What if they want to kick on 2nd down or 3rd down? What if they kick is to win the game and the snapper has a legal eligible number?

The most accepted rules change in this issue is to go to the NCAA and/or NFL Language which limits a numbering exception to obvious kicking downs or plays. Doing that alone would eliminate what we know of the A-11 all together.

Then add the holder-related exception on other downs.

OK, then what if the Left Tackle has been on the Field Goal Unit all season long and you need to kick a FG to win a playoff game, you want to require a player to be in that position that has not played there all year round?

I think the college rule would work perfectly. No reason to make more exceptions to a rule that only needs changing so you make it illegal to take advantage of a loophole found by a team or coach.

You wouldn't think that if A-11 had happened to emerge in a game played by NCAA rules. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

So, there could be life on Mars afterall. I knew it!

Then feel free to move along. Those of us who've been following the thread out of sheer morbid curiosity have seen it pointed out to you, on several occasions, that none of us are open to any of your interpersonal communication tutoring. Besides, you said it best in an earlier post. If we weren't fortunate enough to acquire the requisite communication skills from our parents, there's probably very little you can do now in the way of influence.

Without a doubt, the funniest (and most revealing) thing you've said to date. What a bummer it must be. You started out "well above" all of the insults and unprofessional behavior. Now look at ya'. Your swimming in the sewer with the rest of us turds. In the future, be a little more careful with whom you choose to spend time with.

And the best part about it is, you attempted to justify your altered behavior by using a "flow of traffic" analogy. I've got to say, I absolutely laughed until I cried when I read that.

I'm not even going to touch this one. But let me say this from a person who, until today, considered himself a disinterested third party to all this crap. Absolutely juvenile. I'm sorry, who's the professional? JR may jump in your face a little with some of his responses, but I've never seen him respond like a drunken frat boy.

You've blathered on about people who shout and insult in an attempt to force their opinions on others. Over the years, I've seen another tactic that people might use to force their opinions onto others. Using a truck load of ten dollar words in attempt to convince everyone around them that their opinion MUST be important because, holy cow, look at all the big words I've used!

Yes, I'm brand new here. And, yes, I'm a new official. Could give a rat's tail what you, or anyone else, thinks about the appropriateness of my post with so little time on.

And for the rest of us........every time we respond (yes, I'm just as guilty right now...I absolutely couldn't help myself) we throw fodder on the fire. Let him go.....be free ajmc, and tell KB we said hello and we wish him the best with his program (and I mean that).

Did you ever wonder why the A-11 has never been used in an NCAA game? Did you ever wornder why all of Kurt Bryan's post about the A-11 releate to NF rules? It is because the current rules of the NCAA do not allow it....even Kurt Bryan understand that,

Considering hardly anybody's played A-11 at all, and that fewer games are played by NCAA rules than Fed rules, no.

No, it's because Kurt Bryan's opinion about the rules should not be taken as dispositive.

Any news yet?

You know a funny thing happened since I posted my earlier social experiment, this same pack of snarling beasts simply moved to another area and continued to ravage anything in its path.

Instead of trolling this web site and spewing your vile all over the Internet for everyone to read and see, why don't you go down to the barber shop and get yourselves some "man-zillians", then head out to your own local ice cream parlor, sit next to a nice looking lady, make some conversation and go out on a date! and do it again! and do it again!

I mean, do any of you have lives? Or does JRutDude come here to meet TXMike every night? Or does Hickland come here to meet JayBird every night? Or does ASDF come here to meet Snackwells (aka Snausages) because it doesn't hurt so much? Or does HLNC come here to meet "Mr(P)umpire of the night"? Get a life ladies and Ed Hickland please don't suck Brand New into your lair of arrogance. Really fellers, what kind of perfume do you buy each other for Christmas?

Has anyone ever bothered to count that there's only 20 of you and its the same drone over and over and over. RutDude Since 2000! That 8 years. You must have such bad buildup, you could shampoo a Wildebeest from 20 yards away! Turn it loose on a woman for the love of god. You'll be in a much better mood when you arrive and hopefully talk about what a beautiful shade a green field-turf is!

Have fun with this post boorish louts. And Jaybird, you are definitely elevating your game to a who new level with those shameful comments about the 50 year officiating veteran. Be proud. You da man. Barack ran so that despicable hyenas could interact with children.
