    I guess we should feel big time that the NCAA sees the FCS championship as a similar back channel profit center.

    Exactly. Its the way the game is played.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    After the first two years they have have been upping the pay to play game every year. Its just the way it is and has been going on for years with all of the other bowl games. Why do you think the old boys network has such a strangle hold on the bowl system.

    They can't hear you on the field even if you are in the 5th row. Their focus is on the field and you just zone out everything behind you. It really is bizarre. And in a noisy stadium it's all muffled anyway. Walking through the tunnel they might hear you but they aren't listening. That is definitely one nice thing about football officiating beyond the middle school or sub-varsity level. You usually don't hear the fans because you are separated from them. Other sports are a different story.

    Not at all! I'm sure it's plenty loud. I'm just telling you we are so focused during the game we rarely notice the crowd. Maybe collectively if it gets really loud or really quiet but individual voices don't stand out.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    How about when the entire dome boos so loud you can't announce the BS targeting call. Or when you announce an NDSU timeout as South Dakota State and SDSU isn't even in the building?
