The worst contact was before the ball was thrown. That's still kosher in college, right?

Definitely was enough after the ball was in the air to call DPI, but that's more 50-50.

I know I saw another guy do that a few years ago, but yeah, incredibly stupid. Like Plaxico spiking the ball at the 20 with the giants without being down by contact.
DeSean Jackson did the exact same thing against the Cowboys in 2008. It's pretty astonishing how stupid these players can be.

I don't understand the point of dropping the ball right around the goal line. What's the end game there? Get into the end zone and then do whatever you want. Why risk it?

Did anyone see Pharaoh Brown's knee injury in Oregon's win? They mercifully didn't replay it, although I watched the 4th on replay this morning and saw it. Reminded me of Napoleon McCallum's blowout. Didn't even touch anyone.

He did it once in college and once in the pros.
 
On that play the Oregon defender was out of bounds then came back and was the first to touch the ball. I thought that meant dead ball/illegal touching? Anyone know the rule for college?

The Utah receiver and DeSean both went to the same high school.

I think the most important thing for this ASU game is to know how drunk Hambone is currently.

Andddd Auburn is back. 14-14 with TAMU 2 min left in the first.
 
Really Hambone's bday? Godspeed to him.
 
edit: he may not make halftime. Golson is killing ND (or the great Dline play of ASU)
 
 
Dear lord it would've been a good idea to actually eat something yesterday. Meeting UGA fans for bottomless mimosas prior to kickoff was a poor decision. 
 
My head hurts, but I couldn't be happier
