AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 01:29AM I think this excessive celebration stuff in the NCAA is BS. Oh, and hi!
AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 01:29AM I mean penalizing a dude because he chucks the ball in the air? it's SPORTS people! Lighten up!
MackCollier says Sep 07, 2008 01:32AM A few years ago, Bama was in OT, and they stopped the other team and the players jumped on each other in end zone and they called penalty
MackCollier says Sep 07, 2008 01:32AM Bama had to start at Arkansas 40 instead of 25. They could have hit chipshot FG for win, but ended up losing
AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 01:30AM See, this is what I mean. So what, a bunch of grown men are going to get their feelings hurt or something??? puh=LEEZE
MackCollier says Sep 07, 2008 01:31AM well I can see it with the ball, but the cheering with each other a lot of times is ridiculous
AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 01:35AM I don't see what's wrong with spiking the ball or chucking in the air. Who does that hurt?
AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 01:34AM I suppose they're trying to set an example for being a gracious winner or something huh?
treypennington says Sep 07, 2008 01:34AM you are absolutely right. The players should play to the outcome of the game, not the officials.
AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 01:37AM LOL EagleHawk maybe we should end every game with a rousing rendition of Kumbaya?
AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 01:42AM Oh. Ok, um. Perhaps I should consult my attorneys before saying anything else.
MackCollier says Sep 07, 2008 01:45AM celebrating clearly infringes upon the other team's fans having a chance to enjoy the game
susanreynolds gives Sep 07, 2008 01:42AM the thumbs down on the penalty in the game AmberCadabra is talking about
susanreynolds Sep 07, 2008 01:44AM believes in the players being taught sportsmanship - but tossing the ball that way was not excessive sportmanship IMHO
MackCollier says Sep 07, 2008 01:46AM BTW I didn't see the play, but I think a lot of times they will be picky at first to send message to players to not get out of line
AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 01:49AM You're right Susan. I tease about the guys being sissies, but I do think there's a level of sportsmanship that's appropriate.
EagleHawk Sep 07, 2008 01:48AM I bought the NCAA 09 game for playstation. they throw a flag for giving eachother high 5's ... I've had to turn that one off.
AZJazzyJ says Sep 07, 2008 07:35PM I would normally agree with AmberCadabra but I wanted BYU to beat Washington so right now I am pro anti-celebration rule.
AZJazzyJ says Sep 07, 2008 08:11PM BYU needs all the help they can get to overcome the evil BCS empire.
silky says Sep 07, 2008 08:29PM over here in England footballers get booked if they take their shirts off to celebrate a goal... for reasons I forget now.
silky says Sep 07, 2008 08:32PM Yeah, for a while it went crazy... players diving into the crowd, fans mauling players, took 5 mins to restart the game.
silky says Sep 07, 2008 08:36PM we also go through "crack downs" every year. Recently it's been "respect the ref" and "don't break people legs". The world's gone soft
AmberCadabra Sep 07, 2008 08:41PM Seriously! It's not a game until someone's leg gets broken or a ref gets called a blind and gutless suckwad.
silky says Sep 07, 2008 08:45PM and as long as we all shake hands afterwards, does it really matter what actually happens on the "field of dreams"?
