Those celebration calls in the LSU/Georgia game were awful! Guess the guys should just slink off the field after a touchdown.

#2 worst rule in NCAA in my opinion (ok in theory, awful in execution).

For the record, #1 is the 15 yd penalty for pass interference, instead of spot of the foul.

I have to admit that I LIKE a reduction in the Me, Me, Me celebrations of modern football players. IF I was
playing today, I would impress people with my lack of celebration as I walked back to the huddle. EVERYONE
in the stadium knows you did well, call me a sucker for an understater. That said, the celebrations that were
flagged were NOTHING. The ones I hate are the QB sacks or tackles near or behind the line where they flex out
and stomp and tromp around WASTING valuable energy that the TEAM needs for success. I call that selfish.

I agree with you, both about hating the outlandish celebrations for simple plays, and that the plays flagged in the game yesterday were nothing like that.
