It's ok when they change ALL the rules to benefit the offenses but if they tried to make some changes in this area to equalize it for the defenses all you fans of fast paced offenses would cry and cry and cry!And like Tony said earlier, since they haven't done a damn thing to allow defenses to substitute fairly then I don't give a crap if they do this all day long! Don't give me that if you hurry you can substitute shit either. What the fuck is it worth great recruiting and depth or coaching defensive schemes if you don't have time to use them? The NFL flat out said we aint doing shit to compensate Chip Kelley's offense. He will run his offense according to how we officiate and that is how it should be in college too. You watch the refs running like crazy to get the ball set. That's BS! It should take an amount of time where a defense can substitute but be timely. You same people acting like this is ridiculous would be whining louder than a bomb!
The same people have also said we have to do this because if not we couldn't compete. That in itself should tell you something!
Do we really need this exact same thread I did before the season started?
Would you like that?
They also do not go slower to allow the D to sub. They do what they are going to do. I still do not see what is wrong with the ref having the ball ready when the ones that are in charge of snapping the ball are ready.
You're right, faking injuries is not "man up" football but running fast paced hurry up offense to avoid the other teams best is being a pussy! My 11 vs your 11? Why the hell don't we just limit teams to about 25 players to cover "your 11 vs my 11" We'll keep a few more just in case injuries (faked or real)!
Awfully dramatic. You must be a teenage girl!! If I put my best 11 defenders on the field and the offense has their best 11 isn't avoiding the defenses best 11. Just because you think that not being able to specialize isn't real football doesn't make it so. Whatever happened to players who are versatile and can play the run AND the pass instead of having to be subbed for every time a situation comes up that wasn't their "specialty"!!
You say this shit about disadvantages in recruiting. What disadvantages? They don't have the same right to go out and get the same players? Don't give me some traditional powerhouse shit either. They either can or can't! That's less man up than any of the shit you're talking!
Wow, just when I think you've embarrassed yourself as much as possible, you post something like this. You know as well as I do that schools like 'Bama and USC get kids that schools like Oregon, Vandy, Ole Miss, Washington St. can't even get in their living rooms. 'Bama, USC and the like get those kids almost every time and the others schools don't even get a look.
It makes me laugh how you use words like dumbest and most hypotcritical and they have no meaning it what I said! Absolutely none!
Just because you don't understand the hypocrisy of your statement, doesn't mean it isn't hypocritical!!
This issue comes down to two things and two things only. You think offenses should control the game to any degree they want and the NHHU is fine and I think defenses should be allowed to substitute and bring the coaching back into the game along with ALL the players. A team sure as hell has more than 11 players on it. Maybe we can turn the high school elite 11 in Oregon into our National Championship game. It can be like a camp with the best 11 playing the other best 11 for the BCS NC!
The offense has always controlled the tempo of the game, it's how the game has been played. And the defense is allowed to substitute. By rule, they can substitute whenever the offense does. They also can substitute quickly if they want while the offense is getting set. In USC's game vs. Hawai'i, they ran some no huddle and I saw us still managing to substitute 3 or 4 players at a time. It just had to be organized and quick. Granted, Hawai'i didn't use it as much or run the plays quite as quickly as Oregon, but it shows it can be done if you have a plan.
And for the record all these posts about in shape and out of shape has nothing to do with why I think it's wrong and not as good for the game! And those same people that say a defense can substitute quickly must not know what a participation penalty is because it would happen everytime! Lets turn it into Candian football. It looks more like it this way. If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck an Oregon fan must not be far behind!
to your entire post not just the above.
I am posting under the influence of Blackberry Moonshine!! So, it's not my fault!!
Go man go!!!
