Ridiculous Celebration Penalties

[SUMG]

I've never seen so many ridiculous calls for celebrating.

Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson were all over the refs for it.

I didn't see the one of Georgia, but the one they called on LSU was horrible.

This most likely goes back to the celebration Georgia did in 2007 against Florida?

Take the LSU call, subtract the pointing to the sky part, and the running to the crowd part, and that was Georgia's "celebration".

Both calls were weak, but I suspect the second one was a make-up call to offset the first.

Im all for eliminating excessive celebration, but once again, the refs were overzealous in their calls. Purely pathetic. The flag on LSU was a make up call, but it was the right call considering how weak Georgia's was.

My gosh, it is totally rediculous now. The fans go crazy and have a good time. Look at the "excessive celebrations" on every college gameday telecast. Its what they want to create excitement! The players work their tails off to win and deliver a good/entertaining product. Taunting should not be allowed no. But come on, let the kids celebrate a good play.

Still say the worst unsportsmanlike call was the Hawaii Bowl in wither 2005 or 2006. Hawaii player was flagged for celebration. On his next TD, he simply wan to the end of the endzone, reached up and high fived a couple of fans, and they flagged that. But the one on Georgia yesterday rivals that.

I still say the worst was the one called on Stickler against Navy when he flashed the claw.

I think that was Dibrell.
