"LSU suffers consequences of new celebration rule"

[pmull]

He was not only taunting in the field of play he was celebrating with the fans at the back of the end zone. I don't like the rule taking points off the board but it needs to be a 15 yard walk off on either the point after or the ensuing kickoff. You have to draw the line on showboating at some point.

[rueben]

I agree. The refs should not be able to pull points off the board for something as subjective.

Cody's was a DEAD BALL FOUL, after the end of the game. For Derrick Thomas to commit P.I. the  ball would have still been alive, even after 00:00 on the clock.

exactly , and not knowing the rule got lame kiffen a reprimand for violating  the
Southeastern Conference code of ethics .
SEC spokesman Charles Bloom  made it  clear that Cody broke no rule when it happened
then lame got on tv ran his mouth anyway about the no call by the refs and got his 2nd reprimand of the year ...
Slive even threatened lame with suspension if I remember right ...

I'm glad that sack of monkey crap is out at uscw now !  

what Wing did was pretty mild in my book , and a far as penalties go it was  
no where near what I would consider taking a TD away from LSU worthy  
if it would have happened to one of our guys YES I would have been pizzed off really bad
the rule is the rule , but in this case it sucks imho , we just need to careful not to break it .


I still say Wing should have just sat down on the one foot line and told the refs to figure it out    
it ain't like LSU wouldn't have punched it in on the next play or two  ...

A rule is a rule is a rule. All coaches have been told the new rule and to educate the players on it.The rule is pretty east to understand, no taunting of any kind.

Should this rule be there today, probably not, but taunting is something that needs to be stopped. It's totally unnecessary get in another players face just because you made a good play, it only leads to bigger and/or worse things to happen during the course of the game.

   Very lucid and well said.  Plus, you need to get to 400 e-creds.

He certainly did taunt on the field and it was what the flag was thrown for. He turned to look back at two Florida defenders, and held his arms out wide, like "What you can't catch me?" It was minor, but he did do it.

This is taunting! 15 yards from the spot of the foul and no ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am certainly not a fan of LSU and do not post often but if we're doing opinions then I do not think he was bringing excessive attention to himself, I think you gotta let there be some emotion on big plays.

new rule ...

WARNING !
this will get your TD taken off the scoreboard !

I have read that COACHES were the one's pressing for this rule and infraction/penalty. They are sick of the showboating.




 

[Terrie1959]

Well, I am going to be in the minority on this one. I like the new rule.  Obviously the excessive celebration penalty wasn't doing the job. it was "just 15 yards".  Now, players HAVE to act like MEN when they score. I hate the grand standing, stupid dancing, and the taunting. If the loss of points doesn't work as a deterrent, perhaps loss of points, loss of down AND 15 yards will do it. Make the penalty stiff enough and coaches will train these men on how to act on the football field.   

As for the Mark Ingram stuff after some of his big plays, I didn't like those either.  I just don't like it.

Hammer met nail. My thought exactly, rueben. No doubt it was showmanship and a penalty was deserved, but removing points is a little too extreme.

What happens when someone is blocked in the back on a touchdown run, do they not take away the points plus a yardage penalty from the point of the foul. This is a rule just as blocking in the back, there's a price to pay so don't do it.

[SUPERCOACH]

What happens if you block someone in the back on the way to a touchdown, do they not take away the points plus a yardage penalty. This is a rule just as blocking in the back, there's a price to pay so don't do it.

Excellent point.  Block in the back is a judgement call too sometimes when the block comes from the side.

These players have to realize that it is a rule now and act accordingly, whether it's a good or bad rule, it's a rule.
