The NCAA Is Just Ridiculous!!!!

Anybody remember that game against UGA a few years ago where Demetrice Morley knocked out the receiver on the sideline and they called a penalty because he hit him too hard?

So if a player starts high stepping at the 1 yd line, instead of a TD it's 1st and goal from the 16? Stupid. The NCAA's biggest problem should be making sure their refs know when to actually call celebration penalties, not give them more scenarios to consider them.

If I read that correctly, a score would only be eliminated if the "taunting" took place before the touchdown. Post-score penalties, like a Miami player putting up the "U" after a TD, will still use the current rules.

It's still a stupid rule IMO, but I just wanted to clarify it a little.

Putting more subjective rules into a referee's hands is counter-intuitive at this point.

Yeah, was watching college football live earlier today talk about the rule. They had Dan Mullen on and he said something that i thought was a good point. He said "having the ref making a judgement call that could possibly take points off the board is scary."

And I tend to agree with him.

I understand. It's just as stupid this way.

This is ridiculous. I loved NFL and college TD celebrations, they're taking all the swag out of the game. Whats the point if you can't enjoy making a good play, and the taunting just makes for more drama.

I don't understand that position. That's exactly what happens when holding is called on a TD play. Holding is clearly a judgement call. Same thing with pass interference or roughing the passer on a defensive TD play. All those are judgement calls that take points of the board. Officials mainly make judgement calls. That's their job.

I do like the logic of enforcing a foul in the field of play from the spot of the foul. As Teaff said that's consistent with all other fouls. Now you can argue that the foul itself should or shouldn't be a rule. But now that it is a rule, the enforcement point makes sense.

Score the TD. Give the ball to the official. Go to the sideline. Celebrate when the game is over.

Except that in the instances you mention, one can make a case that the hold or pass interference led or contributed to the TD being scored. You can't say that about a celebration penalty.

I remember an OSU-Mich game a few years ago where they called a celebration penalty on Santonio Holmes for diving in the endzone even though there were UM players near him and he clearly wasn't showboating. Won't be surprised to see something similar with these new rules.

Also, is the down when the penalty occurred replayed since it's not a dead ball foul?

Taking points scored off the board is asinine regardless of how butt hurt somebody might be. If blocking and tackling on kickoffs is too much for the wusses and powers that be then just flip a coin and give possession on alternating scores at the twenty yard line. Holy pussy crap Batman, what has football become?

(course god forbid they just get rid of some commercials)

It makes no sense. The referees are there to make sure the games are played correctly not to potentially decide an outcome.
