Ever since Miami debuted its turnover chain, sideline props have become all the rage in college football.
At the JUCO level, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College wanted a chainsaw on the sideline for its game against Jones College. The refs, however, weren’t having it.
quote:
A referee told MGCCC senior defensive tackle Brian Merritt, “Y’all can’t bring that out here. Don’t bring out that saw.”
Another ref remarked, “One of us has been doing this 30 years and haven’t seen something like that.”
quote:
“We run a blitz called, ‘Saw,’” MGCCC coach Jack Wright told Magee. “It’s a pretty risky blitz, I guess you could say. You don’t leave a lot of help on the back end. We’ve got the kids sold on that’s the greatest defense we can run.
“It’s kind of taken on a life of its own over the last two years. Our kids love (the chainsaw). It brings a lot of energy and I think it’s unique. Anything that gives the kids a little boost before the game, I’m all for it.”
Wright was amused by the refs’ reactions.
“Maybe we should have asked permission, but sometimes it’s better off not asking and doing it anyway,” he said.

He'll make a good coach at either Mississippi school.

They just showed on MNF that Oregon State had one too. Seems like a horrible idea.

It’s no chainsaw, but Ardarius Stewart brought out an ax one time on Alabama’s sideline

They took the chains off so it’s just a noise maker.

There is no chain
I get why they don’t want it, but it’s of no harm to anyone. It’s a noisemaker.

These sideline props need to go away.
