JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE IDEA OF ONE SUPPOSEDLY HAVING HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE AND THEN ANOTHER COACH USING AGAINST HIM AS AN ADVANTAGE TO WIN........

Morgan,
We spoke about this same issue on the phone this weekend. If the board is set so high that players are falling then an adjustment must be made. To me it's not football and not much fun when everyone is falling over. The optimum speed to me is a fast speed where players dont fall over. Some coaches I have noticed perfer a high volume speed where players are falling all over the field. To me that's not football, and it's also not a tweaking issue.
