Just start at the 10 yard line and move back 5 yards until one of them misses. At least it wouldn't take a season's worth of work and deduct it to a coin flip.

And man oh man, what an awesome game, it was exciting lol. When I didn't really have any stake in the outcome, it still managed ot be a nail biter. A few questionable calls from the officials that helped out both teams, which is becoming an all too common occurence for my taste, but otherwise a great game.

Thanks guys!

T-Matts, lemme just say that don't judge the city based off a few things you saw or heard might have happened after Katrina on the news. The media loves to latch onto the negative in any story, so don't believe the hype. The VAST majority of people in New Orleans are great people that have been through alot and stuck through it. I mean, 4 years ago this city was absolutely devastated like we've never seen in US history. Trust me, I lived it, I lost my house and basically everything I owned and had to start all over. Yes, New Orleans has it problems, largely due to poverty. But after what we've been through I think its pretty damn impressive how far we've come and how close knit the city has become post-Katrina.

The other is that if they put it through the uprights on kick-off then they get 2 points, but the other team still gets the ball at the 20. The third one involves a hairless cat, gumbo, KY, and barb wire... but man is it awesome.

They can't go to college rules because that would kill some of the suspense of the 4th quarter. They can't play a full quarter either. The coin-flip induces a sense of drama or something, but both teams have a D-fense why should only one get to have a go at it.
