And based merely on watching the games on TV, I'm glad.

Glad to see it go.  It got old pretty quick, mainly because it was played so often (literally every 3rd down) and whoever had their hand on the button didn't really have much situational awareness.  Maybe it was the Arkansas game where it was over and Ark was just running out the clock, they played it and the whole crowd groaned collectively.

Exactly
I wouldn't mind if it was played on rare occasions for a particularly big play situation.  It did seem to get the players and students involveed more in the game.  Even saw I even saw Leave it to the beaver types trying to get the hand/arm movements down

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
