Potential 2007 rule changes

I agree mostly with hammb. I like football and don't mind watching one game take 4hrs. Football is such a short season anyway, so don't take away from the time of the games. The old college clock rules are the best rules around. Although the new clock rules were ok in some sense. I didn't mind the part about the clock starting on the play clock whistle on the change of possesion. In basketaball they don't stop the clock when other team takes the ball away, in bounds, so why do it in football? I also wouldnt mind shorter timeouts or maybe like in basketball were you get some full length but mostly 30 second ones. It really makes a difference in the close games at the end I guess, but other than that I don't think the rules affected the games that much.

Nope and hopefully longer than 4hrs because it was a great game to watch except for the last few seconds.

There isn't a Saturday that I didn't get up at 9am to watch an hour of SportsCenter with live updates from the Gameday Crew. Followed by watching 2 hours of College Gameday. Followed by 14 more straight hours of watching all the games that I can pick up on my Direct TV sportspack, plus ESPN Game Plan package I ordered and I would at the very least stay awake until halftime of the Hawaii game every week.
