Can someone please explain the Shep penality...........

[K2C Sooner]

where he showed the palms of his hands held high? I didn't get it. A Texas dl just recovered a Cal fumble and did basically the same thing without a flag.

 

[Section22Sooner]

Yeah, some pretty subjective rules. Shepard's penalty was nothing in comparison to things in this Texas game. But I must admit, the Cal TD where the Cal player flashed the upside-down Horns warmed my tender heart.

(Unrelated: That fake Texas injury was pussy football.)

Related to the unrelated, so much for Sorry Charlie's core value of honesty. That was shameful and dishonest and brought about by the "honest" core values staff.

Pussy is a light term. Dishonest douche gargler is more accurate. Pathetic.

If you do what Shepard did, sometimes you will get a penalty. Sometimes, you won't. Whether or not it is taunting is at the discretion of the official.

If I were a coach, I would bench anyone who did something that might get such a penalty for at least a couple of series. It can get you a penalty, and it isn't worth it.

I don't want arguments that it shouldn't be called. I want it stopped where it definitely will not be called.

A fine line between taunting and celebrating. I guess I need to rewatch the play. I just didn't see it. I understand the throat slash, etc.

Medic, I was looking for you an hour before kickoff today (at the Gomer Jones). But Goober Jones behind the front counter couldn't help me.

Ya'll talking about Shep's "gunshow" flex after that catch?

And what happened with the Texas fake injury? Was it to get a play stoppage??

 

[Section22Sooner]

BR, Texas was trying to avoid a substitution penalty. They motioned for him to go down.

Ha ha ha

 

[BillyRay]

Is this what ya'll are talking about in regards to what Shep did to draw a penatly?? Gotta be one of the lamest flags ever thrown....

 

[Section22Sooner]

Yes, that is the one. Horrible call. He had just been hammered good and came up with the ball.

I didn't work today. Thank goodness because after my shift Friday, I would have been in suicide assistance mode. I'll be on duty at 0700 Sunday.
