In reference to that rule- the SEC's supervisor of officials, Rogers Redding, said the coaches thought a lot of time was being wasted getting the guys in position to kick the ball. It is intended to speed up that process. As far as what you're asking, coming out of a television timeout, the play clock for the first play of a possession will be 15 seconds instead of the normal 25. Also, charged team timeouts — not TV timeouts — will be cut by 30 seconds. This will be football's version of basketball's 30-second timeout. It will allow a coach to stop the clock but without a long delay. The timeout will last 30 seconds plus the 25 seconds on the play clock.
...gross. I had no idea "plethora" had a rather disturbing alternate definition (in addition to meaning a 'chit load' as khounba so eloquently put it)... "a bodily condition characterized by an excess of blood and marked by turgescence and a florid complexion" "I learned something new today. I always thought that dogs laid eggs" -Peter Griffin
Not sure what you're asking but the option for a full timeout exists as long as timeouts remain........they'll just be 30 seconds in length- if I understood what I'd read correctly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
:lol: Great word!!. every now and then it'll come up with me and my buddies and we'll giggle a little.:lol: This def. will make things interesting. im interested in seeing how this will work out. but i'm not sure i like it. basically i dont like all the changes starting to be made latley all together
I'm disappointed. I thought for sure one of you wise azzes would have responded with Jefe's quote from the movie.
Jefe: We have many beautiful pinatas for your birthday celebration, each one filled with little surprises! El Guapo: How many pinatas? Jefe: Many pinatas, many! El Guapo: Jefe, would you say I have a plethora of pinatas? Jefe: A what? El Guapo: A *plethora*. Jefe: Oh yes, El Guapo. You have a plethora. El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora? Jefe: Why, El Guapo? El Guapo: Well, you just told me that I had a plethora, and I would just like to know if you know what it means to have a plethora. I would not like to think that someone would tell someone else he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora. Jefe: El Guapo, I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education, but could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
You said it was football's version of basketball's 30 second timeout. Basketball has both 60\75 second timeouts and 30 second timeouts. So I figured they would get the choice between the regular timeout and the 30 second timeout similar to basketball.
