Title: Poor Pig........ Post by: droner on October 06, 2013, 04:35:44 EDT The kid was just trying to make a play. But the ball got to the goal line before he did.
I've always been uneasy with players diving and holding the ball out trying to hit the goal line or the pylon. It can be knocked out by a defensive player or fumbled. And sure enough, it happened. But I can't blame a player who goes all out trying to make a big play. We've certainly seen the opposite the last few years. Without Pig, we wouldn't have even been in position to win the game in the first place. Title: Re: Poor Pig........

As a matter of fact, my wife had just turned to me and said, "If he keeps playing like this, there are going to be a lot of babies in Tennessee named Pig." :laugh:
