Yep. And Ndy will think they just beat a Bama or a UGA and think this is their year to go all the way to the CFP.

I’m going to steal this and slightly modify it. I will use Ndy* throughout the season. And then add a clarifying footnote at the bottom of the one or two posts where I reference Ndy**.

Caleb Williams’ fingernails are portrayed prominently in Dr Pepper commercial?

People won’t like that lol.

I went into the pharmacy and asked the girl behind the counter what is the best thing for killing germs.
She responded, "Ammonia cleaner."
I replied, "Sorry, I didn't see a mop and I thought you worked here."

In last year’s vanderbilt-Hawaii game, there were 153 plays from scrimmage. In last night’s game, there were 113 plays run… very similar results as the ND-Navy game yesterday as well, about a 40 play differential. These new rules are terrible and take away from the game, yet there are just as many commercial breaks that still cause the games to be 3+ hours, yet they will still try to find a way to shorten the games even more by finding ways to reduce plays

Surely to God if this trend continues (and it will) enough people will voice their displeasure and this first down rule will change back. Absolute $tupidity.

There have to be other rule changes right? On a first down, the clock only stopped for 5 or so seconds while the chains reset, that can't have so drastic an effect on number of plays right?

ESPN app doesn’t even have vandy-Hawaii listed

Edit: it was listed. I am embarrassed to say that I was looking for vandy in the top 25 section. What was I thinking?

To be fair, the Hawaii QB had to run to the sideline after every play to get the next call from their coach. They consumed the complete play clock on every single play.

That said though, I agree with you that the rule change is stoopid and just gave them opportunity for more commercials and didn't reduce the overall game length. Just the number of plays.

I’m tempted to just leave it

 

[knoxvol52]

Things you blame for your team losing 1. The officials. 2. Gary Danielson licking Sabans boots 3. Just added if the damn clock didn't run all the time we we could have come back.....

First time it thwarts a comeback attempt by Bama or UGA, you’ll hear it’s death knell. I expect Heupel to benefit from it. We score our points early…less time to run off.

I agree it should benefit us more than hurts us, just gotta keep starting fast. Less time and possessions for the opponent to catch up. Just hate that it takes real-time away from the actual sport we only get 13-14 weekends out of the year.

Heupel usually had timeouts to spare at the half or end of the game…if not ALL of them. He might have to use one to add to a lead. Other coaches, like the geezer in red, like to utilize them to calm down after a ref dares call it the wrong way or other psychological crap, might need one they no longer have.

My boy is ready for football season too.

Dang. And all along, I thought your avi was a self-portrait. Your posts are much less impressive now that I know you're not a dog.










Obviously, just kidding. Great looking dog.

Or to freeze the kicker three times in a row looks like there would be better use for timeouts besides that crap...

No it won’t. The higher up will say this is what they wanted - less plays and less harm to the players. All on the name of safety. Not time or money

Does that come with a piece of ocean front property?

Walked into the living room this morning, and the boys were up watching TV. Looks like they’re ready.

The only thing this clock issue could screw up is the 1st quarter boyz
