Physics of football

I enjoy the sports science shows on Fox Sports... and enjoyed the few physics of football ads that I saw last year.
Now, if they start stretching for material and talk about the Earth shaking while the band does the Dog Pound Rock... then yes, scrap it.</p>

Nebraska's been doing this for years. And who am I to disagree with the Ninja?1

1Yes, I'm afraid I might be struck by a throwing star.

The biggest problem I find in it, and what ultimately everybody else sees wrong with it, is that they try to get a football player with zero acting ability and no on camera personality to try and "act" out a scene. The players end up looking uncomfortable and just plain stupid....I know they dont have time to practice these skits enough to get the players comfortable with "acting" for three minutes, but if they could somehow improve on this aspect of the skit it would greatly improve on the perception of the skit.</p>
Don't think we have many of them, but I guess they do exist.
If you don't like Physics of Football, I bet you are a sidewalk alumnus.
My geek *** thinks its awesome. I, too had friends at the LSU and Georgia Tech games that thought it was cool. In fact, Georgia Tech is stealing it from us this season I have been told.

It's the closest thing the visiting LSU and Bama fans will ever get to a post-highschool education. Who are we to prevent their intellectual growth?
Ifso many people like it so much then we should keep doing it, but if we are going to do it can we make it a little bit better quality. The players that are on there look like it is killing them to be doing it. They look at the guy and talk to him like he is the biggest dork alive. If we are going to keep doing it, we need to up the quality. I know that most all the people sitting around me moan everytime it comes on.</p>
But, it's just some of the drivel to fill up dead space on the Dawgzillatron during slow moments in the ebb and flow of the game.
Kind of like the restaurant ads, which are actually fund-raisers.
I'm more going to miss the Zatarain crab shell-game, since that really energized the crowd.

Always thought they were good for slow times during a ball game. Agree with the acting part though. Some of those guys really need some help. Get some less camera shy players and work on the acoustics, and it's gold. Hell, maybe I'll even learn something. In engineering physics right now, and don't have a clue of what's going on.
