Celebration penalty strikes again

[Emerson1]

Jonathan Gray got flagged for it. Started high stepping at about the 10. It lead to him getting ejected because it was his second unsportsmanlike

[Tin Cup]

Can he play next week?

[Pudlugger]

What a dunce.

[BaseballUmp]

[zebrablue2]

Now this is the correct call. Unlike that Edna call.

Was it? Did not see anything to throw a flag

[kaorder1999]

specifically says in rules that altering your regular running stride as you approach the end zone is a penalty

Thought he altered his stride approaching the opponents GL?

[kaorder1999]

He broke 1 (A) and (E)...pretty obvious

Yup, pretty easy one to call. All his TD's, you'd think he'd act like he's been there before. :)

[Saggy Aggie]

Was it? Did not see anything to throw a flag your head must be in the dirt. I'm not a fan of the rule, but according to the rules... its clearly a penalty.

[YTBulldogs]

What was his first ULC foul for?

[3afan]

What was his first ULC foul for?

I read it was for making a throat slashing gesture

[YTBulldogs]

What the....? I didn't think he was like this honestly. Last year at state, he was respectful on what was it, 12 TD's he scored. Least it seemed like it.

Sadler spoiled me on how a record holder should act. :)

[kaorder1999]

correct

[StangEm]

Shows the character of the kid pretty well......IMO

[regaleagle]

I'm certain by now the coaching staff has made sure he has read the rules over and over again. Just got the 'big head' so much that he doesn't really care when the game's out of reach. Thinks HE should be praised above all, and wants to show everyone how great HE is, despite the consequences. I hope he gets his clocked cleaned by some big linebacker when he's not looking.

[regaleagle]

"clocked cleaned", er....clock cleaned. Do clocks get cleaned anymore???

if you saw the tv broadcast of the game, when he got to the sideline the aledo head coach let gray know what he thought of the whole thing...

Guess he's a slow learner then. 2 ULC in the same game.

well, in the tv broadcast the announcers (maybe they were just talking out of their asses) said that he did that on most of his scores this year but never got called on it, so why would he think there would be a penalty now?...

guess there were finally some officials who knew the rules and called the game accordingly??
either way, it didn't have any effect on the game...


he was also yelling and taunting the stephenville team/crowd as they ran in for half time...
also threw a fit on a 4th and short when they decided to pooch punt instead of give him the ball....

[GrTigers6]

What was his first ULC foul for?Throat slashing( Automatic UNC penalty)

awww, guess he is that type of player after all. :( Shame.

[Old Tiger]

I don't understand why they called the penalty on the second touchdown. He wasn't showing no one up or taunting. He's done that high step in all season and just because it was against Stephenville they hit him with that penalty.

He's done that high step in all season and just because it was against Stephenville they hit him with that penalty.That is exactly what is in the rule book as a penalty. Obviously altering his stride. He knew the rule amd broke it twice. Its that simple.
