re: HUNH Rule change

[quote]That's a 10 sec delay. You're telling a HUNH offense to wait even though they're ready to snap the ball. [/quote] Yep. Waiting on the refs to do their job the right way is an inherent part of every sport. 10 seconds is still pretty quick. It just takes out the possibility of it being qu...

[quote]I don't support the refs delaying the game by 10 seconds on every play. When a play is finished the ref should spot the ball as quickly as possible so the offense can run whatever style of offense they wish. If the defense doesn't like it they can stop play with one of their three tim...

[quote]The offense. They have the ball they should set the pace. Some teams like a fast pace, some prefer a slow pace. It's strategery. [/quote] The defense has every bit the opportunity to snap the football before it is set for play as the offense does - which is 0 chance. The time between a ta...

This player safety angle really was the wrong way to go about this. Getting the rule adopted really is a simple argument. HUNH bread and butter is speeding up the pace of the game between tackle and the point when the ball is placed in play. It is NOT the actual speed in which they do snap ...

re: has CFB crested?

No. Attendance is not the only indicator. TV networks would not be locking in to multi-billion dollar contracts if CFB is on a decline. Vandy/OM is a poor indicator. Nashville never has given a damn about Vandy football. Bama will sell all their tickets. UT, like nearly all down programs, ...

re: Ole Miss vs. Wisconsin thoughts?

OM is playing well at the right time. They have a legit shot to make noise in this tournament. Physical post play and a guard that can take over a game. That's a good recipe for NCAAT success. ...

[quote]I can be an Objectivist pursuing my own self-interest and happiness and be running a home for abused women or orphaned children, can I not? Or do YOU think there is a finite way to define happiness or self-interest. Happiness has endless manifestations in Rand's philosophy as long as they're...

Ayn Rand had it so figured out that she ended up a wretched woman who died alone. That's what happen when you spend your life rationalizing a system that is designed to increase your own happiness and treats empathy and compassion as immoral. You end up a selfish miserable hag that nobody wanted to...
