Ref butt slap to BYU QB

Just watching the game for the first time tonight. On BYUs successful touchdown drive in the first quarter the BYU QB has a successful run on 3rd and 2. Then the ref with a "c" gives the QB a but slap as he runs back to the huddle. Just seems odd to me. I would think if a player gave a ref a butt slap they would probably be ejected. And just from an optics perspective it looks like that ref is rooting for BYU. Kinda like in that Nebraska vs OU game where the ref did a celebratory motion for Texas before calling a touchdown good. Thoughts?

On That Note: Nobody Does It Better

One of the longest and most successful movie franchises has been James Bond 007 series. Most have been recently available on Prime and I've been getting caught up and filling in the gaps.

This week's OTN is asking for your favorite 007 movie feature/theme song. And if it coincides with your favorite film let us know. Otherwise you may add which ever one is.

Lastly, another optional item; List your prefered Bond actors 1 through 5.

We are allowing multiple of the same, so go ahead and post even if your favorite(s) have already been posted.

Your OTN team are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

Last week's topic was Now and Then: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-now-and-then.281979/

Football Tiebreaker Rule Change

Sounding like the Big 12 is going to be “clarifying” the tiebreaker rules tomorrow. Currently, in a multiple-team tie, the round robin tiebreaker only applies if every team has played every other team tied. Sounds like they’re changing it in a way that will benefit Oklahoma State, where the tiebreaker applies if one team has defeated every other tied team.

Ash tree replacement

I live on a farm with a lot of ash trees that are dead or in the process of dying from EAB.
This since the weather has been nice this past few weeks we are taking down about 20 trees in our grove- next year will probably be the rest from around the rest of the yard.
I was wondering what we are going to replace these trees with. I would like something that is relatively fast growing for a hardwood tree, low maintenance, and is not really “dirty” once grown.
I an 43 and would like to enjoy these new trees at some point fully grown, or is that a pipe dream?

Assistant Coach appreciation for football

I was listening to CDub praising Nate, (way too often I have to say). I mean shut up, we don't need to make this a thing for all to notice. ;)

Most of us believe that Nate will get a head coaching job sooner than later I guess, so I started thinking about replacements from the current staff.

Has Jordan Langs or Ryan Clanton been the biggest reasons behind the scenes of the improvements on offense? I mean look at special teams and our RBs, Jordan gets a lot of credit there. But those RBs are starting to get better holes and that credit goes to Ryan.

Taylor Mouser has been amazing coaching the TEs. Especially the rapid improvement from game 1 to where we are now. Of course I'm a bit biased as I consider him a friend.

Obviously the defense has made great improvements and the whole group should be recognized, but I think Tyson Veidt needs to be called out as helping to build that young group into a very serviceable group. I think Bacon has become my favorite.
