It happened, it was the right call, and even if that is debatable, it wasn't a BAD call by Harbaugh. It worked out exactly as he wanted it to. His team took a snap without incident, and no further injury was risked to his players. It's gambling. Sometimes the weird plays go your way, sometimes they don't. Get over it.
bk His logic and reasoning for doing it was so Seattle wouldn't get a chance to win the game. He said nothing about player safety so I don't think that was his concern at the time. For Seattle to win, they would have to recover a free kick. Then score a touchdown with no timeouts. And this would be against a defense that completely manhandled them the 2nd half. Then recover an onsides kickoff. Then work their way into field goal range with NO timeouts, and kick a 40-50 yard field goal to win the game. All in about 40 seconds. Oregon couldn't even pull that off. |

Declining the safety... smartest call I've seen a coach make in a long time

It's not easy taking points OFF the board... but he did it and it was the right thing to do. Congrats Seahawk backer. lol |

This. Rule #1 of football is that you do not take points off the board. Other than a roughing the kicker penalty which gives you a fresh set of downs, you do not take points off the board. Harbaugh is the only coach in the NFL that makes that decision. Of course the call made perfect logical sense to Seahawk backers, but honestly that was one of the most baffling and head scratching decisions ever made in a football game. |

USC played a shitty game because Stanford punched them in the mouth on both sides of the ball all game long. So please give credit where credit is due. Refer to the LSU game on how Washington stacks up against physical teams that are relentless on D, and rams the ball down your throat on offense. And the Husky injury report is kinda long right now......... |

Since they were assistant coaching buddies under Carroll, Kiffin and Chow are probably blowing each other right now. Your 2nd paragraph definitely shoulda been included in your capping of that game. Kiffin wasn't gonna embarrass Chow and run it up on him because of their history.

Can folks stop posting stuff about Floyd Mayweather and his Michigan bet?
It's been dismissed as a false rumor days ago.

If he thinks it gets messy like he said, I think you'll be pretty safe with -3 let alone 1.5.

Nah, it's the human spirit and core values surfacing. The NCAA basically left that program for dead. But they refuse to die, and the're defiant, proud, and angry right now. And they're ready to fight. The way that they refused to abandon their school and program during it's darkest hour was very powerful. Fuck the national championship squads. This group of guys are gonna go down as being PSU's greatest team.

Miami's accomplishment is about as rediculous as Arizona giving up a total of 331 total rushing yards in a season. |

Penn St will remain in the Big 10. They will take in on the chin for the next few years no doubt. But this isn't SMU or some other mid-level program here. This is Penn St. They're a super-heavyweight and one of the most storied, powerful and proudest traditions in all of college football. NTM a damn near bottomless well of resources and support. They will rise again. |

1. West coast night games, (especially NL games) usually go under. 2. Explosive bats and horrible pitching makes Rockies games usually go over. Especially at Coors. 3. Never expect the Giants to win by more than one run. 4. The Braves on Friday nights home or away are usually money. 5. Yanks/Red Sox games at Fenway go over 75% of the time.

Best all around teams I've ever seen are: Washington 1991 Miami 2001 USC 2004 USC 2005 Nebraska 1995 I'd put these 5 teams against ANY team from ANY era. |

Washington 1991 USC 2008 Miami 2001 Arizona 1993. Nobody mentions this team, but in 12 games, they gave up an average of 13PPG, and gave up 331 TOTAL rushing yards. |
