Jameis Winston stole crab legs and is due for millions. He risked jail and millions of dollars. Don't tell me you know what other people will and will not do. Everyone has a price and some are much lower than others.

Think bout all the dudes that cheat on their wives with cheap backstreet hookers, risking it all for one disease filled night with a hoore.

I'm looking at the recap. Are you talking about when they were up 10?  They had a two score lead. A FG and it remains 2 scores. A TD and it's 3 score or they get first down and burn the clock. A fg protects the spread. The last thing on the coaches mind. Come on man!.

That was a choice any coach would make. The FG was not that big a deal, still two scores, a first down or TD meant game over. Coaching 101.

Here are the last plays of Northern Illinois drives in the 2nd half, where should the coach have kicked a FG with a tough wind and a true Freshman kicker that prior to last night had attempted 5 XP and 0 FG?

punt from own 22

TD

punt from own 34

punt from Toledo 36 (up 3 points)

TD

turnover on downs at Toledo 21 (up 10 points)

punt from Toledo 46

the FG forces them to score two TD not just two scores, but two tuttys to win.

You don't turn the ball over in a situation like that. It's almost as if he wanted them to have the ball back

Where would you have tried a FG with the kicker whose first collegiate FG was earlier in the game? 

No way I attempt a 38 yard FG in that wind with a rookie kicker to up lead from 10 to 13.  If it was to up lead from 14 to 17 maybe, but no way in that situation.

This is pretty simple.....the coach thought that getting a first down, continuing the drive and eating up more clock was more valuable then adding 3 points to an already 2 score lead.  He also probably thought he had a better chance converting the first down then he did making the field goal. 

This is very normal thinking.  You can't argue that the above mentality is "shady." 

There's so many other things a coach has to consider in 15-20 seconds as well.  Are you feeling confident in your defense?  What about a blocked field goal or bad snap?  Do you have a play ready to go that you feel good about?  So many small things that us degenerate gamblers think we understand....but dont.

I will hunt the boogie man for tonight's MAC clashes to find what coach is on the take. Me thinks it may be Kent States coach. I will be loading up on the boys from Bowling Orange...I mean Green. Why are their colors orange?

Some of you need serious help in understanding football.  

1.   The dude fell from momentum.  Try this run as fast as you can straight then at last second look up turn right and catch a football.   He had to turn in last minute.  His upper body got to the ball carrying him to the ground.  I know it's crazy.  

2.   Seriously if you don't understand why they didn't kick a fg you don't Understand the game of football.   To start at this point in the game being up 10 or 13 is highly unlikely to make a difference.  So the choices are attempt 2 yards with a Fing bulldozer to end the game.  Or kick a fg in a fierce wind that is far from gimme fg attempt to go up 13.  Which really means little.  Based on everything.  You run with best player on the field.

All good and valid points guys. I'd have to watch the play again but it didn't seem momentum made him fall. I do understand where you're coming from though.

Still doesn't change my opinion that the MAC has the most head scratching plays and scenarios that make you go hmmmm.

he wasn't PAID anything--he was blackmailed over kiddie porn by his neighbor who had a ton on the other team.

blackmail is the leading cause of fixing

This Kent St Bowling Green is setting up as another one like last night.  BGSU total domination for better part of the first 1/2 holding Kent St to 20 yard offense.  Books post -6.5 2nd half knowing everyone will be on BG yet begging you to take them.....I had BGSU as soon as the lines posted at -13.  With 2nd half it looked to easy for BG so I middled on Kent St +20.  On Mac games throw out logic and beat them at their own game.
