@dwightjaynes The guys out there at the end of the game would’ve preferred Oregon to take knees than have some chance at creating a turnover or getting a sack etc?
You say this like PSU was given no choice but to keep starters in the whole game.
@pdxbrocialite LaMarcus was never going to be the difference for a title contender. Incredibly smooth? Yes. Incredibly talented? Absolutely.
KG’s inefficiency without near as much talent.
@AaronJFentress@Jonathanstewar1@dwightjaynes It was equally as “necessary” as every TD scored after the first one. That they should stop running plays with 3rd and 4th stringers with 90 seconds left vs 30 seconds left is arbitrary.
Gave some guys who may never see the field at Autzen again some real game reps.
@DUiagalelei If you’re one of the PSU guys out there (guessing also way low on the depth chart) wouldn’t you want more chances to maybe come up with a sack or a turnover or just something impressive on film?
@conor64@BillieHolidayW What it says about his beliefs is that he’s openly dishonest and a gutter racist.
Within the civilized world that’s more than sufficient to dismiss him as anyone worth taking serious.
@BigPearn26@kerryeggers They were running the standard offense while the play clock was still on. You guys are acting like they ran up to spike the ball with a few seconds left.
Imagine you are 25 years old, batting for Australia in Madras. It is 40°C. The humidity is 80%.
By the time you reach a hundred, you are vomiting on the pitch. You lose control of your bladder. Your memory of the day starts to go blank.
You walk up to your captain and tell him you have to retire hurt.
Allan Border does not call for a doctor. He calls you a weak Victorian and says he'll send out a real Australian instead. A Queenslander. Greg Ritchie.
So you stay. You bat on out of pure rage, and you make 210. Then they help you to the shower, and from the shower to hospital, where you end up on a saline drip, around 8 kilos lighter than when the Test began.
And the match you nearly broke yourself for? Five days later, it ends in a tie. Only the second tied Test in history.
That was Dean Jones, 40 years ago today. One of the bravest innings Test cricket has ever seen, and the game still refused to give him a winner.
All the people who bring up Japan when arguing dumb shit about Indian-Americans not being American should have a look at Japan’s national basketball team.
