Another thing that really bothers me -- why did Bucky get flagged for 15 yards in the 2014 OSU win, when I see tons of player TD celebration going on across college football this season?

Seriously, what's the difference in what Bucky did?

I really don't see why he would leave without giving this a VERY good shot. In my honest opinion, IF he can build the culture he wants (and I don't see why he can't), I honestly see him staying around quite a while and making Tech his permanent home. It really doesn't make sense why he would leave Marquette for Tech of all places, unless he wanted to make a permanent mark here.

I hate that there are 50 bowl games and 40 of them get slammed into the same day. Spread out the bowls please and they would all feel like a bigger deal.

It was pretty clear. Not sure why so many anOSU and other fans are so livid about that call.

This is the point I was trying to get across. It's like watching Duke play defense. I feel like the refs sometimes just say "it's just how Duke plays" and many of the fouls go uncalled. Give both teams props though, they get after it. Also, has to be extremely tough for officials to try and officiate teams who play that style.

I listen to mostly Bluegrass/country, blues, and rock. Not much rap and hip hop for me.

My top albums would be (in no specific order):

City and Colour - If I Should Go Before You, specifically the songs Lover Come Back and Northern Blues

Chris Stapleton - Traveler, the entire album

The Foo Fighters - Saint Cecilia EP, I wasn't overly impressed with Sonic Highways and Saint Cecilia gets back to their hard hitting rock they're known for.

Four Year Strong - Self-Titled. I've been a huge FYS fan since early high school and this is one of my favorites from them. It's up there with Enemy of the World.

Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley - Before The Sun Goes Down. the entire album is great. Two very talented guys doing Haggard covers and some originals.

The Steeldrivers - Muscle Shoals Recordings. I haven't listened to this one as much, but it's still a great album. Up there for one of my favorite Steeldrivers albums.

Eric Church - Mr. Misunderstood. Overall just a great album.

Easton Corbin - It's About To Get Real. I think it's a good album considering the current direction of younger country singers (i.e. FGL, Luke Bryan, etc.) I've always liked him though. He reminds me a lot of young Alan Jackson.

Mariota is in a few of them. There's the haunted house one that was already mentioned, one where he asks a bunch of questions and then they all get ice cream, one where he changes jerseys while playing ping pong, and one with Jim Plunkett serving him food. Youtube has all of them

Ha, which Aston Villa? The one that will be relegated in May (likely confirmed much sooner) or the one that will compete in the Championship next season? That one is far more interesting to me, because then we can discover if, once whatever talent devices to flee in the summer is gone, if they can actually coalesce as a team and compete. Despite the wealth of talent on the current squad, they for whatever reason cannot harness it. The sum of all parts is clearly less than the individual players.

Plus, so I can have some vested interest in the Prem next season since I won't be able to watch the Villa, I need to pick a new team. Either an existing one that may give me the hope to avoid constant losing (and contains a Welshman), like Arsenal, or a newly promoted team that will probably reinforce my commitment to shitty soccer...

What is with these teams that make it to a bowl and look like they have no idea how to pull off a forward pass

Uncalled fouls are frustrating for me as well. When we played VCU's Havoc, for example, it seemed to be a continuous foul that was seldom called, and I always thought that was because the refs just didn't want to stop the game every other possession to call them. I agree about the over the back non-calls in the WVU game. Some egregious actions were ignored. It wouldn't have changed the outcome, I don't think, but it was tough to see it happening time and time again.

I'm the opposite from you. I can count on one hand how many times I've only bought a single and not the whole album.

Granted I collect CDs and records so that has something to do with it. I like to have a physical copy and not just digital (last I counted I have over 475 CDs and about 50 records. Just started with records this past summer though.)
