As for socks, if you really want to look ignorant make the team change into matching socks. I actually worked with a guy who was the R in a three man crew do that one night. Probably the best call he made all night, too. Guess how much fun that game was????

Maybe, but it could lead to 15-20 if he's not careful.

This certainly doesn't apply.

This doesn't either because if they are continously looking/watching their opponents socks then they have bigger problems.
