I noticed JJ render the hush symbol in the end zone after his TD. I assume it wasn't to our fans. Pretty innocent, however, can a player be flagged by an over zealous official for that?
Coaching dilemma, having fun vs taunting!

I would think so but don’t know the rules for certain. I don’t like it. Don’t really see the point. Score, celebrate with your teammates and move on. No need to taunt fans sitting in the stands.
He was flagged for it last year at Iowa. Belton was flagged for it, cant remember where
Unsportsmanlike behavior. As soon as I saw that I didn'T like it.
It's a chickenshit thing to do, I hope the coaches rip him for it
He absolutely did. Since there was no ensuing kickoff it didn't matter, but a flag was thrown.
Well watch it again and explain to me why the extra point snap was at the 18 yard line
Delay of game due to players on the field.Well watch it again and explain to me why the extra point snap was at the 18 yard line
They stopped calling it years ago. Quick, name the last player to be flagged for it? If you said Bill Belton, you win a cigar.
OK, regardless of which of us is right or wrong, I've officially lost my mind. I pulled up the game on the DVR to watch the end. After the interview with Barkley, I went and grabbed something to drink. I'm watching the TV and I'm seeing highlights of Oklahoma beating Baylor. I think to myself "WTF, I'm following the thread on Army and Okie going to overtime, how the he$$ can they be playing Baylor?????"
Right before I realized I was still watching the DVR
Ball was snapped from 12 for 2 pt try so no penalty at all watch the vid on YouTube.
Sorry RD, I have the extra point on freeze frame on the DVR right now. The ball is at the EIGHTEEN yard line.
Whatever penalty was called, it was a 15 yarder.
App State players did it to our fans when they took the lead late in the 4th quarter. It’s become a cliche now, just like most things in sports.
Give the ball back to the ref and act like you’ve been there before. I hope they throw a flag every time. And at some point we will get a flag when it matters and the selfish act will hurt the team. Celebrate with your teammates and get off the field. And while I’m telling kids to get off my grass I could do without the home run swing and belly rub as well. But that’s just my opinion as an old school old guy. I guess if we aren’t getting flagged it’s fine. But the first time we get a flag, Franklin needs to shut it done.
True, but we tend to think, or at least say, we are better...that we should act more honorably. If so, it can start with the little things and the big things will take care of themselves. Some guy said that once. I think he might have even been a coach here.
Old school guys like us tend to think that way. Hell, I'm so old school my lessons were written on papyrus.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned this one from yesterday. I watched about three plays from the Minny-MD game. One of those was a pick-six Interception return.
Dback gets to end zone and does some mild celebration for his effort. I think it was a still pose. Another player fakes that he has a camera and snaps a photo of the still pose. That player who snapped the photo was cited for Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Can you believe it?
That had to be the most stupid Unsportsmanlike call in the history of mankind. No taunting. No words or gestures to an opposing player. It was nothing at all other than two guys celebrating a big play and six points.
If plays like that are penalty-worthy, Lord help us all. Shut down the game now.
