regarding protests

Regarding the fact that protests are not allowed, I believe in 99% of all cases a reversal such as this would be dangerous as a precedent.

But in this case there is a clear and obvious exception....

there's a spec of fly dung in the pepper

I'm confused by your interpretation. When you say twice above your head, are you saying left-right is one waive, so it needs to be left-right-left-right? Or are left and right seperate and therefore...

interesting

It was called no catch on the field. Other than hitting the pylon, nothing came down in bounds. I was rooting for Michigan and I couldnt believe it was being reviewed because it wasn't close. I was...

Some years ago I was working as an editor of a small-town weekly paper and I liked to take news items from years past and see how far the town had come. In one of these older issues there was a...

doubt it

until I started reading these boards I had never heard of 6, 8, or 9 man football. I knew there was a page in the back of the rules book about it, but I thought there might only be a handful of...

Who was hurt?

What would the offense want? To keep the CB away from the ball carrier.

If the CB is out there holding someone then he's not going to be making the tackle, right? So what's the issue. He took...

hollow threat

We had something not nearly so vile, but along the same lines.

(First of all, if coaches are allowed to ding officials because they don't agree with calls, then that system is FUBAR in the first...

not uncommon

At a school last ge of season, already dark when we arrive at 5:45 for a 7:30 kick. Lights are on. We're barely out of the car when transformer blows. Sounds like a cannon. AD says they're going to...

oxyclean

I had a game one night that was so muddy I considered throwing my uniform in the trash. My socks were solid brown. Knickers a complete mess.

I doused them in spray-on OxyClean and put them in a...

no

you won't find any rules support as there is none. Sounded like you worked with a guy who doesn't know the rules or makes up his own.

same as wrong ball play in Fed

The Case Book is clear: Any action or verbage designed to make the defense think the snap is not iminent is ... unsportsmanlike conduct

Reading too much into it

Ed, I'm pretty sure you're alone in a crowd on this one. Let me see if I can expand on the place where the disconnect is, and if anyone disagrees with me, that's fine, too.

The case plays you...

knee pads here

I saw one player with short pants several years ago. Nothing since. I've been expecting it, but it hasn't shown up yet here. Chest bumps, yes.

Answer to those way ahead

When a player from a team that's comfortly ahead late in the game cries about wanting a flag, I just tell them that if I throw a flag I have to stop the clock, and his team is better served with the...

only one problem, ever

If they're not saying anything and out of the way, they can do their job anywhere they want to go, outside the 2-yard restraining line.

Had one guy who was a school's cross country coach and kept...

No. It starts when it starts. With 5 seconds to go the ECO should make the next play the last, regardless of whether it's a TD or not, so the game will end. At this point, how it 21-0 more fair that...

Rules committee

I agree with what has been said, and Mark May really showed his ignorance tonight.

The part that really gets me is some of the guys o ESPN Radio have mentioned that it is the rule -- a dumb rule...

If it's a low scrimmage kick, touching is ignored in the EXPANDED neutral zone.

So R has 2 yards to deal with, and I'm betting that's where the LB was when he blocked it.

Can't speak to NFL...

The schools are charged a set amount per game by the association.

I don't even know what we get for a game. I think it's $65 for 6 and $57 for 7, or something like that. I don't even know. I don't...

We use 7 when possible, but at least 6 on every game here in my part of Virginia.

Great question

That's a great question. One I've never thought of, but I think you have it backward. The 50 should diappear altogether. Consider, it's 5 yards from the goal line to the 5 yd stripe. then it's 4...

My thoughts exactly.

I've seen other guys blistered by coaches: "You saw that hold. I know you did! You were going to flag it! Why didn't you flag it?! I know you saw it?!"
