In regards to our noise in the stadium, it didn’t quite hit the fever pitch that it sometimes hits that makes a bigger differenceaucat wrote: ↑Sun Dec 14, 2025 11:02 amThis definitely needs attention, no matter what the cause. You can't get a five yard penalty when you are on the one yard line. Also, we had a packed stadium screaming yet I don't recall SFA ever having any trouble. No false starts. I guess we need to scream louder.
I also recall some stupid penalties, like once our DB grabbing a face mask, another one was holding well away from where the runner was.
These mistakes can cost you a ball game in a close game. We gotta bring our A game Saturday and that goes for the fans as well. Grab up every ticket and then yell your head off.
How the Hell?

Re: How the Hell?
The fans I interacted with as well as the coaches interviews I thought they were pretty classy. I think any player on any team pushes the rules and gets away with whatever they can. The refs need to be better and call that and put a stop to it. Just like when we were younger holding Was completely different than what it is today and what the refs call.PapaG wrote: ↑Sun Dec 14, 2025 11:06 amI thought it was bush league and a reflection of their program, but everyone else here wanted to give SFA kudos for being classy and such so I dropped it.
If it’s being coached, that’s BS to me. If it isn’t, after the first penalty yesterday their coach should tell the defense to stop that goofy nonsense ASAP because it’s against the rules and it makes your team look like cheaters.
Either way I don’t respect their head coach for condoning it, which it’s clear he does and makes his team look weak IMO.

Re: How the Hell?
The snap count thing was coached. Yale did it a few times and after they got flagged for it, they stopped. SFA did it multiple times until they got penalized and then kept it up until they got flagged again in the second half.
I’m a little with PapaG on this one. It’s bush league and a cheap way to gain an advantage.

You can't blame Jefferson jumping every single week on SFA. Maybe the TEs but not he OL. It's been a problem all season (not just Jefferson but he seems to be the most consistent offender).
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

Agree on Jefferson. I always assume the false start penalty is on him.coloradocat wrote: ↑Sun Dec 14, 2025 12:25 pmYou can't blame Jefferson jumping every single week on SFA.

Well that's easy to fix. Start the play on "Gris suck!"BOBCATBORN wrote: ↑Sat Dec 13, 2025 5:26 pmMost teams have more class than that. It’s a lowly attempt to get penalties. You can see teams like the Gris doing itBFcatfan wrote: ↑Sat Dec 13, 2025 5:23 pmI’m no wizard here but isn’t there a different way to make that not happen and why all the sudden is this an issue. Because if it’s that easy why don’t all teams do it. Lack of focus by our O line maybe. Call me stupid but having an hard time understanding how that happens.
Seriously, though - how do you combat that?
