Penalties

[Blue & Gold]

Per The Buchtelite, The University of Akron's football team leads all of D-1 football in penalties! When I read that I was truly dismayed, but far from surprised. What worries me even more is this quote I was disappointed to read from JD: "We keep getting answers back (from the MAC), that say 'No that was not holding, it shouldn't have been called," Brookhart said. "We are not a 10 penalty a game team."IMHO that's a bullcrap answer! JD needs to quit apologizing for his underperforming squad and start whipping them into mental shape for next season! Take a lesson from our basketball coach! Dambrot would have had NONE of that! KD would have busted some heads and planted butts firmly on the bench for many of the knuckle-headed plays some of our football players got away with ALL YEAR LONG! During a televised OSU game (Illinois?), after an untimely OSU penalty, the announcer commented, "That is uncharacteristic of a Tressel-coached ballclub." I wish the same could be said for the Zips. Untimely penalties almost came to be expected of us this season. Ya can't win that way fellas.

Were 98% of the penalties on Crouch?

The way it is going, if Akron were to be on the ESPN 2 MAC game of the week, all star announcers Mark May and Lou "spittin" Holtz would call a kick return like this."Harvey has a seam. He's heading up field. What a return! 58 yards up the middle. No flags on the play. Hmm, that's rather uncharacteristic of a Brookhart coached team."(insert spitting inbetween every other word if Holtz was saying that)

so i guess when our o-line goes up the feild before the snap it's not offsides,or when our o-line pulls the guy down from behind it's not holding. from what i have seen of the games there is no way he can make excuses.

No, actually I think it would go something like this:"Harvey has a seam. He's heading up field. Man, did you see that OSU-Michigan match-up? What a game! I think the key to the Buckeye's season is.......<<5 minutes later>>>....What a return! 58 yards up the middle. No flags on the play. Hmm, that's rather uncharacteristic of a Brookhart coached team."

Nice touch. I could also see it going:Mark May -"And the punt to Harvey. Remember how Michigan didn't really want to punt to Ted Ginn? Ginn really didn't ... (insert 5-10 minutes of OSU-Michigan replays) ... wait, there is a game going on below us. Lou who is playing?" Lou Holtz - "*spit* i don't remember *spit* Notre Dame is a great team. I like *spit* green"Mark May - "Why are we in Ack-run again? Come on Lou, let's go get a burger and dream of a USC - ND national championship game."Lou Holtz - *spit*
