Comments on: Helmet-to-helmet, 40 seconds … Holding out hope http://blogs.starbulletin.com/uhsportsextra/holding-out-hope/ University of Hawaii Sports Coverage Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:53:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: wes http://blogs.starbulletin.com/uhsportsextra/holding-out-hope/#comment-10158 wes Wed, 14 May 2008 18:51:42 +0000 http://blogs.starbulletin.com/uhsportsextra/holding-out-hope/#comment-10158 Hi Dave...forgot to thank you for responding to my previous post. Only saw it today. Regarding rule changes on the type of hit Colt took is a good move. While I think the hit was clean, it could have caused damage beyond repair, maybe even life threatening. I still cringed when watching a replay of that hit...vividly remember the silence that followed. Like Chawan-cut I too don't care much for the 40 second clock. Only "good" I see...fans have less time to consume beer during the game. Hi Dave…forgot to thank you for responding to my previous post. Only saw it today.
