You are wrong
The rule isn't even about clapping specifically, it's about trying to simulate the snap. You also can't say things like Hut.
7-1-5-a-5: "No player shall use words or signals that disconcert opponents when they are preparing to put the ball in play. No player may call defensive signals that simulate the sound or cadence of, or otherwise interfere with, offensive starting signals."
He did nothing that was trying to simulate the snap. And if that was the actual case, then it would have been a penalty against Auburn. There was no penalty.

This doesn't make sense, because they gave him his timeout
Unless they charge him with a delay of game instead of the time out and also charge Auburn with simulating the snap at which point I would think those are offsetting and replay the down?

simulate the sound or cadence of, or otherwise interfere with, offensive starting signals.
When they use clapping as the offensive starting signal then the defense cant clap. What part of that do you not understand? This is not new and it has been flagged for years.

Okay so the premise is you see something the refs should call and you call time out so you can tell them, then they shouldn’t charge you for taking a timeout because they should know better?
Really? That’s the argument?
You must be insane.

Which Auburn player is clapping?
I am curious since I don't see it on the video.

If so that's two L's for McDonough last night

Totally agree, Kirby was just explaining his position...

He did not clap the same way your signals are done, and he clearly did it to get someone's attention not to simulate the snap. What's next, players can't say words at all because the offense uses words?
Furthermore, there was no penalty called because it wasn't a penalty.
I've seen coaches argue things like this for 50 years and not a single time did Kirby indicate he was saying anything about Auburn. If he was doing that he would have been pointing at the guilty player and saying he was clapping. Instead he was pointing at his own player and shaking his head no while doing almost the EXACT same motion HE was making while running to the ref with the small difference of one hand not being bent.
Furthermore, the play clock was running out and that's the actual reason he was trying to call a time out.
Go find some other lame excuse to cover for your coaches lack of integrity. I know what the frick I saw.

Clay Travis is bought by the SEC/REC. What do you expect

That is not a penalty. There is no rule for clapping. It's for simulating the snap, which can include clapping. But he wasn't doing that.
Trying to claim the defense can never clap or do things to communicate between each other is like trying to say you can no longer talk at all because the offense uses words.
He was getting the ends attention.

The clapping also got UGA coaches attention.

bullshite. Never once did Kirby make an argument that Auburn was clapping.

Dude you are dense. They can not clap at all. Clapping is considered simulating the snap.
Posted on 10/12/25 at 1:19 pm to 3down10
You are literally dumber than a bag of hammers. Can not simulate THE SOUND OR cadence. Clapping is simulating the sound of the offensive snap. Like I said before, this is not a new rule. It has been called for years. Tell me you don't actually watch football without saying you don't actually watch football.

No, it's not. What's next, they can't talk at all because the offense uses words too?
It's about simulating the cadence/snap, and the player did nothing to interfere with that.
There was no penalty for Auburn on the play. Furthermore, nothing Kirby did had anything to do with it, nor did he ever make the argument Auburn was clapping.
He was using the same motion with his hands up high like when doing the time out thing, but this time he was clapping. He never pointed at an Auburn player to say they were guilty, and he certainly never clapped in the same manner that player did. He was claiming he was clapping instead of calling a time out and he pointed at his own player claiming it was to get him to snap the ball.
The truth is, Kirby called a time out because the play clock was running out and then lied and said he didn't. The refs fricked up because they believed him.

I've been watching football for 50 years. It's not my fault you can't understand the rule and what it's for. Just because you are too stupid to view things in context doesn't mean everyone else is.
To claim you can never clap is like claiming you can never yell or say anything at all, rather than having a tiny bit of understanding in that you can't yell or do things in a way that simulates or interferes with the snap.

If Kirby was arguing that, he was wrong.
The safety wasn’t trying to simulate a snap count.
