Please tell me someone else saw that play with the Wisconsin RB busting through, getting popped by the safety, safety starts dancing- not realizing the RB just kept right on going past him, and then a Wisconsin lineman comes down and flattens the safety while he is celebrating?..

Priceless!
I saw it multiple times with the replays
that is one of the problems with the defense
tackling too high
stiff arms by backs allow them to score instead of going to the ground
but, it seems defenses all across college football and the NFL tackle too high

Yeah, not a good call at all, but I get it.
helmet to helmet, everyone knows the deal, but players keep tackling high
bend your back and hit the offensive player in the rib cage or hip, no problem
stay below the shoulder pads and offensive players go to the ground quicker

In'n'Out is "OK".  I rarely do fast food, but I tried it when out that way for lunch.  Wendy's to me is about as good.

Five Guys is OK.  We have a local chain called Killer Burgers which is pretty good, but they sell $8 burgers and up.

Burgers are so quick and easy to fix at home I rarely eat them out unless traveling, and then I'd rather do a samwich.

I don't get In n' Out. It's really not that great, and definitely not worth waiting so damn long for.



I'll take a Culver's burger any time over that stuff, if I'm eating "fast" food.
In n Out is strangely overrated by California transplants, mostly.  I guess it reminds them of home or something?  Nostalgia clearly plays a part.  I'd put several fast food burger chains above them, including Culver's, and the Texas-based Whataburger.
Oh, and the fried food was delicious, thanks.  My dad did some deep fried mushrooms, too, so we got the health food covered.  My stomach this morning, on the other hand, could be doing a little better.  These days I eat a lot more salad, than I do fried foods, so it's gonna take some time for my digestion to catch up.  That's just the price I pay for a Longhorn victory over the hated Sooners. ;)

I don't know which hit you're talking about, but my problem with targeting and helmet-to-helmet in general, occurs when the ballcarrier's body is moving.  I've seen perfect form tackles from defenders turn into helmet-to-helmet, when the ballcarrier dips or bends his body at the last minute.  In those instances, the helmet-to-helmet contact is inevitable and completely unintentional, yet time and time again we see the refs call it targeting.  It absolutely is NOT targeting and I hate that it's being called that way.
The other one I see is, again, a perfect form tackle from the defender, but then physics dictates that the defender's body slides up the ballcarrier as they collide, and then the defender's helmet inadvertently contacts the ballcarrier's helmet.  Again, physics demand that this happens in such a case, even if it's a perfect form tackle when the contact is initiated.  I don't think this is targeting, and it doesn't belong in the game either.

This thread is about burgers, or mushrooms, or something.

Basically the same points I made when they 1st implemented this rule.Head to head contact is damn near unavoidable  different angles by different players moving in different directions with different intentions.But lets keep that under control

I agree with those points wholeheartedly, but...... the officials obviously do not

they only care about the helmets colliding and they will call  it and eject players

so, defenders need to be smart and avoid the somewhat unavoidable

Should have called the penalty but not the ejection

Dumbest thing I've read all day.
Dang that’s kinda rough ain’t it?  Maybe not much better but we had more points scored in regulation and more yards vs bama. Did you watch the game?  I think A&M was #7 in offense going in. They held us to 14 pts in regulation and scored on a scoop and score. 
You must still be sour about losing to them?  Still can’t believe y’all had a 31 game winning streak.

Looking back at Eastern Michigan's 12 losses since November 2016:
• HALF were in OT
• 11/12 were by 7 points or less
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BRUTAL,would seriously make one not watch/attend/listen.Even ask the Board of Regents to take the high,merciful road and pull the plug
