Why are they so adamant about this in football but in college basketball players go crazy just about every play????

it's stupid. it's almost like we're treating these college grown arse dudes like they're in middle school or grade school. are the refs REALLY concerned with the players' feelings?
maybe the rule is just there to keep emotions in check... i don't know, but i always felt they should be able to celebrate as much as they want as long as it doesn't screw with the flow of the game or the time it takes to get the next play off.

This just gives the refs a chance to make some bullshite calls as "make ups" or to "change the game". Same old shite from the SEC and its Refs...

Don't act like "middle school or grade school" and there won't be a problem.
All the proposed change does is change the spot of enforcement; not the definition. Currently, if a live ball foul occurs behind the play it's enforced from the spot of the foul....how would this be different?

I still hate that it could take points off the board, if say, a player high stepped the last 2 or 3 yards in and the ref decided that was taunting. The fact that points could be removed when there isn't a penalty that helped the score (pass interference, holding..etc..) is what I think has everyone hating on this rule.

i'd like you to tell NFL players that taunt that they're acting like they're "in middle school" see if you feel the same way about it as you're acting right now.
bottom line, there's emotion in sports. they ought to be able to exhaust it at least a little bit. it's a little ridiculous to expect them to keep tabs on their emotions in huge games... hell, for me, in any game. i'd be happy as heck, and i'd want to celebrate a lot. i mean, keep your stuff together, stay focused, stay disciplined yada yada yada...
they wouldn't play the game if it didn't matter. we wouldn't watch it if it didn't matter.

The games are just as emotional and exciting to watch without having to watcha a kid act like a moron.
Nobody wants to see a game potentially be decided by a bad call a la Georgia/LSU, but making a fool of yourself and your team in route to a TD has no place in any game, IMO.

Now you are trying to change the discussion.
1. They can "exhaust" their emotions and the rule change has NOTHING to do with that. It changes the spot of enforcement; not the definition.
2. Now you interject "big games" into the mix. You want two interpretations: big game vs small game enforcement?
Also, the rule is already in the book in the section concerning OT. Why haven't you whined about that?
Nice ignore of my question; but facts tend to silence bullshite.

ah. i wasn't even referring to the "rule change."
therefore, i wasn't ignoring your comment. i was talking about my displeasure in general about the sensitivity AND the fact that the discretion is given to the refs as opposed to the coaches.
btw, thanks for calling my thoughts on the matter bullshite. :) you rock!

Oh, I understand now. You weren't addressing the OP.

I was looking for you the other day.
I found this thread involving officials, and presto.
Have you had a chance to see the first play of the second half of the biggest stage for officials in the world?
I think I saw one official actually get bumped out of the way of the scrum. It was just a huge pile of players pulling and even one stomping his feet at another. Players and coaches from the sidelines involved.
How many flags did you see?
BTW, one of the best officiated games I have ever seen. Do you agree?

Eagerly awaiting your response. Your green light says you're out there.
I've got Mardi Gras parades to get to.
I guess a simple yes would suffice. Or no response at all might be just as well.

As long as they are not punting the ball in stands, showing up the other team, and ripping off their helmets, I always thought it was okay. To put players in wraps is tough, I don't know how anyone can play a sport without showing emotion.

My post in this thread has little to do with the original post.
Arrakis knows what I'm referring to, he's just not willing to discuss it.
And wisely so, I might add.

You know really i wasn't asking about why they have the rule. I was just wondering about what you guys think makes it ok in basketball but not football...Basketball just about every play you have some guy beating his chest and screaming. Why would the ncaa think thats OK ? LOL
