Who/what is football scoop?

soup ... it's soup ...

Football Soup

1 Wilson NCAA Football
(you may prefer other brands)
10 red potatoes
1 red onion
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 1lb. bag of carrots
4 stalks celery
4 cups water
1 full container beef broth
1 tsp salt
pepper to taste
full bottle of whatever hot sauce suits your fancy

Poke football with butcher knife to deflate, chop in half, remove rubber bladder an be sure to get the little nipple thingy that goes through pigskin. Chop pigskin into little bits an dump in food processor, add beef broth and blend the h3ll out of it until there's only teeny little pieces left.

Clean, chop, dice, or whatever, all the rest and throw into a pot with water, spices, and hot sauce.

Cover pot and bring to boil, adding water as needed ... for at least 3 days.
Makes several bowls of football soup.
It will feed you, but just eat one bowl on game day as nutritional value is only in the veggies and broth. No one else will eat it, but it is better than boiled shoe leather, and only a little worse than Canadian Goose.

Is saben even involved in this story?
The artical talks to coaches against the rule change but is there another artical where saben is pushing the rule change?

Saban appeared before the committee to lend his support for the rule, but he's not actually on the committee.

But he's the highest profile of the coaches who are pushing it, so he's naturally going to get the most attention.

Well done.

I don't see how the pro-style offenses that run at a methodical, physical pace are any less likely to cause injuries. Football is football folks. Variations in philosophy just aren't that important.

And lets all be frank about this. This has absolutely nothing to do with player safety. This rule is being pushed because Nick Saban and Bret Bielema can't figure out how to defend Auburn and Texas A&M's offense. It is wrong to change the nature of this game just to give Nick Saban a competitive advantage over a rival.

There is something out there called the Law of Unintended Consequenses which basically states the actual outcomes are not the ones intended by a purposeful action.

The rule (as I read) states the offense can't snap the ball until the play clock reaches 29 seconds. I watched the 1st series of the Oklahoma/ Bama game and OU was snapping the ball (at their fastest) right at 29-30 seconds left on the play clock. Conversely, when UT played Oregon, Oregon was typically between 21-26 seconds remaining.

I can see a situation where more teams are ready to go at that 10 second mark because of this benchmark being set.

As things stand right now, even if a team doesn't snap the ball during the first ten seconds of the play clock, they are preventing the defense from subbing by getting "set". I think that's what Saban et al are trying to fix. I really don't think it has anything to do with trying to slow teams down because, as you point out, 11 seconds is much faster than most teams actually go.

I'm hoping this stupid proposal is simply an attempt to shock everyone with absurdity. Then cooler heads can prevail and a decent proposal, like calling false starts when they ought to be called, can be made this time next year.

I think if the refs do their jobs it shouldn't be an issue. Keep in mind, the final 2 minutes of each half (when teams tend to play the fastest) are excluded.

I agree with you the whole thing is absurd...especially the penalty being "delay of game."

Has anyone heard support from anyone other than Bert and Ernie?

Pretty sure they are the lone voices.

On a side note....Saban is the first Bama coach in history to get a raise after losing to Auburn.lol

Pretty sure Fulmer got a raise or extension after 2004 and lost to Auburn twice!

So you are saying Fulmer was a Bama coach that got a raise for losing to Au twice?..

No Einstein. I'm saying Fulmer received a raise or extension after losing to Auburn twice.

It was a joke, but you must have some sand in your vag. Relax.

Every other coach who has commented on it has been at least somewhat negative about the rule.

I mean, when Will Muschamp opposes a rule change of this nature, you know it is not at all popular. Remember, we are talking about a coach who probably wouldn't mind eliminating offenses from the game altogether. Instead, Will's ideal game would just have both teams line their defenses up against each other. The last team with a player on his feet wins the game. If THAT kind of coach doesn't support this rule, then its pretty apparent that it has major problems.

Troy Calhoun from Air Force is on the committee and is the one who actually presented it. Though he has sort of backed off lately.

Those are the only names I know, though I've heard there are a couple of other coaches who supported the proposal, but not publicly.

In other words, just Saban.

No, there are somewhere between a few to several according to an ESPN article.


Also Bielema.

Except he's just come out and made himself look like something between an idiotic and insensitive a$$ while doing so.


Edit: according to ESPN, 73% (93) are against it, 19.5% (25) were for it, 9 coaches were undecided, 1 refused to participate.
