Eight Week Spring Season: All Playoffs

[Tex Long 4382]

Flag football, 7-on-7. Eight Weeks, 128 teams: Everyone Plays.

Seed 'em up. Play in April and May. 64 Games in Week 1, 32 Winners play Week 2, then 16... 

No NCAA, no Conference bs, no beauty contest voting (other than seeding first round, and that could be from the final NCAA D1 Standings). 

For 128 teams, that's 127 games. Any given round could have multiple games in one venue if desired. Without eleven refs throwing flags, three more refs replaying videos, and three minutes of commercials for every minute of game, it's a definite possibility to get two or three games into the same time frame.

We're #3? Bring on #126, Buffalo. Yeah, I know D1A is up to, what, 133 teams? Bottom 5 are out. Who are the bottom 5? Oooh, it's W/L record and beauty contest time, and at least we won't be hearing FSU whining about being left out. Nothing says teams can't have "friendly" or even "conference" games outside The Tourney

This being Surly, there will be dozens, if not hundreds, of you lawyers and accountants to bring up dozens, if not hundreds, of reasons why it's not possible. Neophobe attitudes... belay that shit and let your imagination find ways to succeed. 

Oh, and remember: Fuck Offseason.

Go on...

Sounds stupid.

Day drinking is awesome isn’t it?

Bro, pace yourself.  The off-season just started. 

[troph 24781]

But it’s flag football?  I’d rather mastermind SEC expansion with Nick Saban in the off season if I’m being honest.

You don't need eight weeks for this. You could get it in over a four day weekend like two rounds of the NCAA tournament by playing double headers.

Need? Well, shit, we don't need football at all, but spreading it around gives more opportunities for talking heads to sell insurance, cars, and beer.

Why do you hate opportunity?

Sprung games should be home and home non conference scrimmages. 

A Texas-Ohio State home and home in April after spring practices would be tits. They'd pack the house for a game that means absolutely nothing but possibly some momentum for the preseason rankings.

8 week soft tissue injury competition. Just what we need.
