Wait, the Arkansas/Kansas bowl game was decided on penalty kicks?

[DJ Spanky]

Er, sorry, 2 point conversions?

God that's awful!

Been a rule for two years now. When LSU Texas A&M went to like 475 OTs and ended at 2 am.

Where’ve you been?

 

[DJ Spanky]

I didn't realize they were doing this in bowl games. Thought it was just regular season. What an awful way to end a game.

Same thought during the game.
For all the complaing and ridicule everyone had for soccer, our love CFB is just as bad.

It just hasn't come up in a championship game yet.

At least soccer plays a full OT period first.
CFB goes right to the weird "start at 25 yard line".

 

[Yeah Baby]

NFL has a better option but games can end in a tie. Not a problem unless it’s a championship game.

This particular game should in no way have gone to OT if anyone watched. Horrible clock management by Arkansas and the Defense and Hands team looked like they wanted OT up by 15. Offense was exciting but yikes.

 

[dconifer]

A tie would be better. Neither team "won," gimmick or no gimmick.

I hate this silly "ties are bad" nonsense...

 

[MulletCork]

I had no idea this was the case but did appreciate it for my Kansas +3 wager.

 

[ru66]

Yeah sacrifice a young guys health to play more quarters of football. This ain't soccer.

 

[G- RUnit]

I actually never had problems with a tie. It was fun.
