T Bob's helmet toss

A lot of chatter regarding T bob throwing his helmet and how that should have been a penalty.
Question for you all - might the reason be that it was not flagged was because time had run out already (in the case of both helemt tosses)?

In any case he needs to keep his helmet on.

maybe UT should get another penalty for running on the field

i say no. he was following his head coach who it appears never played with his on.

Leave T Bob alone and be glad that he snapped the ball.

And missing in all this is acknowledging T-Bob's right to slam his helmet to the ground. It was certainly a mistake - players make those. But he earned the right to make it.

How many times do I have to show it?
LINK
UT players on the field with NO HELMET on PRIOR to T-Bob taking his helmet off. ALSO UT player #42 spikes his helmet to the ground as well at the same time. Call a penalty or not the game was thought to be over but if you call the penalty its offsetting post play infractions and still a penalty for the 13 men on the field and the same play occurs from the same spot.

Same situation as Mount Fat arse last year during the Gump/UT game. Time had run out hence no penalty.

That is exactly why. The ref had signaled the game over on the field and Tennessee has no argument here at all.
The win was ugly but the right calls were made. The refs did the right thing and it just happen to suck for Tennessee. The game can not end on a penalty that is not a dead ball foul and that was not a dead ball foul. You can't allow the other team to have 13 men on the field and that is just the rules. I know it sucked for Tennessee and that was a tough loss for them as it would be for anybody but they lost and the right call was made on the field.

The reason it wasn't called is because technically, the play never happened due to the illegal participation.
Posted on 10/4/10 at 7:53 am to Bayou
I thought the same thing Bayou. Not sure if time expiring didn't have a lot to do with the no call.
Posted on 10/4/10 at 9:06 am to Bayou
T Bob should get the game ball.
Posted on 10/4/10 at 9:09 am to Bayou
lucky, lucky, lucky. but then again - when have we not been?
Posted on 10/4/10 at 9:17 am to Bayou
Unsung hero for snapping the ball....
Posted on 10/4/10 at 11:11 am to Bayou
Same question came up last year when the 'Bama guy took off his helmet on the field to celebrate blocking the game-winning fg attempt by UT. The explanation given then was game over so it did not matter. I've never seen that penalty called after time has expired fwiw. Have seen it several times(including '07 against LSU)in the past during a game.

Who are the dumbasses chatting about that?
The game was over.
Hell, half the UT players were throwing their helmets.
And how can some of you say he made a mistake?
Since when is a player required to wear their helmet into the locker room after a game ends?

Two tennessee players threw their helmets as well. Would that not have been offsetting penalties?
Posted on 10/4/10 at 1:22 pm to Bayou
Tennessee threw as many helmets as LSU.

I haven't read the entire thread, so my apologies in it's already been posted. But Rogers Redding was interviewed this morning on ATL radio and explained the rule. Said that the point of the rule is geared towards actions that happen throughout the game (i.e. fights, touchdown celebrations with time to play, etc.) He said that it was never their intention to throw a flag for the emotional reaction after winning a game, as they were not going to play that kind of factor. That has been his stance, and that is what he expects out of the officials going forward.
I look at it kind of like Auburn's drinking on campus during football games. It is illegal to drink on campus, but the cops don't care and you are not going to get busted for it as long as you stay within certain boundaries.
Hope this helps, and sorry if already posted.

I give it a 6 for accuracy.
