My all-time favorite:
The team on my sideline had just given up a long touch down pass when the QB rolled out on an option and pulled back to throw the pass to a wide open reciever. The DB came over to talk to a defensive coach and was asked why he gave up on the coverage. The player's reply was "They ran the option so i came up to cover the option." The coach's reply: "Son, the pass is one of his options!"
I know it's not a stupid comment by a coach toward an official but it was one of the funniest exchanges I have heard on the sideline.
BTW Forksref...I'm a ND native now living out of state and I've noticed a lot more games are being played on Saturday afternoons. Is that because of a shortage of officials or avoiding cold weather on Friday nights? Or some other reason? When I was living there (late 80s) all games were Friday nights. Also...how about those Bison?!? They might be favored against the Gophers this year.
