Here's another picture.

How did that get the go ahead in the first place?

Not even considering safety, how would the rules acount for this? What if a receiver plants both feet in bounds and catches a ball falling out of the back of the endzone, but hits the wall before he makes the catch? It isn't a catch, right? So the setup of the field is ****ing with the way the game is played.

Exactly. Just like how foul territory is still part of the game in baseball, so too is the area out of bounds in football.

So, is this Big Ten football, or street football where the defense walks to receive the kick after the other team scores?

It should also be played 3-on-3 with a half-field. And you have to check the football to the other team before each play.

There was a huge debate on the number of mississippis you had to count before rushing the quarterback.
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

but you'd still get one blitz per possession, right? And since NW lost their QB to an injury last week, are they instituting the all-time QB rule?

No there wasn't. It was 3. Unless you're some sort of commie.

And two completions for a first down.

Only if you announce "BLITZ" at the top of you lungs.
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

I get the idea of playing there, think it's a cool idea.

I was just saying, I could understand how one could look at a gap of 5 feet between the wall and the endzone and think, "Not ideal, but they can cope with it." I wouldn't agree, but I can see people thinking that. But when I see the picture posted above, with around a foot of space, I honestly can't believe the designers even thought that that would fly.

I love that Indiana basically selling a home game to Penn State doesn't even qualify as the worst venue decision in the Big Ten this week.

Not sure if we will make this game this year during our annual Thanksgiving trip to AR given family gatherings and the required drive to Little Rock. If we can't watching it at the Fayetteville Hooters would not suck.

So, do the ESPN Friday night guys just rent an apartment in Idaho for a month?
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

Am I to correctly understand that ESPN was aghast that Boise was "only" up 20-0 at halftime, but then the same bunch wondered, at 37-0, if Boise was throwing into the endzone to try to get "style points"? It's gotta be one way or the other here, people.

It's ESPN's Ocho team doing these games. The only ones more screwed are the ones getting stuck doing Wednesday night MAC games on ESPNU. I don't expect well, anything, out of Rod Gilmore.

The Bears used to play there.

Field faced a different direction then. Don't know if they added seats to the left field or what.

The bleachers haven't moved in, but the seats near home plate have moved out - they've added a few rows since the 1970's.

Also, if you notice in the old picture, part of the Southeast corner of the endzone was cut-off by the dugout. So it wasn't exactly ideal back then, either.
