Someone beats the almighty SEC and they want a rule change.  BOO-HOOOO!

Oh yeah. Forgot.  BOOOOOOOOOOOOMER!

I'm in agreement on the Boo-Hoooing.  The numbers will speak for themselves from what the article reads.  Nick and the 2 dozen coaches will get shot down.  It would probably come across better from Nick if he didn't speak up on these after a huge loss, it comes off bitter.  Fads come and go in sport, right now speed between plays is huge.  It'll come around, people will find a way to beat it, no need to rewrite rules.

I know what a joke right.

I never understood why people get so caught up in sports the way they do. I played up till I blew my knee out my senior year and I don't know if I have ever watched more than a couple minutes of a game

I like Colin Cowherd's take on this. Basically, (to Saban) put your 330 pound linemen on a diet, get them down to 309 and they'll be able to keep up better. Said this is exactly what  Oregon did under Chip Kelly, and now the Eagles are doing.

 

Makes sense to me!

 

Silly argument (IMHO) Saban is making.

Sooner baby! Was there at the sugar bowl. I could have swore I saw tears. 

I see his point, but its the wording that makes it laughable.

 

I never understood the stopping the clock after a fisrt down either...... probably allows more commercial breaks which = $$$

 

and thats what it all boils down to anyway.

Not gonna pass.

 

And LSU is thinking of going fast, too.

 

I guess Satan is still upset with the big, fat and slow white boys he had blocking on that field goal attempt against Awbunn.

 

And I almost forgot, the big Sugar Bowl loss.

 

Could not have happened to a nicer guy!

 

Geaux Tigers.

I take it you didn't like him when he was there?

so is Miles thinking the faster he can mismanage the clock the better?

 

sorry I had to (I actually like Miles for the record)

Man I'm a Bama fan but this is ridiculous!!! As much as I like Saban, he can be a winy b**** sometimes...jus sayin.

I was at the 06 and 07 Sugar Bowls.  Two games I want to forget.  Thank goodness for Margaritaville!

You don't slow down an offense by passing a rule, you slow down an offense with stout defense. This is just an attempt by Saban to swing the game back towards a more NFL like game, which coincidentally, his team plays very well. Maybe it's time for Saban to adjust with the game instead of trying to adjust the game to fit his style. 

"More plays is just like smoking more cigarettes"... wow is all I can say to Sab's on that one.
