Yes - when it comes to rule changes for CFB.
I hate change - and especially with the greatest sport in the history of anything.

Why anyone would want LESS football is just foreign to me.

YOU are exactly right! Some people with nothing going for them like to screw with things people superior to them invented/made.

3 hours and 22 minutes in 2022 was the average.
College football games are taking longer, and everyone, including TV, wants to fix that

The reasons given are fewer running plays and offenses are not only throwing more passes, but being more successful doing it more than ever before.

82 passes thrown in the Bama game last season. 56 completions and 7 passing TDs.
That game was pushing 4 hours, but it was riveting television.

It sure seemed like the USCjr game lasted 6 hours.

Watching vandy game. I can't tell a difference. They are starting the play clock immediately. Both teams actually have had the play clock run down on them and they had to call tos to avoid a penalty. Vandy sucks btw.

I just heard about this a couple hours ago on the Doug Matthews show. He had a guest on that I missed the intro of, but it sounded like he was a football official for the SEC. He was talking about a new rule for this year where if an offensive player goes out of bounds by the bench on his team’s side of the field, the officials will stop the game to allow the defense to substitute. He then said that the teams in the conference that like to go up-tempo - it sounded like he wanted to name us but he stopped short of it, it really sounded like he was relishing this new rule and how it would affect us, sounded like he was smirking - would avoid running plays on their side of the field because of this rule. Am I missing something or did Kirby/Nick slip one by on us and successfully get the league to do away with our offensive scheme, which obviously relies on utilizing the entire field? If this rule does what I think it does, UT needs to sue the league for collusion, unfair trade practice, bad faith, unequal representation, and anything else they can think of (I‘m not a lawyer and have no doubt there’s a more pertinent law that covers this). And the officials that legislated this should be prosecuted for racketeering and banned for life.

Hopefully I misunderstood, but it sounded really bad.

The field storming one where you have to pay the team you beat instead of paying the sec is also ridiculously biased and towards bama. It’s been noted that I believe the bama ad was on the committee that came up with this rule.

The NFL hasn’t stopped the clock on first downs for a very long time. I have wanted this rule change for years. I’m glad they finally changed it. I wish they still didn’t stop the clock even inside 2 minutes of each half.

Why?

'to shorten the game'. What a stupid ****ing reason.

Have you seen the idiotic extra innings rule that MLB has? If games are to long, why not only play 7 innings? Les just make college games 10 minute quarters?

The guest's name was Tom Ritter. I looked him up just now and he's a former SEC official; one of the first Google results is a change.org petition calling for him to be banned from the league for his officiating. So it's definitely a rule, one that just got implemented. They didn't say anything about being forced about versus going out voluntarily. The thing that jumped out to me was when he said that teams that like to run tempo would be avoiding their bench side of the field because of this rule.

This exactly. They want to shorten the game by removing actual game time but god forbid we remove the 3 minute tv timeouts that occurs after the extra point, then another right after a 3 play 45 second scoring drive, then another after the next 3 and out.

I disagree. The clock stopped on 1st down gave a respite to the defense, albeit a small one. Now the offense can go, go, go. The defense will need to take a knee (if you get my drift) to get any rest.

It is total Hypocrisy; if you really want to shorten the game, cut half the commercials.... The players standing around on the field waiting for TV has to have an impact on their "Less injuries" agenda. Evidently they think we have an entire population of Followers.

Gonna just have to agree to disagree. The LAST thing I want to see is for the college game to become more like the NFL. You'd have to force me to watch an NFL game, and it's largely because of the running clock. Toward the end of Peyton's career, I got sick of watching games where he'd get only one or two possessions per quarter. I guess I just love watching football, and don't understand why less is supposed to be so much better.

Honestly, I don't look at the clock to see if it's running or not. I may look to se how much time is left in the quarter, but I never paid attention to if it was running after a first down.

Tennessee is going to go tempo regardless, unless they make some kinda rule outlawing a hurry up offense.

I agree that cutting the time for commercials would make a difference, but that's what pays the bills, so I don't see that happening.

And finally, when you have the officials having to run the field like they do for Heupel's offense, those guys are like me, too old to run the field with 22 young, in shape, athletes.
