[Husker] Thoughts

[Bob Beach]

     This has been interesting.  Typically if the Huskers play a Saturday afternoon game this list just rocks on Saturday night and Sunday morning following.  There were just a handful of posts this time and virtually none this morning.  I realize it is a Holiday weekend but man the posts are really down.  


     One thing I did notice yesterday is the length of games.  When a college game lasts 3 1/2 hours it is getting a little draggy.  That is longer than a typical nine inning baseball game.  And people say baseball drags?  The Mets and the Braves played a game yesterday in 2:29, the Cubs/Astros game was 2:28, the Royals/Twins played in 2:44, the Brewers/Pirates played in 2:52, and etc.  Reviewing challenged plays really slows things down.  I have often thought after an incomplete pass the clock could start when the official marks the ball ready for play and not when the ball is snapped.  The same thing when a play goes out of bounds.  I don't know what the answer is but the game have to speed up some way.
