I agree in principle but actually applying it in a way that 1) does not cause as many problems as it's solves 2) doesn't completely kill the watch ability of the game seems impossible.

NC-17 posted:That sucks. But on the other hand whatever, it's not like the Lions played so well and then had a win stolen out from under them. yes, the team that was only three points down that would have had the ball six inches from the goal line with under two minutes to play wasn't going to win anyway, excellent analysis I mean seriously, the offense was dogshit but the defense played pretty drat well and to see their effort squandered because of a loving missed penalty in spite of the dogshit offense is just heartbreaking.

Besides, as a Michigan fan, we had an rear end in a top hat CEO running the athletic department, and he was run out of town so vociferously, he had to move to New Jersey. Everyone knows the NCAA is bad, but the cracks are visible and things will be taken down in the near-future. Meanwhile, the NFL will have ginger tattletale Roger Goodell for decades to come.

Ross had a good point as to why not just review every play like in college, sure, and why not give it a shot in some preseason games. If it's totally terrible then sure, why not kill it. It's just we're so worried about the ability to watch games and yet we have all these totally unnecessary TV timeouts that are already killing the ability to watch games and doing nothing to improve the quality of the games themselves.

I think you might feel a bit differently if you weren't a fan of a major power conference team with an amazing coach. You actually have hopes and legitimate paths to a championship in the coming years. The Chargers will win 10 superbowls before SDSU ever sniffs the college football playoff

It's understandable that the individual Back Judge might not have known the specifics of the rule. But it's inexcusable that neither the Side or Field Judge—both of whom also saw it—called a conference and then made the call on the field before it went to review.

Ross Angeles posted:I'd disagree about the "near" part. It's gonna take a while because that's how things go. We had said rear end in a top hat CEO from 2011-2014, and he was fired in an humiliating way because college sports are different than the pros. Those hopes and legitimate paths to a championship were literally created by the community out of sheer will and determination. Honestly, it's going to be a big conference/little conference split as part of the NCAA reforms. Seriously though, I think I've only watched two full NFL games all year, and maybe only a handful of snippets of other live NFL game action. Once it doesn't mean that much any more, it's not hard to fill up the time elsewhere. Eifert Posting posted:Yeah but some of us like defense... Then watch the Big Ten, where Michigan is shutting out opponents, Michigan State turns 2-star recruits into first-round draft picks, and Ohio State plays just well enough to not lose. If you want nothing but offense, watch the Big 12. If you want quick offense that can turn into balanced shootouts, watch the Pac 12. Heck, if you want a bunch of little dudes running a gimmick offense to perfection, watch Air Force. The variety of college football is what makes it fun. That, and actually going to games and having a good time. Top Hats Monthly posted:As a gophers fan, I personally believe college football is bullshit and should be burned to the ground. Much like my hopes and dreams. The Big Ten West is a wide-open division with no good longtime powers, and if Minnesota wins that, they essentially play a worn-down Michigan/MSU/Ohio State for a spot in the college football playoffs, where anything can presumably happen. Minnesota isn't really in that bad of spot. AsInHowe fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Oct 6, 2015 |

The prodigal son is returning: the Bucs are working out Connor "I tore my ACL playing a charity basketball" Barth tomorrow. I thought he was already signed and cut by someone else this season for some reason but no, he was signed to a 2-year deal in Tampa during the preseason, cut, and now they're probably going to hire him again.

College football does actually really suck if your team sucks. Of the times where I've put down money to watch the gophers, they've won once, the crowd is dead and sad drunks pray that we only lose to Wisconsin by thirty. I'm undergoing the opposite this year as I'm becoming dissatisfied with NCAA.
