@ScottCLandis @EricLuallen Nope.

@EricLuallen You’re wrong. Every field has unique ground rules but Major League Baseball has universal ground rules. One of them is that a ball that lands in fair territory and then bounces out of play awards two bases to every player. It is a ground rule double.

Reminder: A ball that hits in fair territory and bounces over a wall is a double in every ballpark in which baseball is played. It is not a “ground rule” as ground rules are rules that apply to unique features in a ballpark. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

@76pack @EricLuallen No, they are wrong.

You’re half-right. The automatic double is colloquially known as a “ground rule double”… seeing as doing so doesn’t infringe on the defining results of either, it is perfectly acceptable to interchange. People are not wrong for calling it a ground rule double, just as they’re not wrong for calling a home run a dinger.

@ArccosGolf So how does it know what club? That is the point of the sensors. Golfshot uses Apple Watch, guesses club based on distance. I am sure this is the same.

@ryanmouquegolf The most important part about hitting a cut is to make sure it cuts.

Jon Rahm has hit so many double crosses this week It’s the risk you take when you always aim left for a cut. If you hit it straight or close the face a little, bye bye

@BlakersAdam @xwanyex California’s 54 go to Alabama.

@xwanyex They should assign electoral votes per state like we do now, then draw states out of a hat to assign one state’s votes to anothers. This year, Alabama’s 9 votes goes to… Oregon! Alaska’s 3 votes goes to…. Kentucky! Arkansas’ 6 votes goes to…. Delaware! Would be funny imo

I love Electoral College discourse. It’s thrilling to be so right about something so obvious that everybody else is nevertheless completely childishly wrong about. I live for this.

@RumorsandRants @HVHY93 Pretty much every team from here on out (including last year) has the same story. NBD. All of the teams are more “mid” now. The top in the past was better, the 2nd tier is better now.

@HVHY93 They beat No. 5 Ohio State, No. 9 Alabama, No. 4 Oregon and No. 2 Miami in a row to win the title. They also beat Oregon at Autzen. There are zero questions about their resume.

Indiana went 16-0 with five wins over teams that made the playoff. None of those wins came at home. They are squarely in the conversation for the best team of all time. #iufb

@SothatsHarrison @mikerodak @Bama_247 There would have been against any of the teams listed.

@mikerodak @Bama_247 Based on HOW Bama lost to FSU, OU, UGA and Indiana I can’t really disagree. There was never really a comfort factor going into any of these games. Both sides of the line had issues and the coaching/play calling wasn’t to expectations.

The most popular choice was No. 8 for Alabama in the final coaches poll, but Navy's Brian Newberry was an outlier in picking the Tide at No. 21. Newberry ranked Tulane, JMU, North Texas, Navy and Old Dominion higher than Alabama. 247sports.com/college/alabam…

@osuzack 1 year/team does not a GOAT make.

We like Nick Saban, but him and coaches like him found their glory at programs with extreme advantages. Nobody, ever, not one time, in the modern era, had done THIS. Put him on the GOAT list.

@bandcoach71 @CFB_Pat @dougiesant Ohio states losses were to the only 2 good teams they played.

@CFB_Pat @dougiesant Ohio State's two losses were the 2 teams in the title game.

Alabama jumping 2 spots is embarrassing for this poll.

@TexasIsTexan @markallanbovair @SaveStandard So?

@markallanbovair @SaveStandard This is not just about kids and buses! There are parts of the country that wont see sunrise until NINE AM in the winter if we go on permanent DST!!

“Let’s move Noon to 1pm” is fake time. This is a horrible idea. Your preference for evening daylight forces kids to stand at bus stops two hours before sunrise. The proper solution is permanent standard time with a realignment of time zones.

@heavensbvnny You don’t do it all in one day.

can someone please explain to me how someone gets 8 hours of sleep, 10,000 steps a day, goes to work, maintains good hygiene, cleans their house, exercises, takes care of their animals, and has time for hobbies and socializing? cause i feel like this is also propaganda.

@JLGallagher3 Zero wins. WINS.

It was never about Miami…. Notre Dame fans don’t mind Miami jumping Notre Dame because they won the head-to-head. It was about 3 loss Alabama. Why is this so hard to understand?

@ShaunBroncoBeat And THAT team blew out the G5 team. A G5 team may belong, but not automatically and not this year.

Another CFP blowout. We can’t keep letting these mismatched G5 teams - oh, wait

@Leroy5000 @iJordanMoore @JMUSportsNews @PFTCommenter @JMUSoundOff @Michael_2Clutch What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

@mtgallanttx @iJordanMoore @JMUSportsNews @PFTCommenter @JMUSoundOff @Michael_2Clutch Strange because it was still 34 more than A&M scored against Oregon and 31 more than you all managed to pinch out against Indiana.

3 of the 5 players who scored for Indiana in the first half of the Peach Bowl (Kaelon Black + Elijah Sarratt + D’Angelo Ponds) are transfers from James Madison with Curt Cignetti. The same JMU that also put up 34 on Oregon. But I thought they “couldn’t compete” and that it “was a safety hazard” for them to be in the playoff.

@Justin_Albers Because he was not at the top until now and no one really wanted them. They most likely will start to get poached IF they can replicate.

I don't think it gets talked about enough -- Indiana's coaching continuity is remarkable. These guys have stayed together -- remained committed to Cignetti -- in an era where nobody great ever keeps all his coordinators for long. Offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan was making $8,000 a year working for Cignetti at Elon in 2017. He was living on food stamps. He never left Cig. Nor did the others. Not at JMU. Not at IU. Not after the most historic run in college football history. Shanahan will make $1.7M next year, and he's more than earned it. But that's not the point. This type of loyalty is rare in our world today. It's special. They literally started from the bottom, now they're here. And that loyalty -- that brotherhood -- translates to a team full of players who want to find that same loyalty and brotherhood with one another. These players truly love each other, but I think it starts with the uncommon continuity and resilience in the coaching staff. Can you imagine living on $8,000 a year? There are so incredible things about this Indiana story, but to see a man who believed enough that days like this would one day come to keep coaching full time is really cool. It should come as no surprise that there is no "I" when the Indiana players speak because they are coached by a staff that has clearly sacrificed "me" for "we" for nearly a decade. #iufb

@JohnBurrowsCFB Go back to BCS.

Crazy that Texas Tech didn’t score a single point against Oregon and Indiana scored 56. The difference in college football isn’t P4 vs G5. It’s not Big 10 and SEC vs everyone else either. It’s about 4 schools every year and then everyone else. This is one of the many reason why the argument that the G5 doesn’t deserve to compete in the playoffs is bad. Really only about 4 schools can win it all each year. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t let more schools than that compete because a lot of times you don’t know who those 4 schools are until a lot more football is played.

@dbailey_18 What has Oregon done to tell you they are a really good team?

This beat down feels different than the Alabama one. I wasn’t sold on Bama, but I know Oregon is a really good team! And you add on the fact this is the second time IU is playing Oregon. This is very impressive man.

@Hawk All this proves is UO blew out JMU and IU blew out UO. JMU did not belong. If they were ranked top 12, ok.

My theory is that Curt Cignetti... who made his name coaching D2, FCS, and of course JMU... is running the score up on Oregon as a way to stand up for JMU and combat the ridiculous "seperate tournament for G5" discourse. and for that, he is a HERO.

@KevinNegandhi If you were to re-rank them 6 years later when they are 23 vs 17, they would rank as 4-5 stars.

Indiana has just eight 4 ⭐️s. Oregon has 55 4 or 5 ⭐️s on their roster. Difference? Indiana has 45 players w 4+ yrs of experience.
