Not the biggest question but it still bothers me

The San Diego Section of California does not use it and never will.

Is there something about it that makes it so distasteful??

here in the cowboy state, we use a 5 second count similar to that used in basketball. When there are 5 seconds left the back judge begins counting..

The only time we do it is when the play clock doesn't start on time and the 25 second clock is kept onfield.

We use it in Ohio.

Not necessarily "distasteful", more of we have developed our own mechanics which differ from what the NF has in a few areas, this being one.
