You wanna go faster? Raise your hands if you want college football to go faster

Welcome aboard 40-second play clock (and a handful of other new rules).

The Himalaya is, without a doubt, the best carnival ride ever invented.

 

Once again, all these rules changes will result in the clock running more with fewer plays being run.

Terrific.

 

Nowhere in this post did you place blame on Mitch Albom, Larry Brown, Gene Hackman, George Perles, the guy who scrubs toilets in Michigan Stadium, Tom Izzo or the entire adult population of Wayne County. Frankly, I expect better out of you.

 

You'll have the same number of commercial breaks and less game time, just like the last time they did this. How does adopting an NFL rule ensure the games are still high-scoring? Last time I checked, there weren't many 48-41 games in the NFL.

 

I disagree with changing the face-mask rule. There's a big difference between a brief grab that is clearly accidental and nearly ripping the guy's head off.

Just like the last time they changed the clock rules, I say why not just make the quarters shorter if the intent is for games to have fewer plays?

 

I love college football, I want it to go longer... What will I watch when it is over?

 

It's not like they ever call horse collar tackles anyway.

 

Starting the clock after the runner goes out of bounds is a stupid idea. Once again TV, which is the reason college games take three fucking hours, is asking the NCAA to fix the problem they caused by taking plays out of the game.

 

No more sideline warnings? Good thing Lloyd Carr retired; he's the last of a long line of Michigan coaches who crowded the field.
