We (my HL and LJ) check the lines versus the yard marks. If there's a discrepancy, we'll figure out whether it is the chains, the paint..or both. I have heard of guys that bring a non-stretch rope that is exactly 360" long. I don't have that.....yet.

I'm not sure. I was referring to the practice of measuring when it's clearly short on the field based on the lines we're given.
(I know I'm repeating myself here....) I trust the lines. Always. If we start on the 20 after a touchback and the ball is one inch short of the 30, it's short. I *will not measure*. I *will not* move the ball in that situation using the chains, either, because if I bring the chains out that one inch short could be a first down by the chains and that would be a problem. Using the lines, IMO, is the only way everyone has a consistent frame of reference. The offense knows it needs the 30 and the defense knows it needs to hold the 30. And since we start every new series (after a kickoff or punt) on a major yard line (actually, we don't, but we sure try to) we use the lines a lot. I'm not going to bring the chains out when we're a foot short so the chains prove the lines are off and we actually have a first down. The defense's coach would have a cardiac and I wouldn't blame him. Last edited by Rich; Mon Oct 18, 2010 at 03:58pm. |

2) Good to see some guys still have a sense of humor. 3) Can't imagine how pissy fits get going on this site between guys. I referenced C-sport for my fellow WI-nites....Do us a favor, call one of the Kennedys and look for the real shooter of JFK if you want a pissin' match or better yet...go debate with some of your locals how Manhattan clam chowder is in NO WAY better than your New England version.....Jesus. Can you redeem those labels for some class....? Thought so.

I'm down to 4 dates (5 games) left in my season. Where did it all go? |

I hear you Rich, football season goes too fast. I lost the last three weeks of my schedule thanks to work so my season essentially ended on Saturday. That was rather abrupt.
Thankfully basketball season is just around the corner.

And it all started because the terminal did not do what he should, come in and mark the spot on a close situation...I pregame this each game and I am not a yeller at all, but I have been known to raise my voice at a terminal to "COME IN AND MARK IT!"

did you think I was trying to start a pissing match with you? or taking a shot at wisconsin or something?? I was goofily pointing out the "hidden theme" of the last couple posts: gravy...can...campbells get it? (It's like Password. Or $20,000 Pyramid.) If you thought that there was a dig at you somewhere in there, trust me, there wasn't! Add: I suppose it's possible that you're just goofing around, too. In which case: 1. LBJ was obviously the real shooter (it was a body double who got sworn in on the plane). 2. Manhattan Clam Chowder is an abomination. It should be called Tomato and Clam Soup Eaten in a Region Whose Baseball Team is About to Lose the ALCS 4-1. 3. Brewers suck, too Last edited by chymechowder; Tue Oct 19, 2010 at 11:04am. |

There is NO debate as to which chowder is better... New England, obviously. Manhattan isn't chowder, it's soup. Good grief!!! ( )
