RE: College football season over: My long-shot bet almost paid off

I have seen miracles happen in other sports after the hooter, but if I am not mistaken in tis sport the game ends when that happens. In rugby as long as the ball is kept alive you can play for as long as you have no errors and a team won the final of a local competition a few years back in the 7th minute of over time.

Sort:  

The clock is something that is stuck to very religiously in American football. Some people hate the way that it becomes a game of time-chess in the 4th quarter but for me I grew up accepting it. The idea of extra time decided by a lone official the way that it is in football is very foreign to most Americans.

I just wish there was far less commercials during the games... it really ruins the experience.

I do think the stadium clock should stop in all sports for injuries and time wasting tactics winding down the clock. Rugby introduced this a few years back and it works and football is a prime example of where it would help improve the game.
