I'd like to ban tackling. It is past time to evolve with the game - from running and hitting to the finesse of passing - by just going to 2-below for downing the ball carrier.

I thought SMU had band tackling for the last two seasons.

I thought the only band tackling was in the 1982 Cal-Stanford game.

It certainly looked like the band was doing the tackling. You'd think they could bring people down better with metal instruments to whack people with.

Nice to see Dave going with the "classic" pinstripe pants against our crosstown rivals. I'm guessing he just got out of bed.

Even better do away with running, then we could just play 7 on 7.
