THE CURIOUS INDEX, 2/12/10

PrintThis has nothing to do with any of the items discussed below. Watch it anyway.
YOUR BUTTOCKS ARE IMPUDENTLY JIGGLING 15 YARDS AND CANCELLATION OF SCORE. The Polish Diet of the 17th and 18th century gave each member of the Diet the right to "explode" the diet, veto power meaning one person's objection could dissolve the entire body. This explains many things, including how the Republic of Poland managed to disappear completely, but it does merit consideration for the NCAA Rules Committee, whose one sensible member could prevent the endless bleaching of the game of any color whatsoever by voting for its own dismissal and destruction.
This year's inanity: penalizing players 15 yards and canceling scores for in-play taunting, meaning you can no longer high-step, shimmy, sashay, jiggle your buttocks impudently, run in an overly upright manner, carry the ball in a sassy hold, or do anything resembling "show 'em your tail lights, son." Mike Bellotti, former Oregon coach now dedicated to turning college football players into Tennessee Walking Horses of uniform gait, behavior, and dress, says:
"Taunting and prolonged individual acts have no place in our game, and our officials have generally handled these rules well," said former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti, the committee chair. "This is just another step in maintaining our game's image and reflecting the ideals of the NCAA overall."
The ideals of doing things for no reason whatsoever, or perhaps of just doing them to small programs. A quick review of common sense: teams write their own checks on the field with their behavior. Outside of injurious or dirty behavior and behavior delaying the game, they determine how things run. The same pin-dicked bastards responsible for whining about running up the score are the same white-gloved goatfuckers who think this is a good idea: namely that you should enforce good behavior from the top-down rather than letting a posturing wideout do his highstep into the endzone, and then jacking him in the chest with a hurtling safety on the next play to ensure he doesn't do that again.
None of this has anything to do with the actual players playing the game on the field. Teams should control how the game is played on the field, and the referee should be a pleasant afterthought. More rules yield more thinking by officials, and no more so than when they are asked to evaluate the very subjective issue of content. If you think this isn't the bitterest of sports comedies now, wait until you give very white SEC officials the authority to revoke a score based on the behavior of VERY EXCITED 18-22 year old predominantly black football players. His braids were provoking the other team, coach. I had to throw the flag.
Additional somewhat less terrible proposals:
-Television monitors will be allowed in the press box coaches' booths beginning in 2011. The home team has responsibility for insuring that coaches' booths for both teams have identical television capability.
-Requiring players who wear "eye black" to use solid black with no words, logos, numbers or other symbols. That will be effective next season.
-Ending the requirement that players' pants always cover the knees.
-Eliminating the intentional "wedge" on kickoffs and punts, a rule the NFL adopted last season.
-Recommending conferences that do not have a pregame warm-up policy use a 10-yard, no-player zone between the 45-yard lines beginning 60 minutes before kickoff.
Our dreams of a radical Muslim who puts verses in Arabic on his eyeblack are forever dashed. To summarize: The NCAA Rules Committee should explode itself, literally or figuratively, and cut and paste this word 100 times for the extended remix of our opinion on the rule.
BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT
EXHIBIT A: Doc Saturday opines that this is the No Fun League creeping in, but the point needs to be made that this proposal is far stricter than what the NFL enforces for their players. Tracey Porter's game-clinching INT in the Super Bowl would most likely have come back under the college rules since he dared to point at Saints fans in the stands on the way into the endzone, a kind of gesture NFL players routinely get away with in the course of gameplay. You're out Goodell-ing Goodell at this point, an extreme we didn't think possible until this rule.
AND SPEAKING OF THINGS THE NCAA SHOULD BE DOING RATHER THAN LEGISLATING SHIMMY: At least attempting to stopteams in the state of Alabama from signing an entire class more over a four year span than other teams?
3. Do you get the feeling there is a different set of NCAA rules in the state of Alabama than there is in Georgia? Over the last four years, Alabama has signed 11o football players to letters-of-intent. Auburn has signed 119. Over the same period, Georgia has signed 86 and Georgia Tech 79. The difference therein is equal to more than an entire year’s recruiting class.
This is Chip Towers getting in on Brian Cook's stomping grounds, but it comes down to non-qualifying and the unspoken process of running players off who won't/can't compete. Whatever the reasons, it doesn't look good, and that can't be greyshirted or medical redshirted away. Hey, now that Ian Rapaport is gone, someone else needs to stand up and get flayed by Nick Saban's death ray eyes while asking about this.
CAN YOU TIE THE UCF PROBATION TO LANE KIFFIN? You betcha, yup, most certainly, and indubitably, yes.
WE KNEW IT. Ohio State recruiting suffered this year for a reason: sex slaves unavailable due to the Feds busting up the fun.

I wonder what Schnelly thinks about all this…
Managing Editor/Chief Lackey-And The Valley Shook
what a joke
This is a freaking pathetic joke and the committee that approves these type things would be wise to deny it. I’m not a huge fan of the egregious pre-TD celebrations but to take away a touchdown when a guy like Spiller, Harvin or Best etc gets loose and is 15 yards in the clear and points, slows down or struts is penalyzing a coach and a player for just being better.
Everyone isn’t the robot Barry Sanders and scoring a TD is a big deal regardless of how often a guy gets in the endzone.
Why don’t they focus on getting a fucking camera on the goalline to decide if a ball crosses the plane instead of trying to literally choke off the enthusiasm. They’ve already gave the officials “judgement bullets” that cost teams major moments (LSU-UGA 09 and BYU-UW 08 anyone?).
Giving a team that gave up a long pass, run, kick or punt return an extra chance to stop the scoring is absolutely ridiculous. This is pathetic.
“Hey, great pass McElroy you hit Julio Jones wide open on the sideline. He caught it at the 20 and walked it in on Auburn. For that execution you get the ball at the 35”
Fucking stupid.

Golf clapping only allowed after the home team scores a touchdown. No yelling while the home team is on defense, it’s not fair for the opposing team. And we all know, NCAA football is all about fairness.

Good Point but...
anything The U and not horrible in the same sentence is inaccurate. The biggest ball buster is
“This is just another step in maintaining our game’s image and reflecting the ideals of the NCAA overall”
How does penalizing Micheal Irvin wannabes reflect looking the other way on Reggie Bush. You can make a change this quick but sit on Bush’s 300 large for a decade? There’s your fucking NCAA ideal / image.
In the first week of NFL action this year, the Denver Broncos beat the Cincinnati Bengals on a last-minute TD.
In that play, Brandon Stokley caught a tipped pass in a happenstance situation that ended up putting him well clear of any defender. With time winding down on the clock, Stokley didn’t run full-bore into the end zone, Instead, he ran parallel to the goal line until the Bengals finally came within about ten yards of him. Then he finally crossed the line for the go-ahead score. In doing so, he ran several precious second off the clock, further reducing the Bengals’ very slim hopes for a touchdown of their own.
It was a maneuver that made perfectly tactical sense and was absolutely the right thing to do. But with a rule like this, an official could interpret the move as a form of a taunt, thereby negating a brilliant on-the-fly decision and handing the game to the other team. At some point in time, such a decision will eventually get made by the officials.
Toledo is closer to Ann Arbor
Yet we won the border dispute. Rich Rod seems more the human trafficking type than Tressel.
I wish the committee on rules woould forget the petty shit and give us back the 7-15 plays they stole from us, the CFB fans, when they changed the clock rules. More football, fewer commercials. Is ESPN running this show? These officials can’t recognize holding, much less determining whether too much celebration occurs.

Likewise (New year)
I ended up in great shape in the Bowl Games. I was up somewhere in the mid three digits overall for the football year. MMA put me up quite a big as some big bets paid for me and pushed me to somewhere in the range of $1850 for 2009 (not to shabby considering my bankroll on Jan 1 was only $900).
As a Dawg/Seahawk I was pretty stoked to pull Petey away from SC, but Kiffin is a wild card so who knows.
Cal game hurt quite a bit, just no passion with that team on the road. Ugh…we were gonna ram it down everyone’s throats, then that nasty little lack of leadership jumped up and bit our asses.

Subcommandante Wayne
Is upset at these developments in Ohio. Who can he date now that this has happened?
Kids these days...no respect.
God, the NCAA sucks puppy balls. Orson is 110% correct that nonsensery on the field should be punished with spine-crushing hits from large, angry linebackers.
I think the area codes/Bible verses/epic poems on the eye black are moronic, but outlawing moronic behavior is simply un-American. What I would give to see an ND player display the kind of intensity that leads to 15-yard penalties, instead of passively jiggling around the field like it’s a fucking jazzercise class.

I concur with Ancient Chinese Secret…every single word. Especially the bit about spine-crushing hits.
The one thing I don’t get, though, are the references to the “No Fun League”. I remember the NFL stamping out the excessive team touchdown celebrations years ago—when they had gotten excessive, even game-delayingly so—and the nickname coming into use then. But whenever I’ve caught some of an NFL game more recently I’ve seen nothing but flexing, taunting, and other idiot behavior on the part of some players, not just after big plays but after every single tackle or two-yard gain they make.
I don’t think the NCAA needs to tighten the screws any farther—and in fact could stand to loosen them a little—precisely because because college ball is already so much better than the pros in terms of, er, “professional” behavior on the field.

Typical.
The only thing that saved Florida from a potential loss – in the swamp – to Vanderbilt back in (I think) 2005 was a “taunting” call for the most innocuous shoulder-wiggle I have ever seen in my life. Which scotched the possibility of a 2-point conversion to win and left it with overtime instead, and since we are Vanderbilt, that doesn’t work out too well for us.
Blow it up. Blow it all up. Have the top 50 teams or so peel off and tell the NCAA to go scratch, and Indianapolis can spend all its time inflicting its 1930s white guy nostalgia on hapless D-3 programs while the rest of us enjoy the 21st century.

Thanks, tafkastosub
Georgia coach Mark Richt refuses to oversign for two reasons. First, he wouldn’t want to run out of scholarships for qualified players. Second, he would not want to run off current players who have eligibility remaining to keep the Bulldogs under the 85-scholarship limit. “We could always get into a situation where we oversign, but there’s no way I could look at a kid and his parents and say, ‘We had some room, but now we really don’t.’ I just think you have to be careful,” Richt told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Signing Day. “I don’t want to oversign, then tell one of the kids we’ve already got, ’You’ve got no value to us’ and toss him aside. I’m not going to do that.”
Other coaches – who have had more success than Richt – treat NCAAF much more like a professional league. For all his faults, this is one area where I think Ko Rick conforms to a value set appropriate to higher education and I’m glad he coaches my team. Despite the fact that others, again, with more “business” oriented approaches (as opposed to a “education” orientation) will inevitably win more. Honestly, I don’t have a problem with that.

This is the reason GT left the SEC
Well, the primary one. Saban is just acting in the fine tradition of the Bear. Dodd felt that a scholarship was a 4 year commitment on the part of GT and if the player didnt work out, it was Dodd’s mistake in scouting. Pulling the scholarship of a player who hasnt flunked out or seriously violated team rules is wrong. Not developing as a player isnt a violation of team rules.
On a related note, I dont think schools should be allowed to offer scholarships until the player has preliminary* approval from the NCAA clearinghouse. If you dont have your test scores by Feb, you dont get to sign on national signing day. If you want to be offered and commit in spring of your junior year, then you better take your SAT/ACT early.
*cant be finalized until final grades are in and they actually graduate high school.
Let's wait an see after a few more years...
…I’d bet that BAMA’s numbers go down. Saban walked into a mess. Many of the players on the team he inherited had to be kicked to the curb because of character issues. We had one non-qualifier last year and might have one this year. Shula and his predecessors were horrible at player evaluation, so we had many non-quals under them. So far none of Saban’s signees have been asked to leave. He has only had a few non-quals and grey-shirted others, which counts against the next years total.
As far as the tradition of Bear, he didn’t break any rules by signing as many as he could get. Face facts people, college football is a business. If you want true student-athletes, drop out of the NCAA and start an intramural team.
Auburn and Tennessee fans are a lot like Slinkys...neither are worth much but you do get a sense of satisfaction from pushing them down a flight of stairs
I love the "Shula" excuse...
And of course Shula’s excuse for not winning was the scholarship limitations. If the university had a backbone and stood for integrity, they would not have allowed Shula to recruit the kind of kids he did nor would they allow Saban to oversign as much as he has…where is Mal Moore on this? Nowhere! Why? Because all that matters in Tuscaloosa is winning the NC…no matter what the costs.
Saban’s number will not go down…and there is no supporting evidence of this. His last 7 college recruiting classes were 25 players or more. We all saw what Saban can do with a level playing field (see Miami); and why couldn’t Saban turn Michigan State into a championship winning, powerhouse? One reason is that he couldn’t oversign and get rid of players with the ease he can in the SEC.
And the whiney bitch shows up
Welcome back, TOSU. I thought I caught a faint whiff of “My team can’t win so I’m going to whine about everyone else!”.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone that is a bigger titty baby than you.
People in the SEC play by all the same rules that everyone else in the NCAA plays by. You can only enroll 25 players, and you can only have 85 total. That’s it.
A scholarship isn’t like the fucking lottery. You don’t get to keep it for all time regardless of your actions. If a kid wants to fuck up, why should the school keep paying for him to go to school?
I’m guessing that Ohio State has never cut a player in the entire history of the football there, right? And they’ve never had a kid not qualify, right?
It is a fucking joke. You’re worse than that dickbag that runs the Big 10. “We can’t compete because the players they recruit aren’t literate and we can only get valedictorians in the Big 10.”
The limit of 28 is fine. The NCAA adopted it. If the Big 10 wants to hamstring themselves by further reducing the number, it’s their fucking conference, they can lose to whomever they want.

Thus I can only assume it will be implemented immediately.
Truth, sadly
I can only hope there’s an egregious fuck-up in the enforcement of this rule to the point that the NCAA realizes “wait, what the fuck were we thinking” and repeals it a la Hated Rule 3-2-5(e) (the first incarnation of the clock rule changes).

I’d like to see that game-scoring TD called back say, when LSU does it at home playing Alabama in the 4th quarter. What ref in their right mind is going to do that?
I bet if an LSU player got a game-winning interception runback and had 20 yards to taunt at night in Baton Rouge, he could mock himself eating alligator and crawfish from the 15 yard line in and no ref would call that, at least no ref with a will to live.

As for the celebration rule...
I can see an SEC official calling back a game winning play because of excessive celebration… once. I would imagine that the rest of the officials would get the hint when they show up at the stadium that those sort of shenanigans won’t be tolerated by the disembodied heads on pikes that greet the officials at the entrance.
There is no way the ref could be that stupid. I’m pretty sure Saban would be arrested for breaking his foot off in the head ref’s ass.
What I want to see
is for the guy “taunting” during a play (leading to a flag) to get totally blindsided after it. Something that will draw an immediate unsportsmanlike conduct for the other side.
The 15 yards offset, and everybody gets their blood pressure up. That taunting flag sounds like a free pass for some viscous hits.
It never gets to be easy
