Bowl Week Wishes

It’s the middle of bowl week, I am so thankful. What a fantastic week. And ‘tis the season for resolutions. Sooooo…here are some hopeful resolutions for next year’s NCAA Football season.

No more instant replay. I am sorry, but this thing is not working. So, it may be accurate to say “no more instant replay in its current form.” But that doesn’t have quite the ring to it. The system inhibits refs, making them take a second before blowing the whistle and in some cases actually being taught to not blow the whistle.

But here’s the bottom line, mistakes will be made and calls will be blown, with or without the use of cameras.

Stop the clock. Wow, how horrible and painful was this little gem? Coupled with the instant replay timeouts, the new rules of running clocks on change of possessions and kickoffs weren’t great. It frustrated us with play stoppages and confused everyone for about a month. There was nothing wrong with stopping the clock. Please change it back.

And…that’s it. I love NCAA Football. I’m I nitpicking? Probably. But it’s just out of love.

Enjoy the bowl games.

I agreed w/ you until I saw the USC-Michigan game. The checkings of replays by the officials in charge went real smooth.And in general, practically all the games went smooth. Hmmmm,you think they heard you, sir?
