Oregon scored a TD. The extra point was blocked and picked up by a K-State player at about the 2. Under CFB rules, the extra point is still live and K-State, in theory can return the blocked kick for a point of their own. Instead, the player who recovered the kick retreated into his end zone and got trapped. He then lateraled the ball to a teammate who was tackled in the end zone.

Since it was a 1 point play, the official ruling is a 1 point safety.

I heard on ESPN this morning that its only the 4th time there has been a 1 point safety since implementation of the rule.

There is a college sport thread for this stuff.  I hate college football.  I used to like college basketball but it bores me to now.  Basketball in general is boring unless you are actually playing it.

Wow. AP dropping the Administrator's hammer. Are we on double secret probation for posting in the wrong thread?

I could move it if I really care but still, you fucks need to get in line.

I was halfway through your post thinking that the solution to sucking at basketball always seems to be running.  You got there by the time you end the post tho.  Why is it that running suicides is supposed to make you a better rebounder?  It seems to be true of anything.  I wasnt following through on my free throws in high school and had to run suicides for the rest of pratice.  So it must make you a better free throw shooter as well. 

maybe it is true in other sports as well.  Do you think if Molina strikes out in spring training they make him run out and touch the centerfield wall because if he does that he surely wont strikeout again?

So AP takes us to task for posting about college FOOTBALL in a thread titled FOOTBALL, but suddenly it's OK to talk about running suicides and eating shit.

Both of you 10 suicides each for breaking message board rules.

Suicides don't make you a better rebounder. Boxing out your man does. But my kids don't want to do that because it requires effort.
Wait. That's an unfair generalization of the entire team. I have 13 kids. Four of them would eat manure if I asked them to. I could probably talk another four into eating the manure. I have another three who I could probably shove the manure down their throat. I have another kid who wouldn't believe the manure is actually manure, take a wary sniff to determine if it is manure and if it smelled like manure would try to engage me in a debate about the merits of eating manure as a motivational tool. And then I have a kid who is so unathletic he'd drop the manure, step in in accidentally and fall flat on his face.

I quit playing basketball in highschool because I didnt attend summer "open gyms" / mandatory practices.  So when I did show up I was slow and out of shape.  When the coach got onto me about it I was like, yeah I spent my sumer drinking beer and working a summer job.  I kind of gave up prematurely.  I kind of regret it.  I blame running.  The basketball team sucked and they could barely get enough seniors to take the court.

I could defend and rebound, but I was (and still am) offensively-challenged. So my role was to go in for the last 30 seconds of the first half so someone who could score wouldn't pick up a silly foul. I could have showed up a half-hour after the game started and left at halftime.

I heard we can talk college football in here? Sorry for making the duplicate thread in the college sports thread, I had no idea it would be here!

So who's winning the national championship game? Notre Dame or Alabama?

So you were one of those guys who was shaving in the seventh grade? Every school has one. Ours was a kid named Timmy Smith. He was 6-2 in the eighth grade and averaged 25 ppg. He was still 6-2 in the 11th grade and was end of the bench material, and then he didn't even bother to come out for hoops his senior year.

I quit basketball when it became apparent I had no gift for dribbling, shooting, jumping, defending, or rebounding. I couldn't even strip off the warmup pants without hurting myself. I have no idea what it was about the sport, but it did not work for me. I could play soccer, football, golf, tennis, bowling, volleyball, rugby.... Make me shoot a basketball and I couldn't hit a layup for 75 million dollars in a real game...

As AP alluded to, hoops requires a certain body type and skill set other sports don't require and those skills need to be honed constantly and religiously. I've seen some pretty good athletes who had decent careers in other sports look very silly on a basketball court.
On the plus side, in one respect you didn't miss much. Basketball tends to attract some pretty scummy people, from the middle school level all the way up to Rick Pitino.
I probably should have told Fors about this before he signed up his son for hoops.

I didn't play basketball in high school. I played pickup games with most of the guys on the team, but our high school coach wanted a track team. I was way too slow, way too white and hated running. That was 3 strikes.

Our teams were always good up until Sectionals. Then we always ran into an inner-city school that was equally fast, but taller.

We had a good team my sophomore year, but we lost in the first round of the state tournament. We weren't going far anyway. That was the year Cambridge had a point guard named Karl Hobbs who was the first real big-time recruit at UConn, and a big, tall center named Ewing or something like that. He went on to have a middling career at Georgetown and he may have even played pro ball somewhere.

"And this is a good example why things should be ran by me. "

You of the flawlest grammar.
