I mean, he has to know that Captain America is fictional, right?

1 day 7 hours ago This is probably the best

This is probably the best thing that has ever been posted on the blog, content-wise. 

Also, it goes to show that the average football fan has no idea what goes into a gameplan. It is easy to criticize coaches on game day, but they know what they are doing. A good coach never blames the players, but if things don't go well, it's because of exection about 80% of the time. 

Borges has forgotten more about football than anyone on this blog knows.

4 weeks 3 days ago Ygritte

I always got the impression in the books that she wasn't much of a looker. However, I'm glad they made her attractive, and it doesn't really affect the story in any way. 

Taken from the GOT wiki page. http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Ygritte

 

Appearance

Ygritte is nineteen, and described as short for her age, skinny but well-muscled, with a round face, small hands, a pug nose, and crooked white teeth. Her most distinctive feature was her fiery red hair. The wildlings consider red hair to be lucky and describe those with it as having been "kissed by fire." [1]

Despite her unconventional features, Jon Snow sees her as beautiful.

4 weeks 6 days ago I'm pretty pessimistic about

I'm pretty pessimistic about the Lions, but some of you people are downright depressing. 

If I'm the Morrisey of Detroit Lions fandom, you dudes are Ian Curtis. 

4 weeks 6 days ago You are right about power not

You are right about power not really being an outside play. I just meant that it's not hitting in the A gap, and because of power being a gap scheme, the blitzes shouldn't affect it if it is executed properly. 

4 weeks 6 days ago Agreed. A gap blitzes kill

Agreed. A gap blitzes kill teams that trap/pull alot. But, it's feast or famine for the defense. Those linebackers better disrupt and help make a play, or bad things can happen, as they will be behind the play. 

On the power play, I wouldn't even care if the inside backers blitz. If we block it right, it shouldn't matter, as it is a play that hits outside. The blitz SHOULD take them out of the play. 

4 weeks 6 days ago Ross/Morgan Stunt/ Blitz

It's not uncommon for the inside linebackers to run a stunt on a blitz and switch gaps. The reason Ross looked so freakishly quick is that Morgan has to delay for a split second so that Ross can pass in front of him. These blitzes can confuse offensive linemen. They are looking for number 48, as he is their biggest threat, and number 15 runs screaming past them into the hole. 

And, I don't think they had the same gap. They probably both were blitzing the A gaps, but with the movement of the offensive line, the A gaps became one. 

 

EDIT: Upon further review, I think the demise of this play is on the shoulders of Miller and Kalis. They are running power. Miller's job is probably to protect the weakside A gap. He gets a little confused when no one shows right away, and decides to block god knows who. Kalis is supposed to pull around and get the playside backer. Once he pulls, he should have eyes on his man. It doesn't look like he ever finds him. If he saw him, he would have seen the blitz coming and probably walled it off. Instead, he looks to help clean up the playside defensive lineman, which didn't require help.

I've only ever gone to games on someone else's dime (read:season ticket holder.) I really want to go the the OSU game this year. Realistically, how difficult and/or expensive will it be for me to get tickets?

Furthermore, I am an alum, but am I not sure how to verify that so I get my points. 

Any help would be appreciated.
