The New Rule Changes are Working Out Great
You have to hand it to the masterminds at the NCAA. You want to get the fans and media off your back about the BCS because there is way too much money involved, so what do you do??? You make some ridiculous rule changes. I think we are all aware of the new rules so here are the problems with them: In an effort to shorten the length of the games, the clock now runs almost continuously. The only problem is that the games are only about 10 minutes shorter, but the number of plays per team is what is really shortened. If they wanted to speed up the games, why not do the obvious...cut commercials. But that means losing money. Starting the clock after first downs is ok, but the time is really ticking off after change of possessions.
The Georgia Bulldogs have a good team this year.
Having a coaches' challenge makes as much sense as the tax code. If every play is being reviewed by the official, why is there a need for a coach to waste a timeout to ask for a review. If it is a bad call then review it, don't wait for the coach to ask. By changing the clock rules, timeouts are now more precious than ever and you want to ask the coach to give up one? Doesn't make much sense to me.
Colorado scored three points on "defense is optional" ASU. Georgia allows 3 points per game. The only way the buffs will score is if the hairy dawgs take a safety.
Speaking of the review system, why do we have one if its not going to work? The fastest way to speed up the games is to get rid of this nuisance. If you think it's bad watching the official review on TV, it's even worse when you at the game. Most of the plays reviewed come after an exciting play or a momentum changing play, and by the time the official runs across the field, stands there for 5 minutes, and attempts to explain the result, all the energy is sucked out of the stadium. I know they are just trying to make the right calls, but my suggestion is to just cut your losses and let the onfield officials do their jobs. Sure, there are bad calls in every game, but they have a way of working out. For instance, if we didn't have replay last year in the Rose Bowl Michael Griffin would not have been credited for his great interception, but Texas was helped on VY's pitch when his knee was down.
Mark Richt is one of the most underrated coaches in America. He will win a national championship with Matthew Stafford.
Hopefully the big wigs will find a way to keep games at a reasonable time, but not punish the fans with less football.

Ahhh...All is right in the world.
I think OU was robbed, dead robbed. I bet this wouldn't happen with UT. It was probably UT boosters who lined the pockets of the refs. That's how they won their championship last year anyway. Boomer Sooner!
Great points Matt. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, good call on Georgia....hmm.
I would also like to take credit for the above Georgia stab.

Yeah, great call on Georgia Matt!
I loved the Army vs. Fake Army game plug. I also apologize for my late comments since I go days without doing anything other than reading textbooks. I will also seek to idntify myself as Ech. What is the deal with so many Aarons??
