Do you think an Alabama RB gets away with this...

i know...games over they lost anyways but crap like this pisses me off. you have 2 refs looking right at this and NOTHING! So why even flag our RB for a throat slash not aimed at the bench of the opposing team?

Agreed. I do this every day at work when I finish drinking from my Solo cup at the water cooler. People make a big deal about it (because I'm a Bama fan).

Timing, no ref would call that with 1:19 to go in a title game, imho

I guess no ref would call the clear as day horse collar against AU on FSU's final drive either. I'm not one to typically complain about the refs, but two refs in position to make the call

Those B10 refs weren't calling a damn thing all night for either side.

I have no problem with what he did.

I don't either, I think all celebrating if it doesn't delay the progression of the game and isn't taunting should be fine.

that is why both sides have their own sidelines..celebrate their with your team mates. if you do it anywhere else you are bringing attention to yourself and that is not what a team sport is about..Go play intramurals brother.

Exactly. Isn't that what the delay of game penalty for? Do what you want for a celebration. Just have the ref spot the ball and start the play clock.

Since many players are trying to make the NFL, you kind of want a little attention.

Broker, I am not saying it should be tolerated just that it shouldn't be penalized.
Anything that is a judgement call should be left out of Ref's hands, that is a coming from someone currently coaching. The only ones that should be making judgement calls on a field is the coaches and the players.
I would suggest making penalties completely reviewable but that only works in the NFL and College. Plus it would make games painstakingly boring.
What I think would be better is for the AFCA to come up with a standard set of non-judgment related penalties. This could easily be done in a lab situation.
Create hard and fast rules on what is and is not holding, blocking the back, etc. Then have every level of football from the NFL down to Youth comply with said rules. Would make the game a whole lot easier with less complaining about the Refs. I mean Baseball can deterimine balls and strikes, lets get it out there what a hold is and is not. If soccer can have hard and fast rules and red carts, why not football? The targeting rule has been a mess because of Ref judgement calls.

Solo cup at the water cooler.
We only have the little Culligan Dixie cups at our water cooler. I'm going to talk to my HR and demand solo cups.
ETA: P.S. comparing the Heisman pose to a throat slash is pretty stupid imo.

We got the Solo cups in lieu of raises. Boss said "I've got some good news and some bad news . . ."

This. There were several holding calls on both sides that my son & I noticed that were not called...both teams DEs were being held on many of the perimeter runs...

because its a penalty to do a throat slash, its one of the gestures they have tried to actively get rid of

That 'taunting' call on FSU was an abortion in a game of these stakes. Had a very real impact on the game.
