Doing a flip into the endzone

[Kurt Warner]

Is okay evidently. NCS guy does a flip and makes the landing i might ad while running at a pretty good clip. Actually kinda impressive. Where's the call? To those of you that still think the call on Wadley was a good one, well you're just plain wrong, sorry.

I saw it and thought the same thing. There has also been multiple high steps, bat swings, pointing at the crowd, etc......in all of the games this morning. No Calls.

It pissed Off Zach

I only saw the highlight, but he didnt get flagged for that? My god isn't that the definition of unsportsmanlike conduct? Haha

 

[DaCDiggity]

he got the penalty.....you could here the ref speaking in the background and the announcers acknowledged that he would receive a penalty basically saying the flag was thrown

Penalty on the kickoff.

It shouldn't be. Showing off isn't unsportsmanlike. Now maybe flipping should be penalized out of safety concerns, but there is nothing unfair or dishonorable about the move.

He was flagged for it.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

He was flagged for it.

On kickoff. Should have been a spot foul where he leapt at the 1. 15 yards, NCST should have had the ball at the 16.

At least if the db refs from our game were making the call.

The one that gets me is the holding your finger to your mouth and sushing the crowd. Now that IS the definition of unsportsmanlike conduct!

Showing up your opponent is unsportsmanlike no matter how you slice it.

Flipping into the end zone is showing up your opponent. As is high stepping to a smaller degree.

Taunting and showing up your opponent should be flagged every time IMO. Anything to keep college from turning into the NFL.

That position makes winning unsportsman. The whole point of competition is to show up your opponent. Somehow it's become unacceptable to show emotions on the field. That's not realistic. This stoic, business like, professional attitude the game officials insist on isn't good for the game. Let a coach put that stamp on his team if he likes, but the NCAA shouldn't have these rules.

 

[HawkNole09]

Judging the intent is what gets me.

I'm sure the flip was a celebration. For himself, for the crowd, and he and his teammates.

I doubt it was meant to show up anyone.

Now dropping a guy for a loss, and then standing over him -- it's easy to judge the intent on that one. I'd flag it every time.

um, no.......

Let it go...

Not in the least. You can beat your opponent, handily. You can even show emotion.

I don't need to show up my opponent in order to beat them handily. I can win with class.

I don't think you know what showing up someone means or the definition of unsportsmanlike is after reading what you just posted.

Being what you perceive as classy shouldn't be a rule of the game. Its ridiculous, PC, social engineering that serves no earthly purpose.

It was a celebration, an excessive one.

You don't think it was meant to show anyone up? Really? What do you think a flip into the end zone says then?

Here's what it tells a normal person. You couldn't stop me and I can do whatever I want and still score.

So there should be no celebration rules to the game?

One could Deion Sanders to the end zone? While on a break away, I could turn around and give you the "bring it on" move as I walk backwards in for a TD? Use your head.

There might be some that have to do with safety or delay of the game. But you should absolutely be able to Deion Sanders to the end zone. Celebrating alone should be legal and encouraged.

Exactly!!!

When fights break out after players start retaliating for their opponent's unsportsmanlike behavior. There are reason why these rules are in place. It's not like the NCAA just steps in and says "What can we do so these players don't have fun?"

But why should they make rules, PC, social engineering on what they feel is appropriate amount of time to celebrate my TD?

After I score, I want to high five every Hawk fan at the five yard line and there should be no rules saying I can't.

The rule to prevent a fight is, no fighting. That should be obvious. And you make rules to keep the game going to please the fans and TV, that should be obvious too.

Sounds an awful lot like PC, social engineering jargon.


And you make rules against unsportsmanlike behavior, such as taunting and excessive celebration. Since they've already done that, that should be obvious. Maybe most fans don't want to see the hot dog, look at me, behavior?

I think you are now just giving up. Business decisions that allow a sport to make money and please the crowd don't fit your claim. But even if they were PC social engineering, they would be justified by a clear goal that allows the game to succeed in the market. Restricting celebrations doesn't do that. In fact restricting celebrations likely does the opposite and harms the game and disappoints the fans and players. Everyone likes hot dogs.
