This is like a Where’s Waldo. Every time I look at it, there’s something new. For instance, this lady, who’s just there for a good time. She’s a Gump, but she’s alright in my book.

She’s only there because her jerk boyfriend drags her to games. She hates the Bammer because of him and this is displaced anger manifesting as spite-induced joy.

He's a grasping homer. I watched those two yesterday on their own channel, and all he does is ignore what everyone has seen. His logic is basically, "I don't believe UT is as good as they look, and I don't believe NCSU is as bad as we've seen." Later, he repeatedly claims that UT's secondary is terrible. "Can't cover grass." This is a new secondary that dominated in their only game so far this year. I realize it's UTC, but that's the point. Dude hasn't seen them struggle, yet he diagnoses them anyway. While he's seen his team struggle mightily, but that doesn't matter.

He can't be that dumb. All I can figure is he's performing for their audience, the rest of the NCSU homers.

Hard to believe there’s such a thing as NCST homers. “NC State sh**” has been a thing for way longer than BVS lol.

You don’t think that it was all of the QBs before? JG, Worley etc.?

I do think the video was more a commentary on our crappy past QB play. The video though was posted in April 27th 2021 and I looked it up and it looked like it was reported Milton was going to Tennessee earlier that month. So given it was the middle of the offseason I was assuming that was what triggered it. Milton wasn't exactly lighting it up at Michigan.

I listened to that earlier this morning. I could tell right away the NCST guys have zero clue what they are talking about when they started talking about how bad our secondary is. A completely new secondary with new players across the board and you’re gonna say they’re bad after one game? Shows how much research they did before talking out of their ass. And for him to then talk about how their O-line could neutralize JPJ? These people are living in a fantasy world.

Even last year's secondary was better than WCU, so it's kind of a moot point.

September 5, 1906
The first forward pass.
Gridiron football begin in North America in the 19th Century. At the time, the sport was played very similar to the much older sport rugby football (said to have been started in the 1800s in England, which technically could point back to various ancient ball games). At the time, there was only the run and the kick, hence the word “foot” in football.

This version of the game was pretty violent, as the only way to move the ball was to run straight into each other. Just how violent was it? Well, in 1905, 18 players died playing football. This lead to many wanting football banned or at least reformed to something safer. This is where President Teddy Roosevelt stepped in to reform football. Teddy saving the beloved sport is a whole other story for another day. But, what came of this reform to save football and the strategic discussions by many in the football community at the time, was the legalization of the Forward Pass in the spring of 1906. Which spread the players out on the field and ultimately made less people die.

On September 5, 1906, a Bellevue Ohio born college football player by the name of Bradbury Robinson threw the first legal forward pass in a game between St. Louis University and Carroll College. Note, this pass was not a Big Ben to Antonio Brown type pass. In fact, it fell incomplete, and based on the rules at the time, resulted in a turnover. Luckily, Bradbury would later redeem himself and throw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jack Schneider, making Jack the first player to make a legal reception of a forward pass. The St. Louis University Billikens would go on to shut out The Carroll College Fighting Saints 22 to 0.
