Oh yeah... totally don't remember what the line was either, sorry Gov. I do have the picture from when you managed to get your hero's autograph though, if that's any consolation.

I had a great line for you to use that I told Craig after the game. Thanks to the magic of alcohol, I don't remember said line

While I don't like the idea of starting a team on the 35 yard line in overtime, it does provide the coaches with the attractive option of trying to punt for the win on first down...

I prefer the CFL style where both teams are on even footing in OT to the NFL style where a huge advantage is awarded based on a coin toss.

I hate the idea of awarding a point for an O/T loss even in hockey. A loss is a loss even if it took you longer to fail.

I agree with Brent about starting further back. I like the mini-games but I don't like how teams are placed in instead FG range, they should have to at least accomplish somthing to be able to score points.

All in all the CFL O/T may not be perfect but I prfer it over the NFL style. And besides even in the NFL, ties are still a possibility (though not according to Donovan McNabb).

They used to award the point for the loss. I think it's crap and I'm glad it's gone. Win for two, lose and get none, period.

As far as overtime goes, they should, at the very least, start them from the 45. Having instant field position is boring. Mind you, I think the shootout isn't really football anyhow. Have 2 five minute halves to determine a winner, and just don't make it sudden death like they do in the NFL.

After such an amazing game, I'm curious as to your views of ties in the CFL? I'm not considering NFL style OT, but maybe the league should consider playing till there's a winner and/or have the NHL style 1 point for losing OT. I understand the physical fatigue but maybe bump it up to 3 or 4 mini-games.

This game just got me thinking and wanted to see what people and the prophet think.
