All I can say about tomorrow is Bring back the Tie. I won't be watching

Terps! Vols! Domers!

"Domers"? Is that a nickname for Notre Dame?

Great minds . . .

All I can say about tomorrow is Bring back the Tie. I won't be watching

Not even rooting for those pro-baby killing commies in Kansas over the Bammers?

"Golden Domers" actually.

The administration building at Notre Dame has a golden dome at the top with a statue of Mary on top of that. It is golden in color and may actually have gold in the paint. Not surprisingly this structure is called the golden dome. The Notre Dame football team for at least the last 50 or so years and maybe longer has worn helmets that are similarly painted gold. Since they wear gold helmets and play for the college that has a golden dome they have been nicknamed the Golden Domers or just Domers.

Are you sure it isn't actual gold? Gold has been used for roof coverings in the past.

Hey, I just posted the quote. But as it turns out, yes, it is real gold, reguilded as recently as 2005.

GO:

12:00 PM EST, Sugar Bowl, New Orleans, TV: ESPN
(9) Kansas State 10-3 > (5) Alabama 10-2 (-6)
KSU teased us by starting 10-0, then collapsed. Now we'll have a year of whining about how Bama should have been in the Playoffs.

12:00 PM EST, Music City (Mediocre) Bowl, Nashville, TV: ABC
Iowa 7-5 (-2.5) > Kentucky 7-5. Shove it, Rand and Moscow Mitch.
Nice! 21-0, with all of the scoring in the 2nd quarter. Weird.

4:00 PM EST, Fiesta Bowl, Glendale, Arizona, TV: ESPN
(holding my nose) (2) Michigan 13-0 (-7.5) > (3) TCU 12-1

Wow. 21- 6 TCU at the half. I ain't cryin'.

1. The University of Notre Dame's Main Building has a "Golden Dome" with 1,250 thin strips made out of 8 oz. of 23-karat gold ... TOTAL!

... The Golden Dome was recently (in 2005) regilded, a fancy word for having the gold reapplied. This regilding is extremely thin, spreading a small amount of gold over the entire surface. This means that the gold covering is only 3 microns thick at any one point.

23k Gold per Ounce 1,746.8 USD
http://goldpricez.com/us/23k/ounce

8 oz x 1,746.8 = $13,974.40. An extravagance, but it probably cost more to apply it.

Some interesting story lines, including about "our" teams:

College football bowl season winners and losers: The Music City Bowl hits a historic under in Iowa's 21-0 win

Idk why Auburn, Miami and Northwestern aren't mentioned.

Google gold roofs - some are modern, but most are from 1800s and earlier
India has some insane gold roofs, there are even 2 or 3 in South America and GB.

What a crappy sports day!
Move on to '23.

Yep. Iowa was the only saving grace IMO, and it sucked and got lucky.

Bloody hell! GA 18-3 in the 4th including a TD with 0:57 left, OH St misses a 50-yard field goal with 0:08 remaining, 42-41 GA. :angry-banghead:

GA vs TCU. :angry-banghead: :puke-left: :angry-banghead: :puke-left:

So glad I didn't watch. Fuck kirby, what an asshole.

I'm with you. I watched none of it and my life was made much better.

Were the officials sec? This replay looks more like a sec call, although the officials aren't recognizable to me.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/s ... concussion

It sure looks like helmet to helmet targeting that left the Ohio player with a concussion.
Also I wasn't aware that they could reverse a personal foul.

So, instead of 1st down at the 2, it's 4th down and long.
Ohio State would have had 4 more points and Georgia would have lost.



Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player

ARTICLE 4. No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting. When in question, it is a foul. ...

So, definitely Targeting

Shoulder to shoulder first? Definitely not the crown of the helmet. Idk, I'd want all angles and slo-mo. The "expert" analyst thinks it wasn't targeting.

If there's another simultaneous foul like roughing the passer or hit out of bounds, which it was close to, that personal foul is not reviewable and stands. However, since targeting has such a severe penalty it is reviewable and is thus reversible.

If Ohio State gets that TD at the end of the 3rd, the 4th likely would have been played different. It might have flipped the winner, or not.
