Interesting response to a touchdown

I would imagine, or at least hope, that tradition continues.

The last time I was there, they were dressed as Nuns. Visiting coach was not to pleased, but I did ask he not swear at them.

My favorite was when I was running a clock several years ago during a blowout, and a mother in the press box was screaming about how the refs were biased because every time the opponent scored, the ref would make a "celebration gesture" that showed his favoritism. I had to explain to her that he was twirling his index finger in the air to signal an untimed down for the PAT.

What's a mother doing in a press box?

Holy cow.

Officiating games in an orphanage, that's the way to go.
