O.K. Mr. Idiot, let me give you a little lesson in "game timing" if you will.
The clock malfunctioned near the end of the third quarter and yes, the field cord snapped...ask anyone on the Siegel sideline. However, the clock can be run from the pressbox and therefore reset in the pressbox. By rule, if there is a clock official present (which there was) it is to be kept manually on the field. If not, then it can be run in the press box. So your little timing accusation is well...just plain stupid.
And for this analysis, Riverdale scored more than one point per minute compared to Siegel's 0 points per minute up until the field goal. So you tell me what person in their right mind is going to "extend" a game under these conditions??? Not to mention that it was hotter than hades.
Far fetched????? Nope, just the facts plain and simple. I have never seen people supporting a team that won by 47 points be so argumentitive about trivial things. If you keep focusing on how many first downs siegel had or the fact that you had three points scored on your vaunted defense, you are going to get smacked in the face cause you aren't looking forward......it may just happen in Ohio.
And another thing, before you go ranting and accusing...do everyone a favor and get a copy of the rulebook and actually learn the rules and procedures....it might very well open your eyes.
