I do respect RPI really as much as I feel I can.

I MUST remember that line the next time a girl asks me if I'll respect her in the morning.

Has that ever happened?

[Jonny Utah]

Exactly U89

And about above, I can't remember if the Union players actually gave the finger, but I remember them turning around and kind of taunting the crowd.  (of course the left side of the stands were Ithaca fans and were taunting them as well)

Alright, I guess here comes Mr. Negative.....

Unsportsmanlike penalties are NEVER acceptable....EVER.....Union gets alot and has to get contol of them!!

Racial slurs are unacceptable, but if a an MMA uses them all game, are you going to take a penalty on every play and lose the game!!  I'm sorry my mom has been called names during a game, and I have never thrown a punch.....it's called composure, and if you don't have it....quit the game.

Daltin-Yedlin was a total stud for Union years ago, but during a game, tossed the bird at many Ithaca fans as Union closed out the game.......Utah, true??

Specials killed us again on Saturday......Unsportsmanlikes have killed and embarassed us over the passed 5 years.....cut the crap and play the game like the class program we are......

Congrats to RPI.

(As always  ), I agree wholeheartedly with U89.

It's funny, I've been thinking about all the different rules outlawing hits.  There are general rules, e.g. any hit out of bounds, or any hit after the whistle.  There are specific rules, e.g. helmet-helmet, below the waist downfield, or on the quarterback after he releases the ball.

But there are no rules about bad words.  The only one that comes close is unsportsmanlike conduct, which can properly apply to racist b.s.  But it's up to the officials to enforce all of those rules, not the players.

Im 99% sure there are rules on "bad words".  Its a 15 yard penalty.  But you are right about the officials having to enforce them.  But the rule is there.  I think I was in college when the swear rule was added too. 

I'm guessing that the rules concerning "bad words" are simply definitions of what qualifies as unsportsmanlike conduct.

OTOH, there are specific penalties for specific types of hits.  "Illegal block in the back" comes to mind.  "Roughing the passer," and "roughing the kicker," too.  But there are no penalties that are directed solely to spewing vile racist or anti-semitic or anti-ethnic or anti-establishment speech.

Rule 9 Section 2/a/1

"no player, coach...shall use abusive, threatening or obscene language or gestures or engage in such acts that provoke ill will or are demeaning to an opponent, to game officials or to the image of the game, including but not limited to:......"

Penalty:

"15 yards from succeding spot.....flagrant offenders, if players or substitutes, shall be disqualified......"

Sounds like its kind of up to the refs to determine what to call and what action to take.

[Regulator]

I don't want to respond to Reno's post, however, no posters from RPI ever called anyone from Union "Classless".  Give me a break dude.....

Reg, Gro & LD are classless.........Utah is classless too.....

[Regulator]

This is alot like the reason the Reg vowed never to return the the shoes game......can you see why?

Name calling?

Out of control accusations?

Ladies with cowbells that won't shut up

So when the referee turns on his microphone and faces the camera, he announces

"Violation of Rule 9 Section 2/a/1, number 77 on the offense, 15 yards. Repeat first down."

I like BenJarvus Green-Ellis too.  4th string?  This kid is good and fantasy players around the country are thinking about him.....

And the colts just went for 2 to make it 15-12, Dungy must have Coach King on speed dial.

No, he doesn't.  He says "unsportsmanlike conduct," just as I guessed.

Nice citation, it made it easy to look it up.
