Enough. It was OZ musing. It's not worth this much discussion.

I think we should re-open the debate on the fair catch penalty enforcement, and whether it implies that all officials are in the bag for SJU?    :D

Ice Bear suggests a debate on the importance of time of possession or TOP as we mother****ers on the LLPP refer to it. Ice and his fellow LLPPers have deemed TOP more important than breathing, child birth, nuclear war, child labor laws, chickens, The Empire State Building, the Las Vegas Raiders, or the **** city of Troyet NY...

I think we need to co-author a position paper on the subject and submit it to the NCAA Football Rules Committee for consideration. Perhaps it could be authored like a supreme court opinion and have a majority opinion, dissent, and concurring opinions.

Oz can prepare the video illustration attachment with commentary for submission as well.

Together we can fix this travesty no-call delay of game that has occurred in college football. It's the only way to save the game.

Ice Bear says this is exactly what the reaction always is...hence the reason we make fun of the fact that many focus on TOP so much. We now use it as sarcasm...Ice may get his ass kicked for saying this but even Troylet is more important...and if you've ever been...

Ice don't let these Minnesota nerds shake your faith in TOP. All true adherents know that scoring points is heresy. You cradle that football in the warmth of your body like a daddy penguin protecting his egg through the Antarctic winter and never let it go. T-O-P! T-O-P!

I'd say it matters in some situations.  If you're trying to hold down a high scoring passing offense it definitely helps to reduce the number of possessions in the game.  You're giving your defense more chance to rest and towards the end of the halves you especially want to hold onto possession so you can leave as little time as possible for the other team.

Agreed. I could care less about TOP when the offense is able to consistently put together 4 play 60 yard drives all day in 1:48.
There is something to be said about using TOP to slow down a potent offense like SJU's passing attack the last few years. The only thing is that you have to actually score to keep up. Possessing the ball for 40+ minutes doesn't matter if you aren't converting those opportunities.

Makes me think of some of the games with the Cobbers in the early 2000s and early 2010s where SJU would score relatively quickly and then Concordia would hold the ball for 8-9 minutes with lots of 3-4 yards and a cloud of dust plays and score after long drives.

Boy, quiet week around here.  No one mentioned how the Hot Carls dumped 84 on Crown College.  They'd better watch themselves--MIAC presidents are watching.

I don't know that anyone said it here, but I did make a similar reference in the podcast. :)
