    "Despite her stirring halftime speech and 30 yard kick..." isnt laying it on her. Much less than what you said, but again, far right breitbert tweeted it so now here we are. Shocker

    This is quite a bit meaner and you mention her weak kick. Pretty mean stuff. Make up your mind

    I didn't even notice who tweeted it. Do they write about sports a lot, or only when commenting on social issues regarding women and minorities?

    I disagree. It is purely about her being lauded as breaking the "power 5 football" barrier when others performed better and were on Power 5 teams. I didn't say anything about what she has said or attempted to attribute Vanderbilt being Vanderbilt to her. It was Vanderbilt before.

    don't know or care or follow them. Funny tweet about her halftime speech and players sitting out, and if it was by anybody else, you would agree, as you've already made fun of the PR stunt and her "highschool level leg". Make up your mind

    That might be the worst decision making I've ever seen a coach have at the end of a game at any level ever.

    So many issues, I don’t even know where to begin.

    The 17-10 loss to Alabama in 1972 has a legacy of its own within 3rd Saturday in October lore. The one play (or sequence) from the game that hardly anyone remembers is Bill Battle electing to punt with :30 seconds remaining and zero timeouts. Alabama didn't even field the punt. Once the official blew it dead and signaled the change in possession, Alabama's offense came out just long enough to take a knee and go home.

    After the 3 kneels, would have been better off and safer to just go ahead and kneel again on 4th down.

    The onside kick return set up was just, I am not sure what.

    I don’t even know why they’re kneeling and taking 5 yard losses every down in the first place. Why not run the ball and see if you can pick up a first down, and then you can actually take the V formation and run out the clock.

    No sense whatsoever. And they had 3 timeouts at their disposal to recalibrate when they saw how stupid the alignment was.

    And Thompson had 11 men in on the punt block, didn’t even have a return man back. Punter could been prepped to check and lob an easy first down over to his gunner on the left side. No one over there within 20 yards of that guy.

    Or at least call a timeout and make sure the punter gets rid of it with a sense of urgency.
    The entire staff and team decided the game was over.

    Oh the kneeling to begin with makes no sense.

    Just went back. They started at the 20 yard line. They probably win if the QB just hands the ball to the DT on first down.

    I think icing the kicker is mostly useless but in that situation I’m using all the timeouts that I for some reason never used.

    watch the punter after it’s blocked. Is like kid chugged a bottle of NyQuil before taking the field.

    Go back and look at the fg D alignment. Kid had to kick a line drive to get it there. They had nobody trying to block from the angle and were playing for a fake.
    3 OL on left side, from a right hash kick, didnt have to block anybody
