Can you imagine how the college OT solution completely screws up stats and data?  Nobody scored 72 or 74 points in that game.

After all the soccer shoot-out nonsense, the scored should have been recorded as 32-31, to preserve the reality of the contest.

I hate college OT.
No different then baseball or basketball except the playing structure is much different then regular play
maybe for that reason stats in football overtime should be in their own category
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

That's a huge difference.  Baseball OT is just to play more baseball.  Same with basketball.

College football OT was thought up by some commie to satisfy TV networks and untraditional fans.

If football were truly played that way then Mike Leach would be working on his 20th NC.  It's a different game.  The big boys on defense are gassed.  Offense has a distinct advantage.

Give 'em one time-out and play a 5th quarter.  And kiss your sister if it comes down to it.

Commies.

The tie is a part of sports that was removed by consumers who never played sports.

I really dont care why it was removed

Those fans don't deserve football.  They deserve rock, paper, scissors.  5 seconds.  Got a winner.  Instant gratification.

Not only MIGHT the answer look like that, I find it highly likely the winning answer will look like that. :)
That’s a fine half assed answer if I ever saw one.  Give this man half a cookie

Commies.
I agree with you about ties, but ...
Commies?  Sometimes you're really smart BC, and other times you're dumb as a stump.
Oligarchs.  That's who run this country.  Right left or center, commies or fascists, libertarians or liberals, conservatives or conservationists ... none of those distracting labels really matter.  Although true enough that the oligarchs who run this place are effective in using those labels to distract us, kind of like the way you can use a little laser light to distract a cat, or a bone to occupy a dog.
Oligarchs.  It's just the folks who have the dough who call the shots, dude.  Money talks, bullshit walks, and all the rest.

Oh, and there's no such thing as baseball OT.  That's because "time" (one half of the term "over time") doesn't exist as a controlling factor in baseball.  Basketball, yes.  Baseball, no.

I don’t know anything about that sitcom so your insult is just so much chatter 320

Try again.

Meanwhile if you don’t appreciate the timeless quality of baseball, it’s your loss not mine

Oh and btw, Texas sucks

This week's question -

In the Big 12 Championship game, (1) who will be the leading receiver, (2) how many receiving yards will they have, and (3) how many receiving TDs will they score?

I'm looking for three pieces of data that will be scored in 1 to 3 sequence.  If you get 2 and 3 right but miss #1, it won't matter because #1 will have eliminated you.  

Winning answers might look like this:

Lil'Jordan Humphries, 140, 2



Lil'Jordan Humphrey, 100, 2
