Being unsportsmanlike might not be against the rules but it can still be and should be widely ridiculed

i don’t even know what “unsportsmanlike“ means anymore. D1 football is all about winning and money so do whatever it takes to win within the rules.

It's not cheating. And you know we have done it too. So stop. You sound like my kid when she was 8.

I sound like somebody who knows right from wrong. Glad your 8 year old did too. The point is not whether we did it a few times (and I don’t support that either). The point is nobody does it with the frequency that Ole Miss does it and it needs to be stopped.

I'd do this for flops. Give each team 5 timeouts per half. 30 second timeouts. With each stoppage of play for an injury, make them use a timeout. After they run out of timeouts, with each stoppage of play, the team with the injury can only substitute for the injured player. Players remain on the field and only medical staff and water boys are allowed on the field for the team having the injury. Other team can make substitutions in this situation. Would that work?

Way too complicated

“It’s his job” to cheat? Call it what you like. It’s flaunting the rules. Hopefully they are going to change the rules so that his sleazy character won’t be tempted in the future. And trust me, he is sleazy. You don’t want to get into some of his escapades when he was in Knoxville.

Do you cheat on your taxes or take every legal deduction and credit available?

Nick Saban about the "hurry up" offense: It ought to be outlawed. It's not fair. It ruins the intent of the game. It's not good for the sport.

That's what you sound like.

Does the "hurry up" create advantages for the offense? It does.
Does flopping create advantages for the defense?
It does.

Are either illegal? No.
Could either be called "bad for the game and not good for the sport?" Apparently, given Saban, yes.

Observation and Change of subject; MSU cheerleaders just might have topped Ole Miss squad. Good looking bunch.

I don’t want to give the refs another judgment call they can f up. Just make it cut and dry and keep it out of the zebras hands.

A player falling to the ground is pretty cut and dry. Pretty easy to kill two birds w one stone here… “player safety” and fixing the flopping.

Your response lets on that you know there is a distinction

Don't sleep on Mississippi University for Women, a tiny college a few miles from Starksville. Eudora Welty was an alum and while she wasn't a looker when I stopped by for a couple of days several years ago, the young'uns there were bright eyed and bushy tailed. 😉

Neither will land you in jail. So they’re basically the same thing. Lol

Selective morality, eh?

I've taken some sleazy business deductions because they were legal.

If I were a football coach and needed to flop, I'd flop because as others have said: the object is to win within the rules.

Hell's bells...... at one point the forward pass was controversial and illegal and "ruining the game."

Morality of flopping, tax deductions, and the forward pass. Haha. This sounds the the musings of a weird drunk uncle on Thanksgiving

This setting up to be Ole Miss's best year in decades? Don't think even Cutcliffe's teams with Eli had the chance to finish 11-2 and top 5

First double digit win regular season in school history. Most likely headed to the Peach Bowl, unless the SEC gets two teams in the playoffs, then they’ll go to the Sugar Bowl.

I think flopping is disrespectful to the game and to some players who had their careers ended short due to a serious injury.

To see players do it to the slow the game now is a cheap way to win considering you can’t win the game within the rules.

You fail to see the concepts of exploiting the opportunities that are there.

Saban isn't above running the hurry up now nor is Heupel above flopping when needed.

It is what it is. And it's legal just like the hurry up offense and we should use it as needed.

There’s players that’s been seriously hurt and paralyzed for life playing this sport. Faking injuries is not a joke.

Running a gimmick offense to score points is not even close to the same thing.
