On Thursday, the rules oversight panel approved two major timing changes that would revert the rules to what they were in 2005 — stopping the clock on possession changes and not starting it on kickoffs until the receiving team touches the ball.

Some coaches complained the 2006 changes, which resulted in about 14 fewer plays per game, had altered the game too much. Others said it prevented teams from rallying late in games.

Indiana Pacers guard Jamaal Tinsley and teammate Marquis Daniels were charged Wednesday in a Feb. 6 bar fight.

How Do I Feel?: annoyed

“The NCAA football rules committee, meeting Wednesday in Albuquerque, N.M., recommended going back to starting the clock on the snap after a change of possession instead of when the referee signals the ball ready for play.

It also suggested starting the clock on kickoffs after the ball is touched by the receiving team rather than when it is kicked.”

— Using a 15-second play clock immediately after timeouts instead of a 25-second clock;

— Reducing timeouts from 65 seconds to 30 seconds;

— Kicking off from the 30-yard line instead of the 35 to cut down on touchbacks;

— Limiting the time officials have to review a replay to two minutes.

How Do I Feel?: ecstatic

Live video of Colts getting back to Indy

http://www.theindychannel.com/video/10934883/index.html

I’ve watched 5 minutes and so far, they have yet to tell the guy in the chopper that he is LIVE and needs to watch what he is saying.

Dome is almost packed full, and it is -10 in Indy and from what I see, not many care that it’s that cold and are outside waiting.

GO HORSE!

(3 hours later)

What a class act, the team and the city of Indianapolis. I’m sure the frigid cold help last night, but they said thousands poured onto the streets and there was a total 33 arrest and only 8 of those was Colts fans and zero acts of vandalism.

Team wise, this is how high priced athletes should be, grateful, humble and thankful they get paid millions to do what they love.

We just watched the parade and the homecoming at the dome and for the most part it was a cluster fuck and on more then one occasion we saw and heard things we wasn’t suppose see or hear to since no one told the reporters they was still being broadcasted live.

The parade route and the party at the dome was incredible, completely packed and as Hunter Smith said “I didn’t know there was this many people in Indianapolis”. The best part by far was when they introduced Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison and the ever so humble and quite Marvin forced Reggie to do the talking and then Marvin tried to hide amongst the team and the entire Offensive line physically forced Marvin back to the podium to finally talk, the place went nuts.

I am still in shock, this is the first time *my* team has ever won the big game.

Bring on the 2007-2008 season…

GO HORSE!!!!
