NCAA = NATIONAL CANDY-ASS ASSOCIATION?

Is it me?

NCAA = NATIONAL CANDY-ASS ASSOCIATION?

We KNEW Utah at So Cal crazy ending, Unsportsmanlike Spot-Foul controversy was #1 of an endless stream of distracting, ridiculous calls & banter.

The latest episode we all witnessed, the latest & greatest - LSU Punter Brad Wing's IMPROBABLE, once-in-a-lifetime fake & sprint into End Zone for TD - w/Wing exalting a LITTLE EARLY on his way into the End Zone.

'RULES are RULES', right?

For perspective, I just returned from witnessing a glorious afternoon of College Football - felt the ground shake under my feet from Sidelines of Reser Stadium while witnessing Student Athletes performing at the HIGHEST LEVEL possible; FCS-Level, Automatic Qualifier-Conference Game.

I also have the continued great privilege of spending treasured time instructing & coaching young athletes.

Not claiming to have some sort of self-important, authoritative 'license' on the matter - yet, I completely acknowledge that I am hopelessly partisan.

All the same, this all provides the utmost motivation to voice steadfast, sincere belief that this rule is an unadulterated farce

It truly angers me when Stuffed Shirt Rules Committee impose rule(s) like this simply because it does not fit their model of an athlete, 'Acting-Like-They've-Been-There-Before"

No logical reason or justification was offered for the dramatic, 2010 off-season extension of this rule, besides the obvious:   The sight of a young people - particularly brash, confident kids having TOO MUCH Fun just gets under certain folk's skin.

Therefore - as we knew would continue to occur, a SPOT FOUL, CELEBRATION NEGATED A TOUCHDOWN SCORED

THIS RULE (Not the call) IS ABSOLUTE 'B.S'.

OVERTURNING a SCORE, & POTENTIALLY, DISTINCTLY ALTERING THE ENTIRE COURSE/OUTCOME OF A GAME?

I BELIEVE MOST PEOPLE WOULD CERTAINLY APPROVE OF CLEARING A TEAMS' POINTS IF/WHEN SOMEONE WAS or WOULD POTENTIALLY BE INJURED due to GROSS UNSPORTSMANLIKE PLAY.

OF COURSE, take the points off the board & toss the DB.

YET, WIPING POINTS FROM A TRIVIAL CELEBRATION?

Because a Kid is keyed up & celebrates a moment too soon, and/or launches, mid-air summersault into End Zone?

A Kid celebrates 5-10-15 Yards before scoring….

A Spot Foul?

Again I ask......Is it ME?

STILL SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE this was DISCUSSED….much less, PASSED & IMPLEMENTED.

I honestly HOPE & PRAY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES THIS AS A MOCKERY.

A 15-Yard Penalty on the Ensuing Kickoff is DEFINITELY ENOUGH TO ENSURE LES MILES or any other Coach WILL HAVE THAT KID RUNNING GASSERS TOMORROW EITHER WAY.

When a band of salty, 'Do-Gooders' alter the game to this extent?

It's a tale as old as time - & I sincerely MUST voice my opposition,

The RULE is Baloney.

And, lemme tell ya somethin, Pops', jus 'cause a kid does not politely hand the ball to Mr. Official upon entering the end zone, does not mean the kid is not a respectful individual.

THESE YOUNG PEOPLE WORK THEIR ASSES OFF TO GET TO THIS LEVEL, & DAMN WELL DESERVE TO HAVE FUN WHILST PLAYING THEIR GM.

This stuff really burns my ass

Rant over.

& BEAVERS WIN!
