The Cardiac Bruins strike
Maybe I need to make some time to watch college football this year. Especially if the offensive line can keep Josh Rosen healthy. --Bob

The Arizona Wildcats beat NAU 62-24 Saturday.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin moves to the top of the list for the first coach to get his walking papers this season.
Second biggest comeback in Division I-A (FBS) history. UCLA trailed 44-10 in the third quarter and scored 35 consecutive points to end the game.

In homage to aj, I'd describe it as UCLA scoring 35 unanswered points to win the game. --Bobsilverscreenselect wrote:Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin moves to the top of the list for the first coach to get his walking papers this season.

Re: The Cardiac Bruins strike
He should have received those papers at the end of last season, IMO. That was the worst case of coaching I've seen in a long time. After our starting redshirt freshan QB was hurt they put in the more athletic true freshman. He had a lot of success early running, but clearly could not close out the game. We should have put in our senior to take control. He might not have scored but I think he would have kept us on the field a little longer. Now the true freshman probably has PTSD.silverscreenselect wrote:Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin moves to the top of the list for the first coach to get his walking papers this season.

If we get rid of Sumlin, it will have been worth it.

Plus, I believe aj was only bothered by the use of "unanswered" to describe a scoring string that was broken up by the other team finally scoring again. I'd assume from the description that A&M did not score again once the comeback started, so this actually was a case of 35 unanswered points being scored...

No, A&M answered, but the answer was always "Yeah, that was quick, here's the ball back, bet you can't do it again."littlebeast13 wrote: I'd assume from the description that A&M did not score again once the comeback started, so this actually was a case of 35 unanswered points being scored...

Re: The Cardiac Bruins strike
Precisely my point. It's an appropriate use of "unanswered." --Boblittlebeast13 wrote:

Re: The Cardiac Bruins strike
Yep, UCLA did, in fact, score 35 unanswered. As long as they said that after Texas A&M failed on their last possession and not as soon as UCLA scored their 35th point it was an OK usage.
My objection has two elements. 1. When the announcer uses it for consecutive points even though the other team did, in fact, answer the last score. 2. When the announcer uses it before the other team even has a chance to answer.

Re: The Cardiac Bruins strike
Good to see you here, AJ. Did you play in the Challenge Trivia championships in New Orleans last month? It sounded like the early rounds were pretty insignificant compared to the final question (which I happened to get right when someone shared it with me). There are a couple of Challenge Trivia locations in Austin, but I have only played it a couple of times. I always like to support alternatives to Geeks Who Drink.andrewjackson wrote:Yep, UCLA did, in fact, score 35 unanswered.

Re: The Cardiac Bruins strike
We did not go to the tournament in New Orleans. I had a family reunion in Indiana and a wedding in Michigan last month. My usual teammates were also out town a lot last month so we just skipped it this year.TheConfessor wrote: Good to see you here, AJ.

The final question is what almost always determines the tournament. I like the Challenge format and type of questions except for that aspect. Our locations keep getting rid of the game so we have been bouncing around a lot this year in Houston. I've pretty much given upon Geeks Who Drink. I have been playing at some bars that do their own games. Uneven question quality but the weirdness makes it fun sometimes.
