REPLY: Living in NJ, I got to see a lot of Rutgers football over the last two seasons, and with that, a lot of Ray Rice. Each and every time he scored a TD, without fail, he would pass through his teammates who were looking to celebrate, hunt out the nearest official, and hand him the ball. Each and every time...made it look like he'd been there before.

Its hard to believe any official would question this call. What if this had occurred in the first quarter and not been flagged, then, the opponent had scored in the second quarter and launched the ball. Therefore, since you did not penalize the first occurrence you cannot justify subsequent occurrences.
Well, aren't we suppose to officiate the game the same all the way from opening kickoff until the R holds the ball up to signal it over? In order to be consistent you make that call anytime it occurs regardless of the clock or the score. Sports in high school and college is suppose to be a learning experience and part of that experience is discipline and respect for the rules and authority. This was a lesson in "tough love." |

Oddly enough, if the official wouldn't have thrown the flag, there would most likely have been ZERO backlash for not calling it (moreover- nobody would have noticed or said "hey, he should have thrown a flag on that!").
Eh, go figure |

I recall a few bowl game last year in which there were players doing somersaults "spontaneuously" as they scored, and others who interacted with the fans and none of those were flagged. Those officials got ripped by the media for not flagging them. The media is going to rip the officials no matter how it gets called. Their sole purpose is to create controversy because it draws in an audience.

Given the way the rest of the drive was "officiated," the hostility would have lasted a long time. The BYU radio guys were already up in arms about the typical experience of traveling to a PAC-10 stadium. The quote from the play-by-play guys just as the flag was thrown was: "If they hadn't thrown that flag, you never would have heard the end of it from me." ________ Roll blunts Last edited by youngump; Mon Sep 19, 2011 at 06:23pm. |

I think that it's good that this type of controversy came out early in the year. The hope is that the authoritive acceptance of officials will increase.
