Shaw stole us three points by calling a time out after the Vandy second down play and getting the ball back at the end of the half for a field goal attempt as the clock expired. I only counted one time out on offense, but I don't think it was because the clock expired; it was taken with 9 seconds on the game clock. I guess we did have a delay of game on a field goal attempt. Is that what drove you to hit the beer garden?

yes, in crucial situations, plays are extremely late getting in, if they get in time at all. the Sanders mildcat seems to be a really slow personnel package to get going. anyway unnecessary DOGs or wasted TOs. I will give credit though -- no Shahfecta -- the DOG followed by TO followed by DOG which has occurred.
our whole section was yelling at Shaw on the TO you reference. as Vandy is only slightly louder than the Library, he may have heard us? then late in the game when Myrtle-ing, Shaw does the opposite -- plays are in quickly and we don't run out the clock well -- sometimes under 10, never under 5 and sometimes above 30 (or at least in stadium play clock). may be out of practice on Myrtle-ing? in these latter situations, alas the beer garden had closed so impact probably much more pronounced.
good rally (tip of the hat to the West Coasters). among others, it was great to see Garin Veris and Greg Baty at the game. we could have used them both.
