A long-overdue rules change in NCAA football this fall should (hopefully) put an end to four-, five- and six-overtime football games starting in the fall. From USA Today (LINK):
The so-called two-point shootout, in which teams alternate running two-point plays until a winner is determined, will now begin in the third overtime session instead of the fifth. The first two overtime periods will continue to consist of drives starting at the opponent’s 25-yard line, but now a two-point try must be attempted after a touchdown in the second overtime.
This is from the same story:
(P)oints of emphasis this season will focus on taunting, enforcement of player uniform rules and automatically penalizing coaches for unsportsmanlike conduct for entering the field or leaving the team area to debate an official’s call.
Green Alert Take: I'll believe it when I see it about "enforcement of player uniform rules." All we heard about a couple of years ago was that players would be required to wear knee pads and yet they were almost non-existent. Kind of hard to wear knee pads when your football pants don't even reach your knees, right?
It was last spring when we had a "solar tracker" installed here on our Vermont hillside where, per a survey by the company that we worked with, we receive about 90 percent of available sunshine. That's pretty close to as good as it gets in Northern New England.
Gotta love it when you get an electric bill like this one that arrived today, reporting that we generated a lot more kWh than we used. (The $16 is an unavoidable monthly fee.)
