That was my exact thought when I saw this. Take away kickoffs and we don't win the NCG.No way this will really go anywhere. It would change the game way too much. The threat of a KR TD would be gone. The onside kick...gone. Two things we just benefitted from tremendously in the NCG. Also taking away the onside kick would effectively kill the chance for miraculous 4th Qtr comebacks.
Lastly removing kickoffs would take away valuable playing experience from the younger guys. Most of our young emerging stars play on Special teams as Freshman. Take that away and the only playing expierence at game speed is on Offense/Defense. Players will have to wait longer to get on the field and when they do get there it will be throwing them to the wolves with no room for error.

Ha - guess we take the good with the badtake away kickoffs and we win the ole miss game
then you get the facts of lifeHa - guess we take the good with the bad
VERY TRUE, but consider this. That same player that had that glorious Kick return for the ages this January, suffered a broken arm and could have very well been lost for the season 8 weeks earlier... on a kick return. I am not in favor of A'Shawing (86ing) kick offs, but had KD not come back after that broken arm last year, I may be a little more sour on the matter.That was my exact thought when I saw this.

we could put them in those "sumo" uniforms you see between innings at baseball games.I have the perfect solution (I kid you not) on how to stop all the concussions. We need to simply slow the game down. For instance we could have each player wear weighted shoes like the basketball team practice in. Now they are running slower and collisions are less violent. Unless someone inadvertently gets kicked in the head with one of those weighted shoes. :biggrin2:
Wait. They got rid of the jump ball in basketball!?!I think there are forces out there that want to destroy the game we love so much...... PC.... professors who think competition is bad.... milk toast people who don't like the idea of a "man's sport".... the same nut jobs that did away with the jump ball in Basketball....... Let us watch this and speak out loudly against it... it would ruin our sport!!!
First thing that occurred to me also. OTOH, the main reason in basketball was that there was a dearth of officials who could do the tossup properly. There aren't really that many even in the NBA. That's not the situation with football...Wait. They got rid of the jump ball in basketball!?!
