College OT is stupid.

But not as stupid as NHL and pro soccer shootouts.

Not as stupid as the NFL either. A game should not be able to end in a tie so the NFL OT is just as bad as soccer.

The Eagles took a playoff spot and ultimately made it to the NFC championship game because they had a tie instead of a loss.

Great win. And I love to see MIke Francessa with egg on his face

Fatcessa said PSU wouldn't be competitive at all for at least 5 years... wrong again fatso

Interesting point the article makes is that, though Redd didn't realize it at the time, and you can't blame him for leaving PSU, he went to a program with a coach (Kiffin) who was incapable of preparing him for NFL football and left a program with a coach (O'Brien) eminently capable of preparing Redd for the NFL.

That doesnt take away from the fact that its a bad rule and needs to be changed

Why is it a bad rule? Defend yourself or shut up.

Its a bad rule because games should not end in ties. Sports should have 1 winner and 1 loser. Soccer sucks for several reasons, the two biggest reasons are minimal to no scoring, and games that end in ties.
