This is Thursday, right? I think I need to expand my already extensive ignore list.
F*CK IOWA
- Thread starter FallOf81
- Start date
It also didn't help that he was drafted by the biggest NFL dumpster fire of an organization at the time.
Which he never did. He leapt into the gap and then got blocked in the side of his body by the Minny player. He never leapt "over" anyone.
You are a big Iowa football fan.
The good news for you is you won't have to worry about officiating soon. KU hoops starts in a couple weeks!
The rule doesn't say over, it says "directly above the frame of the player". He tried going for the gap but the Minnesota player had slid over before the Iowa player left his feet. The Iowa player leapt into the plane directly above the frame of the player. It doesn't need to be "over" to be a penalty.
Sure. That's why the Big 10 Conference admitted to Minnesota that they should have thrown the flag.
Yes, he's an Iowa football/Kansas basketball fan. Had a different screen name back in the day and then tried to rebrand as more neutral under Halincandenza
Because it's a giant conspiracy against Iowa
So, according to Iowa fans:
* DeJean never signaled, never even moved his arm
* Minnesota players never let up on their pursuit/contain since they knew he never signaled
* Iowa front line player never jumped forward to attempt to block the punt, he jumped straight up and down and Minnesota player moved in and undercut him
* PJ Fleck knew the play was valid and lied after the game
* B1G office and national officiating personnel are all incorrect in their analysis of the play
* Iowa fans were justified in throwing full water bottles and cans at Minnesota team and Iowa cheer squad
His left index finger is extended, so clearly he's pointing. DeJean was probably just pointing at a bee or other dangerous insect that was flying around so nobody got stung. Once it flew away and it was safe to do so, he picked up the ball and returned the kick.
Besides, who waives with just one finger? It doesn't make any sense. If you look at a screen shot, there's absolutely no motion at all. The rules say a waive below the head is an invalid fair catch signal, but they say nothing about pointing at dangerous things to alert your teammates during a kick.
As a lot of coaches do.....okay.
"If you look at the video, it looked like he was naturally running to the football"
Does that qualify?
That’s not what Capt Kirk said. Said they go over punt return signs in detail.
Denial is the first stage of grief. Those with a superiority complex are also prone to be conspiracy theorists.
LMAO pointing and swinging your hand back and forth is the very definition of a fire call. You are trying way too hard here.
I think the Iowa player "tried" leaping in the gap but it still was over the defender. The defender barely moved and was still able to easily get his shoulder and head over to the other side of the defender's midsection. Either way though, that would've been an interesting call to make.
Cooper waved his left hand. He waved it twice and it was quick and certainly not blatant, but that's why the rule is there. Even if you quickly wave your hand right before you make the fair catch, it's still a fair catch. The rule is in place so there is no grey area. You make a waving motion, you get the ball where it's downed or you catch it at. Simple as that.

Ole 13 beers deep Brasky apparently has better balance than a future NFL first round draft pick.
Iowa does this sh!t all the time along with jumping over the long snapper on FG/extra point attempts. It's amazing how rarely they get penalized for it.
