Awesome win. Representing the Huskies well on the pitch.
I dislike most of the overtime rules in sports. Shootout in hockey. PKs in soccer. New, bizarro rules in the NFL, which is a hybrid sudden death/college rules. College FB rules.
What's worse than a game being decided, after a couple hours of hard fought on the ice/grass combat, by a skater going one on one with the goalie? Seems to penalize a team with a great offense and a poor goalie and reward teams with great goalies and suckage everywhere else.
Here's what I suggest for the non-BBall games:
For Soccer and Hockey (defensive oriented games).
Start a short overtime with the normal number of players. After 5 minutes, each team needs to remove one player from the field/ice. Overtimes continue with one less player each time until an overtime ends with a winner decided. Could be instant death or play to clock ends. You've gotta picture the 2 on 2 plus the goalie in hockey. No good? 1 on 1 plus goalie. Can't decide it? Put the puck at center ice with the goalies in their respective nets and blow the whistle - somebody gonna score son. Goalie plus Ronaldo versus goalie plus Messi. Could get Messy.
For football - start a five minute overtime with 8 players per side. Next period, down to 5. Eventually you'll have Brady behind a center with Gronkowski in the wide out spot against a nose tackle, a DB, and a linebacker.
For baseball, push the mound back 3 feet for every extra inning a team doesn't score.
For basketball - leave it alone. Uconn Syr going 6 OT was one of the most exciting sporting events I have witness, notwithstanding the fact that the Orange pulp won it.
