how should we handle 70 minute games?

70 mins3:33 PM

scores might get outrageous. a team might break 100 !!!

visitor06:22 AM

No we should have just added 5 minutes a half with option of overtime. I hope the lights don`t go out in these long games. I hope the refs can last for 70 minutes too.

duh07:29 AM

isn`t adding 5 minutes a half adding 10 minutes to the game?

Yea but08:47 AM

10 minutes have been added per half, duh.

More football equals more fun.

Clarification11:53 AM

Our coach went to the meeting they are adding 5 minutes to each half not 10 that`s why its 70 minutes not 60.

Um3:07 PM

Weren`t games 25 minute halves before?

DONT WORRY3:30 PM

REFS WILL STILL FIND A WAY TO SPEED UP YHE CLOCK

visitor6:52 PM

GAME TIME6:03 PM

johnny9:06 PM

Just played our game and the halves were 25 mins long. The game went by just as quick.

What`s the DEal10:49 PM

So are games going to be 70 minutes long, doesn`t seem that way from some of the players i`ve spoken with.

player10:52 PM

seemed longer to me, not by alot. or maybe it`s was because we were getting are butts kicked so seemed long from that...lol

so5:22 PM

we are getting f`ed again?

genius7:09 PM

I think you guys are misunderstanding the "70 minute game" idea. The actual game clock isn`t 70 minutes, 70 minutes is the slot given to each team for each game. Just like last year games were given a 60 minute slot, but the actual game clock was 40 minutes (2 - 20 minute halves).

chuck11:46 PM

Still didn`t matter, the lights went out with 7 minutes to go.

coach2:50 PM

Why is it when I get out of my car at 9 to play at 9:10 when I get back in the car after the game it is 9:50. Talk about speeding up the clock.

re: Coach3:14 PM

sounds like you should send the complaint to the league so that we don`t have that anymore.

whatever3:40 PM

To coach, you must have a broken clock or something. i can see maybe your game not being as long as it should be, but there is no way they shorted you 30 mins..we played at 9:10 last night and when i was walking off the field it was around 10:15 or 10:20...fix your clock...haha

O&A3:51 PM

Damn! He just up and called you out.

coach3:52 PM

I will have to get the clock fixed in my chevy nova. But the halves have been way to short in the past. We use to only have 2 posessions per half at greenbrier.

I remember several times being backin my car at Wakefield in under one hour. TH en I would find the ref in the b room looking under the stalls!
