Every thread is moping and Manny and Blake. Let me change the discussion a bit.
Is it me, or has the kickoff in CFB (and NFL) become awful? Kickers are so good nowadays that touchbacks have become a formality like an extra point. The kickoff return was a fun part of the game that has been legislated out. It's now boring.
I'd like to see the kicking team have an option of kicking from the 30 or 35. A touchback from the 35 results in the opposing team getting the ball at the 30. A touchback from the 30 . . . offense starts at the 20.
And, it's really bad live. At least if you're viewing from home it's a snack or bathroom break. Live? The entire segment following a TD is tedious. Between TV timeouts, extra point, all the different special teams units trotting out there, it's become really boring down time.
What do you all think?
