Yesterday's college action seemed to highlight an epidemic that has been going around since the start of the season. There have been so many players on so many good teams (and bad ones) that have been playing extremely undisciplined football, and costing their team yardage, field position, and of course, points. How this is tolerated I do not know.
Wake Forest. Players on the Demon Deacons were some of the worst offenders yesterday, with several key personal fouls being committed throughout the game. A captain in the defensive corps was even disqualified and sent off for a blatant targeting call against Clemson. For a player to screw up so hard, that's one thing. But a team captain getting busted for a stupid play? I understand they are college kids, but there needs to be some growing up, fast. If you're trying to get into the NFL, shit like this isn't going to help you.
LSU versus the Gators. Where to begin? There were so many flags in this game, I'm not sure I have the time (nor do any of you out there have the money) to listen to me go on all day about said contest. Never mind the dumb pass interference calls and blatant face masking that went on. Then, we get frayed nerves (with probably too much pre-game Red Bull) turning into fist fights (not that I mind a little more action) and almost full-on melees. Pushing and shoving are part of the game to a certain extent, but when you slap the shit out of the other player or throw a punch, it's gonna be 15 yards against you at the very least.
You know what? I saw a lot more, but I got better things to do right now, so there.
