Agreed: To all the people arguing that 2007 designs will be copied. some of those designs may have issues now thanks to different bumper rules now compared to 2007

Somebody should really do a poll on this: i thin the FIRST community is split on weather the 84" rule is a good or bad thing.

my thoughts exactly. I have no desire to watch a football game involving two bad teams, even if that game may end up having the most suspense that week.

a lot of those consistent hangers would still make the match exciting. Instead of going for the hang with 20 seconds left, the would go for it with 5 or 7 seconds left
