Colts/Chargers

Sorry Ramster, I should have said what NCAA OT is like.

Trev is right on it, each team starts on the 25 and they have to either score, or lose the ball on downs or turnover. If the ball is fumbled/intercepted and the other team runs it back the other end zone the game is over. The start of the 3rd OT they MUST go for 2 after every TD.

They have had games end in a 14-14 tie in regulation to go to 60 + point games. Total drama and excitement, and this is where you find out who the better team is, who has the stamina and the will to win.

Not this sudden death crap where the other teams offense never touches the ball. This assures that BOTH teams get a fair chance to win the game and not the 58% of the teams who win a coin toss.

Having Brees and Manning throw it out for 1 or 2 or more drives would have been talked about for years. And that is what football is about, EXCITMENT.
