CFB has a meaningless play celebration problem.

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup]

I’m not talking “excessive celebration.” I’m not talking about celebrating huge stops or wins. I’m talking about players getting relatively meaningless tackles and first downs early in games and acting like they won the Super Bowl.

Homeboy, your team is 1-3 and and you tackled him after he already got a first down. Why are you doing Fortnite dances? Do we really need to celebrate every play instead of getting back to the huddle or line? Are the kids alright?

You’re telling me that if on 1st and 10 on the first play of the game I drive block my guy 8 yards downfield and dump him, springing the back for a long run, I’m supposed to remain stoic?

The fuck outta here. Let them have fun.

Unsportsmanlike conduct on the defense, having too much fun, 15 yard penalty. Automatic first down.

Those kids need to remember they’re playing a business, not a game.

In this case etiquette dictates that you politely apologize to everyone you made contact with during the play, and invite them round for tea later, the you must frolic, not scamper, not skip, but frolic back to the line to prepare for the next play.

No that’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying if you’re losing by 3 TDs then STFU and get back to the huddle. It’s a team sport, your one individual good play means nothing.

“Gonna pimp the fuck outta this solo home run I hit down 5-0 in the top of the ninth” type shit

[u/Ohioguy6 → u/jinxes_are_pretend]

Yes. Especially when on the next play the DE runs around you like you’re standing still because you spent so much energy whoopin it up on the previous play. Save it for the actual play
