Was there in fact an uncalled hold against ND on this play? I believe it would have been against Abdul Carter who then broke free and ran back to be the last guy Love made contact with before/while crossing the goal line.
Google and AI unhelpful, returning conflicting information as usual. I don't see a fluids table in the manual either.
Trying to drill down into the forums now. Any help is appreciated.
FWIW, in northern Michigan, so get warm summer temps and cold winter temps.
What is the current technique being taught for 1v1's?
Just saw a training vid where kid effectively stops close ups with the k-stop.
It occurred to me that in identical situations I would:
-force an angle if possible
-dive forward with ribs along the ground
-hands outstretched to ball
-ideally land on my side
-and once I've captured the ball with my hands, tuck it in to chest/tummy
-wrap up in a fetal position to protect the ball and myself
all this based on my training from 20-30 years ago.
Is the k-stop recommended as the go to method for all 1v1s now? Or is the dive and capture still taught as well?

Not sure if this is the right group. If not, perhaps someone could kindly guide me to the correct one, if it exists Thanks! 😊
Wanting to see if there is a way to find scans of my yard (Google Earth?) or a way to get them or create my own, in order to get rid of old trash piles?
I'm not super tech savvy, or know much about lidar but my son is, so DIY could be a possibility. I see lidar being used by hobbyists in the geology and archaeology groups to discover cool things long since buried.
I would like to scan our yard, more specifically our field (about 2 acres). We live on an old farmstead. The farmers used to just bury their trash out there. We've found multiple piles. Kids have already put 2 nails through their shoes playing out on the field. Would like to find them and get the trash cleaned up so the kids can play safely out there without worrying about if theyre going to get hurt!
Wondered if there was a way to use lidar to find these piles without disturbing the ground too much or wasting time searching aimlessly.
We have a metal detector which we employed with some success, but is rather time consuming. Also tried a controlled burn, with ok success. Edit: We also have a drone, if that helps with any way to employ lidar.
Would love to know if this kind of technology is readily available as a phone app, open-source satellite imagery, or if we should just stick to the old school method of search and destroy?
Thanks!

Still very happy with my level of play. So are my teammates. Even get positive feedback from opposing team players fairly frequently. Makes this old man feel pretty good.
Anyway, lacking video footage of myself to pick apart, I'm always curious to see what my play/reactions look like just to see (as my own coach) what I would correct, or what I think I'm doing right but actually might be easily spotted and then corrected if I had a camera on me.
One of the things I've noticed though, is that on occasion (maybe more often?), I turn my face away, especially on 1v1s. It depends, but seems like more than a few of these are the ones that end up getting by me. I do still save quite a few even when I look away, so I know instinct and muscle memory is at play too. And the only reason I noticed it is because I'm coaching my son to keep his face forward and to keep his eye on the ball, watching it all the way into his hands.
It got me thinking, do the pros do this at all? Or are they so elite that they can superhumanly override their natural involuntary reactions, truly keep their eyes on the ball, and that is how they are able to defend the net so well?
Well, I just found a clip of my favorite keeper Emi Martinez flinching. I was rather comforted by this! 😅 Granted it was absolutely point blank shot and almost directly at his chin, PLUS he still stopped the ball. Even at 10% playback speed, the shot was still quick as a bullet.
But I was curious, is this common even among pros? Does anyone know of a montage or highlight reel of sorts that is strictly top level keepers flinching/looking away? Maybe I'll have to start a playlist.
If you have a link to something, please use the time stamp option when sharing the link.
Here's the one of Martinez (at 4:09)

I'm considering taking my family for our first game ever in the next year or so.
It's kind of a big deal for us to be able to do something like that. I think there will be tears shed, not unlike Rudy's dad 😆
What kind of price range will I be looking at? Definitely a home game. One of the big games would be cool, but I imagine those will be more expensive, plus the kids won't really know the difference. Doesn't have to be front row on the 50 yard line, but wouldn't mind something a little closer than back row up top in of the stadium.
Any suggestions on best way or site to buy tickets?
Thanks! Go Irish! ☘️🏈
TLDR: (I see the automod comment pinned and so I've removed my how-to questions. This is just a vent).
All the variations of a single card is super annoying and time consuming to try to figure out which variation you are actually staring cross-eyed at and how much it is valued straight out of the pack.
I havent collected cards for 30+ years. Now my kids are getting into football cards. It has actually been really fun for me too. I feel like it's the lotto for kids, lol.
Anyway, something I noticed that has changed about cards these days that makes it really time consuming and frustrating is that with all the holographic or reflective or (whatever they're called) variations/parallels of a single card, it's really hard to tell them apart.
First there seem to be about 30 variations of a single card, and half of them are just different shades of the same color- this one is chrome with a pink line and that one is chrome with a pink squiggle and another is silver with a dark pink squiggle and a line. It's exhausting.
I tried an app that "scans" the card, and maybe there are other better ones, but half the time the result wouldn't even be the correct player, let alone the correct card and accurate delineation of the variation.
So my kids are all excited because they just found out who Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson and Joe Montana are, pull them, and I'm left to try to figure out if this is the $0.75 variation or the $500 college fund starter. After spending an hour and a half going through the 5,000 cards he got from his birthday party, I gave up trying to look up prices on anything.
Why did the card companies have to do this? How does it make it more fun. Granted, they aren't concerned about that, so... How does it even help them sell more cards?
It used to be a Nolan Ryan #235 was a Nolan Ryan #235 and you chewed the crumbly bubble gum and put it in a case and saved it til it reached a value of $0.90 15 years later or went and traded your friend for Super Mario 2. Now, it brings on a migraine. Good gravy it's annoying.
