outplaying him in practice… you don’t play the guy doing worse in practice.

Should!..but won’t.we play nice with the SEC and NCAA and get F****d every time

 

[SugarCC]

Idk, that fair catch rule is up there.

Idk, the clapping on the defense being a delay of game; yet, a QB can clap as many times as he wants to ...

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wow. UNC lost to 1-5 Virginia AT HOME. I feel awful after our loss but imagine your playoffs hope being dashed by Virginia….

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Did they get the ball at the 3 yard line for this?

It got brought back to the spot he caught it.

 

[tnvols72]

Give me the Zapruder film showing Halzle doing all…whatever you said. If it’s not on your cloud, post proof from two seasons worth of GOLESH offensive coordinating. Thanks in advance.

You are the one who said Heup was calling plays and I asked if you had video of him saying this. That is all I am asking and you got all defensive. If Halzle is calling plays he sucked and if Heup was calling plays he sucked. So I will ask again do you have video of Heup saying he calls plays?
