Shit in a shoebox- the Iron Bowl would last until St. Patty's Day...

If it were up to me, they would extend the quarters to 20 minutes and no more than games involving ranked (or SEC) teams could be played at once. We could start games at 11am eastern and stretch them until 1am eastern, or later if needed. No offense to the boys at KissingSuzyKolber.com, but personally I wouldn't mind it if we stretched games into Sunday afternoon!!!

I don't know anyone that has ever complained about games lasting too long. I know a shitload of people that complain about too many commercials. How about we limit the number of commercials per quarter? That will speed up the game. I watched a local HS football game on one of the Time Warner On-Demand channels and they had only 1 or 2 commercial breaks per quarter. It was great.

Sounds like good news. Like I said yesterday, any game shortening achieved by the OB clock change would be applied to commercials at the 2 minute warning, which would be just plain theft from CFB fans. Great work Orson!
