If he doesn't sign the bill, you can always move out here to Oregon. ;)

I guess I should rephrase...what in the blue hell does your gardening activities or medical marijuana have to do with the block charge play in the OP? :confused:

The call being an ordinary garden variety charge call. I've got gardening on my mind today. It's the second most wonderful time of the year. I can't wait to see the centerfold in my next seed catalog. My last seed catalog had a real hot petunia as the centerfold.

Saw this live and thought it was super-standard. Not even close. Would have been controversial if it hadn't been called!

Billy, you need to work another sport. You have too much free time on your hands.

To be fair I believe he meant he was "set before the player went airborne", which is relevant for this particular play.

Didn't say those words exactly but he said he was there early. Like when an announcers says "a good over-the-back call" when there was actually a good push foul called.

What if he moved backwards while the player was in the air? ;)

Bad M&M Guy.

Aww come on man, Elmer's couldn't even use the last equine we flagellated.

Oh, I know; I think my brain is just shutting down for the evening, and I posted during a weak moment.

As far as the OP, it was a pretty simple, correct call. I wish the poster would come back and respond to our comments. But, then again, I figure (s)he is back on the fan boards so (s)he can commiserate with only people that agree.

That would have put him in the RA and made it a block! :D

Unfortunately, that's not really true. Now, it may seem like all I ever do is argue with you, and that's not my intent. But in the case of NCAA rules, and the RA, the secondary defender can establish an initial guarding position outside the RA, and if contact occurs in the defender's torso as the defender is retreating, it would still be a charge.

But the effort was certainly appreciated. ;) :D
