I am not really in favor of showboating. But anyone who defends that silly call . . . really, take a look again . . . needs to re-evaluate their life. It's literally the dumbest call I've seen in my many decades of watching college football.

I'd agree with this except I watched them hit Jake Locker with a taunting penalty for tossing the ball backwards over his shoulder.

I think the lesson we've learned here is, referees as a group really aren't intelligent enough to have interpretation of "taunting" placed in their hands. You write the rule and the dudes go into letter of the law mode that negates all rationality.
