TCU defends Kenny Hill's TD celebration

[warhog38]

I’m actually going to give Hill the benefit of the doubt and at the least say a throat slash was not his intent. Like a few here, I too looked up the sign for “rising king” and what Hill signed did look similar. BUT, if you go strictly by the eye test in split second, it’s easy to see why one would think that is a throat slash. I’ve seen multiple TCU fans say he does this everytime he scores and that’s fine. BUT, why would you do something that can potentially harm your team? I understand wanting to express your faith, so I give him a pass, but it was still foolish in that instance.

Just watched replay of game and after his demonstration and he received the penalty it shows him on the sideline acting like it was no big deal he got the penalty. You would think if you had actually given the Rising King sign you or your coaches would be pleading your case but that didn’t happen until the game was over. So I think it was exactly what everyone that saw it thought it was. WPS

They were ahead by 8 with time running down in the 4th quarter and the Hogs had done absolutely nothing since a short FG had been missed by them earlier in that 4th. TCU was on a 21 point run. Hill or Patterson didn’t give a hoot or have any worries immediately after that un-sportsman like conduct penalty was called. The outcome of the game and Hill the goat of the game with the bad attitude caused all the hyperactive excuses being drummed up. It is humorous from our side of the fence as Hog fans. Slashing too early and grossly mistaken.

Maybe Patterson was thinking if he didn’t back up his QB he might cut and run to another school as he has previously. As Yogi said “It ain’t over till it’s over” seems to be a hard lesson to learn because some head coach gets to experience this every season. WPS

It was the slash; revisionist history. Give me a break!

It doesn’t matter whether it was a slash, rising king, or sun-setting on mohammad. By rule, it is a penalty and should have been called. Yellow laundry has been thrown for less. You do something to celebrate like that, it is a penalty; end of story. If you score and flex (if I remember correctly, that is what Collins did; ONCE), penalty flag. If you score and run over and high five the mascot, penalty flag. So, there really is no defense for what he did. This wasn’t his first college game. He knows the rules. He just chose to break the rule. If he has been doing it and it hasn’t been called, that’s on the officials and the coaches for not stopping it.

Correct, Mr Collins was schooled early on that and it stuck.
Also CBB mentioned A Allen spiking the ball after he scored the winning TD. Was told not to do that again.

Yep, but because the game was over the instant he crossed the goal line, no penalty.

Coincidentally, I was watching a YouTube video tonight of best football trick plays. It included the Statue of Liberty play Boise State ran in overtime to beat Paperclip U in the Fiesta Bowl a few years back. When the Boise back got into the end zone, he fired the ball into the stands. Again, since the game was over when he crossed the goal line, no flag.

I agree with you all… the game was over, so no flag. But the game was technically over when OK St’s QB heaved the ball OB as time expired. So, I agree with Coach B as well. Take no chances. Nip it! Nip it in the bud! Hopefully AA got the message… I am confident that he did.

No, the game was over when the OSU pass landed out of bounds, not when he threw it. And that would have been true even if the clock had hit zero before he let go; the game ends in that case when the final play ends. Since the play was still in progress, so was the game. Any touchdown play ends when the ball crosses the goal line, but since it was overtime and we trailed by 3, crossing the goal line also ended the game.

You put the period inside the bracket, so the italics failed. If you had done it like this
<em>Test.</em>
You would have gotten Test.

OH, - - - THAT REMINDS ME!! Speaking of “tests”, - - - I just remembered that tomorrow is my annual physical. I’ll be up all night studying for my urine test.

Stay away from Mud and Pork, you’d fail for sure.

[logic]

Of course he would so that in not surprising.

[hoodoohog]

Patterson is a whiny little loser.
And Hill is just his usual Trill self.
