App State "cramps"

[vik]

I like the idea of a rules change here, however sitting three plays is not enough IMO. I would suggest we compromise from a quarter/half time out perhaps the player being ineligible to return to the filed until the next change of possession.

Well sometimes we get a player shaken up, too, so let's not get too wild on this (imagine one of our defensive starters missing the rest of the quarter?!?).

Impossible for you to say whether or not they were faking.

They seemed real to me.

When the dB got up laughing an smiling the gig was up.

It looks suspicious when you have guys drop after every play against a team that goes fast

of the number of times Appy State players faked cramps or some other injury! Even my wife asked what was going on. Its so obvious they were faking to give their D time to rest and rotate players. Yes it was an UGLY W, but Appy State deserves an Academy Award for their acting. GBO!

I just figured it was their menstrual cycle..

Just a little gamesmanship to make sure they could dictate the pace of the game. Had no problem with it. Shouldn't have had any impact on how we executed.

I think more of these cramps were legit than people think.

Some of the guys having cramp issues were their best players. Not the guys you want to fake a cramp.
