New to bluesky, but I like the vibes!

Feels like stepping into a hot shower after a year of trudging through mud and toxic sludge.

I enjoy crosswords, D&D, and college football in equal parts.

I also have a PhD in political science and offer very occasional commentary on world events.

Ahoy!

(Not really though, the defense is still very much a problem, just less of one in second halves)

If you want to win, simply score more points imo

I personally would like to retract every bad thing I said about the defense

A block by Georgia RB Cash Jones that was called a blindside block. In the somewhat grainy image, Cash is in front of the player he is blocking, leading with his shoulder into the shoulder of the Auburn player.

Searles and first half Schumann

Two minute timeout was 9:01, halftime was like 9:40

I’m not sure they’re helping their case

drjoiner.bsky.social @drjoiner.bsky.social · 15h

If you award the fumble how do you not also award the clear TD?

drjoiner.bsky.social @drjoiner.bsky.social · 15h

This is… a great point

drjoiner.bsky.social @drjoiner.bsky.social · 15h

It’s the first half and Auburn has 200 yards and Georgia has 20. It’s a team wide issue at this point

drjoiner.bsky.social @drjoiner.bsky.social · 15h

Gunner is the least of Georgia’s worries. The defense can’t get pressure or stops on third downs. The offensive line can’t get healthy or make crucial blocks. The RBs fumble too much. I’m mad about 10 things before we even get to Gunner.

Did you know the Joker is a wanted man?

Is that bad

The offense needs a deficit to feel alive

drjoiner.bsky.social @drjoiner.bsky.social · 14d

And this is with Bama struggling to run the ball!

drjoiner.bsky.social @drjoiner.bsky.social · 14d

I miss Dan Lanning

Georgia had a receiver who was somehow open for 9 seconds and then also didn’t drop the ball

It really is a new year, huh

Winning this game would be the funniest thing Billy Napier could possibly do

It’s important to recognize our biases

COLUMN: The ACC airing replay review communication is awesome, and every conference should start doing this.

Transparency is good for fans, plus it's more entertaining TV than the status quo.

The ACC’s live look into replay review is working, and other conferences should take note

The ACC has introduced a level of replay transparency that should become the norm across the country.

I told my friends this is the best innovation in football broadcasting that I can remember. Complete game changer

Who I believe also got hurt, almost immediately
