I have not been that happily bored in a long time

TBH I'm not excited for the rest of the schedule. I watched this game on a free trial. Convince me why I should pay to watch the rest of season? I'm also saving up for a major purchase so I really am considering not subscribing to any TV service.
Wow, must have been windy all over the west the last 2 days. I never heard or even thought of schools being closed for wind. That happened today in Utah. Incredible. I once worked for a company with regional offices in North Dakota. On one visit, the wind was so bad it actually smashed the side windows in 3 vehicles in the parking lot.vancouvercougar wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 4:49 pm We had a major wind storm in Vancouver WA and our power went out during halftime. It looks the second half was more of the same as the first half.
I am sure a lack of scrimmaging affected Navy, but no amount of scrimmaging and live tackling would’ve stopped that debacle. Navy was owned on both sides of the line of scrimmage throughout the entire game. Even the second and third stringers controlled things.EM_Puma wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 5:18 pm I'm still trying to understand today how Navy believed it was okay to practice, but that tackling would endanger their players to such an extent that KN set the rules of practice to not include any such contact. It doesn't make sense. I'm sure, same as BYU, they were testing and now they played a game where they had to tackle. It's okay to risk that contact in a game, but not in practice. I guess I'm too logical, because that doesn't make sense to me, but gave him a huge out after getting blown off the field by BYU.
I agree. I just watched After Further Review on BYUtv and David Nixon pointed out that fact that it wasn't so much that Navy was not tackling effectively as it was that BYU was blowing the Midshipmen off the line and opening the way for the offense. That has nothing to do with lack of tackling in their fall camp.BoiseBYU wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 6:57 pmI am sure a lack of scrimmaging affected Navy, but no amount of scrimmaging and live tackling would’ve stopped that debacle.
