Finally, I've found someone who agrees with me on ties.

There is nothing wrong with regular season ties, and some of the greatest sporting events in history ended in times. See, e.g, the 1949 ND-Army game and the 1966 "Game of the Century" between ND and MSU. And the lack of overtime puts coaches to a decision and shows us who have guts. Would the 1988 ND-Miami game have been what it was if Jimmy J. could have just kicked the extra point and played for overtime? Jimmy has my eternal respect (and trust me, I'm no fan) for having the guts to go for two after the final touchdown (which really wasn't a touchdown, but hey)?
