Jimari Butler made a big mistake, IMO, transferring to LSU where he is 2nd string.

This is a guy that Rhule regularly praised for doing things the right way and also playing through pain. The coaches respected him and the fans liked him. He would be starting here. He would be the captain of the DL. Why leave that situation?

And I'm supposed to believe that LSU is paying him better money than what Nebraska was offering and they are paying him to be a back up???

I honestly have no clue but maybe he was butt sore about TW and Pot Roast leaving? Curious if any insidhers know.

I think sometimes players leave for other reasons. Butler graduated and wanted to play a final season closer to family.

Baton Rouge is only a 2 hour drive up I-12 for his mom.

This was a different situation than what occurred with Prince, JW, and Gbayor.

Pittman out, this season has to be a record for coaches fired this early in.

Arkansas coach? Talk about a program that has suffered more than us moving from one conference to another. SEC has been rough on them.

The transfer portal has forced teams to have to make these moves early. Gotta have the new man in place to save your roster from having a mass exodus.

I was watching the game last night and while Allar is slightly more mobile, it think Raiola is a legit better passer. Maybe it’s the homer in me, but I think he could be the most underrated QB in CFB

Well he is a far better passer than Allar. Allar is super average passing the ball. Tyler Warren made him look decent last year, but that guy was a complete freak at the college level

He's not the "Nebraska Way" but I'd take Joey Freshwater in a heartbeat.

yeah, winning with contempt for the opponent would be a nice change from losing with dignity.

Why have teams been going for two when they are only going to be down by 7 if they kick the extra point? If you miss the conversion, then you will have to go for two if you score again regardless. I just don't understand why teams have been doing that. Just seems stupid and unnecessary.

You only have to get 1 two point conversion to tie or win in 2 tries vs. 1 to win or lose if you kick the first one.

Of course this operates under the shaky assumption that with 11 minutes to go in the game the other team is done scoring

Baron Winnebago said:
Yeah I'd just like to see the actual data on how often sometimes these cockamamie schemes pay off because I think the support for it is mostly theoretical.

turek420845 said:
What I don't understand is that why go for it on the previous touchdown. If you miss, then you have to do it again. If you wait to go for two on the second touchdown, then that seems more favorable. Why possibly make yourself got for two twice rather than once.

Baron Winnebago said:
It's really just about splitting the risk across 2 tries instead of 1.

Suppose you're a team that converts 60% of your 2 point conversion attempts.

If you go for for it when you score to go down 1, you have a 60% chance of winning (40% chance of failure)

If you go for it on 2 tries, there's an 84% probability of converting one or both (drops probability of failure to 16%)

Of course if you succeed on the first try (down 8) which has an equal probability of success as down 1, you get an even higher chance of going up because PATs are 99%+

At least that's what I think the rationale is

Increases your win % by ~12.5%

Yeah that's the logic but it's not a 50/50 gamble for every team even though it's a binary outcome.

It increasing your chances of winning by some % based on how good you are at 1. Converting 2s, and 2. getting the ball back without giving up a score.

I also think if I’m coming back from 2 TDs down in the fourth quarter, I’m going to like my odds in OT.

Being down 2 TDs, and then scoring 2 TDs, but losing anyway because you shook off the PAT would be incredibly demoralizing to your team.

They've been in the SEC for almost 35 years. Not sure you can blame their struggles on that transition. Houston Nutt and Bobby Petrino had a lot of success for almost 15 years.

Petrino absolutely fucked them over with his adultery scandal. He was rolling at that point. But when he got canned, it also coincided suddenly with the Nick Saban turning Bama back into a power. LSU suddenly got good again. Georgia started to get their shit together. Both Mississippi schools were good. Florida was a juggernaut and South Carolina was good.

And their neighbors were good as well. Mizzou was very competitive. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were top 10. The Texas schools kept getting better and better.

Arkansas suddenly found themselves playing 10th fiddle for recruits.
