Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 17, 2019 I had a service truck once that had a utility body on it , it was so hard to put fuel in that truck , I had a block of wood cut where you could stick it in the handle and it would barely pump , you still had to stand by cause it would cough up diesel sometimes , it had a 52 gallon tank and took 1/2 to fill it up ------- I got feed up with it and I went to buy some filler hose that was compatible with diesel , which would fit the filler neck and the tank and couldn't find any , so I went to the Dodge dealer , I never forget this , told the parts guy what I wanted and he says " ya we got that hose , how much you want , it is sold in length " , " I say , " give me about 3 feet " , he says " it's $5.82 an inch " , I went home took measurements , went to the muffler shop and got some exhaust pipe bent and squeezed to O.D. and bought 1 ft of that special hose and made two 6 inch splices with double clamps , worked fine then a couple of years later , one of the rear tires separated and took out the fill tube and I had to do it again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retro 4,048 Posted December 18, 2019 Yeah, pretty impressive fellah that Burrows is, ehh? Coach O won the Heismann too, lets not forget.

retro 4,048 Posted December 18, 2019 Yup! Coach O is the 12th man on the field in every play. 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 18, 2019 When I think about it , Coach O most likely got a lot of good help , Burrow's Dad was a coach all his life and recently retired , I would bet there was some conversations there , LSU's offensive coordinator is from the New Orleans Saints , would bet Sean Peyton ( Saints coach ) had some influence , Bobby Herbert former QB of the Saints ( The Cajun Cannon ) is a sport commentator on the local radio station and is Coach O's cousin and was his room mate on the college football team they both played on , Drew Brees is Burrow's personal mentor , you can see Drew in Burrow's movements , you can see the Saints in LSU's game plan , they look more like a NFL team than a college team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 23, 2019 The stage is set , the count down to kick off has begun , and I got my kickoff time and day straight as I thought it was a Friday night game ----- " let's get ready to rumbleeeeee " -----my early prediction is 37-24 LSU ------ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 28, 2019 The point spread is 13 points LSU favorite , I didn't realize LSU's star running back is questionable for the game or it would have been a higher point spread , so they say ------ an interesting note , Joe Burrow has a bag of grass with him in his locker , not the kind you smoke , LOL , he has this ritual where he collect two blades of grass from ever field he plays a game on and stashes it in a bag , and he is not the first player to do this , hope Joe is going to zero-turn the entire field after this game and get him a big ol'bag of grass , !

I watched the entire game and it looked to me like they got them correct; the targeting call, the fumble that wasn't because the catch wasn't completed, were there others I'm forgeting?

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 29, 2019 Clemson completed a pass and fumbled it , OSU ran it in for a touchdown , the receiver took 4 steps with the ball secured , it was no doubt a catch and a fumble for touchdown , just that play alone was the different in the win or lost ---- numerous pass interferences calls against OSU that were not much , and blatant interference by Clemson that wasn't called ----- many holding calls and blocks in the back that were not accessed against Clemson , and just the opposite with OSU ----the commentators on every sports show I watched and listened to said the same thing ----- there were so many bad calls , even OSU's coach made reference to it without actually calling out the refs , cause he is not suppose to do ----- I seen the entire game twice and it was a recorded version ----- no doubt their was favoritism by the refs in that game for Clemson , maybe they bet on it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So catching the ball with instant control. Advancing the ball and making 3 full steps doesnt count as a completed catch? I mean in any other game ive ever watched it sure has. He did just short of 5 yards with secured possession? Ball never moved once. Never slipped. He locked it in instantly with his hands. What i noticed the most is how well the refs were at taking any sort of momentum osu could claw for and removing it with a bad call. I personally hope LSU makes clemson look silly. That will just confirm LSU vs OSU would have been a better game. But with the refs on your side its hard to lose a game. Not sure who the refs will be for the championship but if they are the same LSU better be prepared to play not only a team. But the refs aswell.

bcsman 1,382 Posted December 29, 2019 Always bad when the calls the refs have made can affect the outcome of a game. Certainly didn't hear anything about refs determining who won the LSU game! I have even seen the Super Bowl ending decided by the refs. Replay does seem to help but still alot of interpretation of the rules with slo mo and everything.

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 29, 2019 The targeting call to me really changed the game , might have deserved the 15 yard by today's standards for helmet to helmet , but I didn't feel it deserved player ejection for targeting , the QB lower his head into the on coming defender , who to me was trying to hit him in the chest , till the QB dropped his head to take the impact he seen was coming in his chest ----I think that if they are that concerned about a player taking a hit to the head while being tackled , then change to game to flag football 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
