The ball is in the process of and being prepared to be put in play as soon as the play clock starts. The process and preparation can take 1 second and up to the max whether it be 25 or 40 seconds. During this time when the play clock is operating, the defense players cannot clap for any reason. It doesn’t matter if the offense is square dancing and the QB is doing the worm. Is the updated version of the rule really that hard to understand?


Ok guy, have fun with that.

Here is what I know.

Kirby wants people to think he called timeout over an Auburn safety clapping 10 yards away from line of scrimmage in a loud away stadium before the OL was set. What a dumb timeout.

Kirby doesn't want people to see the video of him running up the field calling timeout and then once the TO was tendered he claims he was just clapping.

Either way, no matter the reason why he initially wanted a timeout in either scenario he should have still been awarded a timeout.

Ref got fired for incompetence.

This whole discussion around clapping is a red herring and completely irrelevant. If there's an infraction, it's the official's job to throw the flag not Kirby's.

The question is whether Kirby called timeout. He clearly did (as the play clock was about to hit zero). Then he's clapping like a seal telling the official that he didn't. Well Kirby, it's either a TO or a delay of game. You're free to complain to the official about Auburn players clapping if you like, but if you call TO, you should be charged for it.

Not many are saying Kirby shouldn’t have been charged a timeout.

There are people saying the clapping wasn’t a penalty. This season it is. They fouled that up too.

I just think it was a makeup call. They realized they screwed up not calling the penalty on Auburn so they gifted that to Kirby.

The officials butchered the whole game.

Hilarious seeing Auburn spend so much energy every week over shite they have no control over instead of preparing for the next one.



Getting the crew permanently suspended disagrees with you.

Why do you think they got "permanently suspended"? Its a nonsensical phrase from a single random "news source".

Because of proof of work?

Are you saying the article is sham or suggesting off the field behavior?

Yet to be refuted, no comment from SEC, mainstream outlets reposting and discussing

The burden is on the claim to be proven. Until the SEC comments, assume its a fake story.

Why would anyone assume the article from a source named "yallahammanews" is legit?

The SEC can easily get out in front of this thing. In fact, the sooner the better. By simply g claiming there is no validity to it. But they are pouring gasoline on the fire by staying silent

Because it's owned by people connected to politicians in Alabama and the SEC office is in Birmingham, so all these people know each other.

Wrong. I'm not saying the story is true, but the fact that you're saying the story is fake is a dumb arse approach based on what we know at this point.

Because it ultimately doesn't matter to them if some random website makes up a fake story that is only being discussed by a very small amount of rabid fans.

It's fake news until it's proven to be real news.

That's not what it is called .

I also view this no different than if AL.com ran this story. The author's source may just be wrong or got bad info, but it isn't a "fake" story. Yollowhammer is at a bare minimum a legit news site that does not post just fake articles.
