KILL THE CLOCK

[Dirtybird12]

<p>Watching the Mich - Minn game when they lost the clock on the scoreboard. </p><p>The ref&nbsp; made an announcement - &quot;Time will now be kept on the field&quot;</p><p>It was weird seeing the scorebox in the top left with no clock...</p><p>made me think&nbsp;-&nbsp;how weird it would be if football changed because of this tech glitch?</p><p>what if only the players, coaches and refs were aware of the time?</p><p>but the viewers had no idea of how much time was remaining.... or anything clock related. </p><p>would it affect how you felt about the game? would it add to the game ? or hurt it?</p>

I think purists who love the not knowing the time would hate people with stopwatches.&nbsp; <br />

<p><font size="2">At least around here, when I attend local high school games, the &quot;official&quot; clock is always kept on the field by the refs.</font></p><p><font size="2">The scoreboard clock is run by some dope associated with the home team and is usually a minute or so off at the end of each quarter.</font></p><p><font size="2">With all the cute high school girls at the games , I am never bothered by the inaccurate clock</font></p>
