Finally!

 

[maplesyrup95]

Can't believe we've waited so long!

 

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

How will this affect the corona virus that's going to wipe out earth's population??

[yunginsNU2]

So can EA sports come out with the new college football already!!

 

[frankluv]

That's zero news.

 

[CheeseRunza_rivals]

π feels left out

 

[spinner4_rivals42045]

Stop the presses for nothing...

seriously thanks for nothing...

Your post was about nothing...

I got zero out of this thread...

 

[saluno22]

π feels left out

Let me know when they do something about √i

 

[Capiche]

Should have 0 impact on the game, unless the player wearing the number is really good.

[otismotis08]

So is Ken Burrough is compliance? Ken Burr00gh.

 

[RedCap_rivals330392]

Would some athletes really want to be known as a "zero"? I can easily see number 1 as being much in demand but zero? I guess it means different things to different people.

 

[GeorgeFlippin]

Hey, where’s VERB and CONJUNCTION JUNCTION?

 

[1 nu rugby_rivals]

kicker anyone?.....or too soon, given our recent departure rate
- former kicker

 

[Ewooc]

Also players will no longer have to leave the field after a targeting penalty

 

[rrthusker]

Agh the NCAA hard at work.

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

How about '00'?

 

[PeliniTheCrutch_rivals294365]

Should just automatically be the starting punter’s number for every single team before some dipsh!t teenager thinks it’s cool.

 

[red runner]

Now they can get rid of JR as part of their name tag. Do they think we will confuse them with their father?

 

[phoenix4nu]

Also players will no longer have to leave the field after a targeting penalty

I read that this is a recommendation by the NCAA Football Rules Committee and it will be considered for adoption by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel in April. Also the recommendation is to allow a player to be on the sideline after being flagged for targeting rather than going to the locker room. But the player would still be ejected from the game - and for the first half of the next game if the penalty is called in the second half of a game.

Can’t wait till they combine numbers with letters. Look like dirt track racing out there. 37B with the tackle

 

[WC_'sker]

How about '00'?

Jim Otto, who played center for the Oakland Raiders way back when, wore "00". I don't think you can use that number in the NFL any more.

As someone who takes stats, I'm all for something that reduces the chances of duplicate numbers in football. But that would be ridiculous. Numbers and letters together?!

Always love when a local guy has to slap on duct tape in the shape of whatever letter because the outlaws are in town and they get number priority

 

[CheeseRunza_rivals]

Hexadecimal, that's a good idea. 255 two digit numbers. Shouldn't be a need for duplicate numbers.

I'll get on board with that!

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

Why limit ourselves to integers? I was square root of 3 for my intramural team because I was so gd cool

 

[Crazyhole]

Could we just add an "or" in there like we do with the depth chart? "1or3" for example

 

[CheeseRunza_rivals]

Reminds me of an oldie but a goodie. At least for math nerds.

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand the binary system and those who dont.

Just a matter of time before there is a petition to start wearing jerseys with numbers that identify as letters

Otto was a very good player. So was Ken Burrough, a longtime WR for the Oilers who wore 00. Don’t remember any others.

Just a matter of time before there is a petition to start wearing jerseys with numbers that identify as letters

there are several posts in this thread worth contemplating...

 

[9and4_rivals188421]

About 15 years too late for Harrison Beck.

 

[HUSKERFAN66]

Just 0 and not 00?

 

[artguy68]

Are you sure it is a number? Could be a letter, or even a circle.

The quickest off the snap and had the finest technique playing center in the NFL in my opinion. Otto got to the DLineman's hips in the blink of an eye. That is back when linemen looked like athletes. Too many in today's game look like balloons. No question, today's 310+ pounders are more effective, but they really look like hell when compared to Otto or a Jerry Kramer or EJ Holub.

WTF? What about negative numbers?
