Follow the money ! I firmly believe the new clock rules are being driven by the networks and their need to get more ads on the air in a restricted time period.

[shakes head]
Orson, your criticisms of �The 2008 Longer Games with More Plays Act� just shows your pre-9/11 mentality. It’s a shame you hate America.

Best LOL Comment on that Clemson link:
“So, did Cumbies parents pick him up in an Escalade?”

After that performance, I am sure Bama will be getting upgrades to the BMW’s and Mercedes of the mid 90’s….

Deacon Jones could still beat your ass with both hands tied behind his back. Hell, we’ll give you a tire iron. It will only make him angrier.

Last Dragon –

None other than Deacon Jones used ballet for fitness in the days before nautilus machines and training facilities that are palaces. He would dispute the homo tag you claim it to be.

In sum, close games = MOAR FOOTBALLS. Blowouts = NO THEY BE STEALING MY FOOTBALLS.

I may be in the minority, but I like the new clock rules. I know we lost a few plays but I always thought it was too easy to make a comeback in college football. It’s not like the abomination changes they made in 2006, it’s reasonable. And the clock still stops briefly after a first down and the old rules are still in effect for the last 2 minutes.

I know everyone likes football but the 4-hour games were too much. The big difference, obviously, is television. If UConn is not on TV or on locally, the game always flew by. But if it’s on ABC or ESPN, it takes an eternity no matter the rules.

meatybob @ 17:
The issue with this sample size is cupcakes. Many teams brought in I-AA teams to beat up on, and teams like Florida and SC scheduled lesser talent, from conferences such as the WAC and the ACC. Once conference play starts in earnest, the chumps start playing each other competitively and the games will get longer, because the top teams are having to throw passes and call timeouts in the 4th quarter.

Spinning is pretty much biking, right? Nothing wrong with that.

Sculpting, however, sounds just a li’l bit homo.

On the gridiron, there are ass beatings and then there are demoralizing, emasculating, mind-fucking donkey punches. It appears after reading some of what has transpired over at Clemson since Saturday, they received the latter.

I think you have to account for a regional bias as far as the spin thing goes. Having done classes in Atlanta and now here in Denver, the classes make up are quite different. Here they are a. more crowded (in the winter anyway) and b. significantly male dominated. That really makes my only motivation to go to class to get in… shape? /mentally reevaluates life goals and purpose…
