LabattBlue Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 One always stands out to me every Saturday in the fall.... Being considered down in college football when a player with possession of the ball goes to the ground without a defensive player making contact. I don't even think there is a close second. All you old fogies on the NCAA rules committee need to loosen up a little bit, step out of the 1930's and stop talking about the good ole' days!

ajzepp Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I've always been annoyed at how fouling is an actual strategy in basketball.....I get tired of watching teams taking turns shooting foul shots. Ruins the whole flow of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I'm taking the opposing view on both of these. The college rule is there to prevent guys from being hit when they are down. After all these guys aren't pro's and if it save a couple of kids from injury, it should stay. On the intentional walk, there are a lot of pitchers who cannot throw a strike after throwing 4 pitches out like that not counting the fact that they could throw a wild pitch. If they aren't skilled enough to do that, why should it be made easy for them. In fact there a pitchers who compensate for this lack of ability by throwing the next pitch rather fat. So keep the rule, make em throw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4everBills Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 With out a DOUBT, pass interference! Let them fight for the damn ball! Fine, a CB is literally riding the WR like a horse. Does that deserve a spot of the foul penalty? So, the QB can see a WR getting mugged, simply throw the ball at his feet and get a 50 yard penalty resulting in a HUGE gain? B.S.!!!!! First of all, why does ANY football player deserve to go down field un freakin touched? This IS a contact sport! Secondly, What gaurantees that the WR will actually CATCH the ball anyways? They drop all KINDS of balls! Thirdly, Who says the pass is on target? QB's throw off target all the time. Finally, penalize a standard yardage for each infraction. Why is a 50 yard pass interference worth more than a 2 yard pass interference? Whats to say the 2 yards throw wouldnt be caught and run for 50 yards? Holding penalties count a straight amoutn whether it would have resulted in a loss of yards on the run or a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 2 line pass in hockey. Want to eliminate the neutral zone trap? Get rid of the red line. I'd say the offsides rule in soccer, but soccer would still suck if they eliminated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
