Yeah that's what my son said before he quit. I said you love hitting, fielding, running the bases, and throwing. What's the problem? Dad I hate waiting to hit, waiting to field, waiting to run and waiting to throw. He's right on an individual level but the game is actually going on a lot longer than that just not for each individual player. In football it's like that for everyone. Check this out: http://online.wsj.com/public/resourc...NFL-Games.html
BTW if you pay attention to that chart you'll notice CBS shows Cheerleaders the most. Just in case any of you were wondering. LOL.
I was googling times of games and just found this which is where that chart I posted above came from: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...055561406.html
I knew from experience '13 would throw Oregon out there. He also loves him some Oklahoma too. Those teams (and the most of the others on the list) have decent defenses because they have their pick of muti star athletes. They still can't come close to winning a NC.
I was thinking more Houston, Texas Tech, OSU, etc.. BTW, most of those have multi star talent too.
Let's not mix the Sunbelt teams in until they start competing on a national level.
Of course I would bring them up. You said name a High Octane Offense with a good defense. Isn't Oregon exactly that?? Not letting me use them as an example is like saying name an NFL team with a Fleur De Lis on their helmet but you can't pick the Saints. I Hate OU and never bring them up. I wanted no part of their OC's for our HC position. You must be mixing me up with someone else. Have no idea where that came from. Oregon lost the National Championship to Auburn on a last second field goal. (00:00 on the clock) Is zero seconds on the clock close to winning a national championship????? And Oregon should have played for the NC last year. (they would have destroyed ND) A&M ran a no huddle and beat the national champions in their own house and was playing the best football of anyone in the country at the end of last year. The teams you mentioned (Houston, Texas Tech Etc...) Likely will never win an NC no matter what offense they run so what's your point. Texas Tech has never been close to being relevant until they ran Leach's offense and haven't been relevant since he left.
But doesn't A&M's performance against Bama, OU and the SEC last year and Oregon's entire season totally contradict that theory?? Especially considering that while it's true A&M recruits well they have been incredibly outrecruited by Bama the last 7 years at least?? I haven't looked it up but I am fairly certain they have been out recruited by OU as well. I mean how are you #8 in the nation in defensive efficiency while running one of the fastest paced offenses in history? Or #20 playing in the SEC like A&M?
But let's PRETEND you are correct. Does our offense make you last in the nation?? Keep this in context. Remember the point of this discussion. Our offense wasn't the reason this defense was last in the nation. We didn't need the defense to perform at anywhere close to the level Oregon and A&M did. We needed them to be between poor and mediocre. Anything but dead last or very close to it. If we had the 75th worst defense we'd likely have been in the Orange Bowl.
