Unsportsmanlike penalty at the end of the game

This type of penalty when no one is taunting the opponent is ridiculous. Legislating the joy out of football is a goddam disgrace. That 15 yards could have been deadly.

This type of penalty is for taunting and EXCESSIVE celebration. It's infamously named the MIAMI RULE. dUh. Also, that yellow flag is a HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE judgement call and all that. For instance, I've seen several teams CELEBRATE more than Miami, yet have NEVER been called for a penalty. Go figure.

I don't understand why FSU didn't have some razzle dazzle multi-lateral Duke-esque kickoff return strategy. Dude took the kick and ran into a crowd.

The dude also had an UNCOVERED teammate to his right side. Ouch. But in a moment of desperation all kind of chit can happen. Be it positive or negative.

This is actually a great point. I think FSU ST coach was such in shock and so was the team that they couldnt snap out of it and rally his team enough to even orchestrate something like we did against Duke 2 years ago. They thought they had us after they scored with 1min left... The coaching staff had the mentality that the game was over. So the players took on that same attitude. And when we scored..they were phucked mentally. JMO.

Voila! I think the players were more STUNNED than Good Ol' Boy Jimbo.

I think you're digging too deep. I think the simple reason is that some folks are just **** stupid. LOL I've mentioned this for as long as I can remember, but I've never understood how cats simply get tackled on plays like that. I was like a proud father watching that Arkansas game a couple of years back where dude literally just flung the ball backwards over his head not knowing who would actually get the ball, but knowing there was no way in **** he was going to be tackled WITH the ball in his hands.

If I'm the coach it's pretty simple. Listen guys, the game may end on a scoop and score, the game may end with the other team simply pouncing on the ball, but there's no way in **** this game should end with one of you getting tackled or getting knocked out of bounds with the ball in your hands.

Good point, they ended the game with the ball and still had TO's remaining, why not call a TO and try to set up some sort of return?

True, but you shouldn't even need to use a timeout. Every team should have a strategy for that exact situation. Miami (FL) was a team in complete coaching disarray at the Duke game, and they had a strategy in place for that situation. FSU, with a national championship coach, had none? It's weird.
 
Funny if you watch the TD throw from the other thread you see, what I believe, is the back judge immediately throw his flag just seconds after Miami scores...douchbag
