We all saw the problems that Fortenberry was having last night especially the false starts in the Wildcat formation. But you also noticed that after each false start penalty Dunbar went bonkers yelling at the refs. I was wondering when watching if ULL wasnt barking the count as well. Phillips mentioned on his site that UNT is claiming that was the case. If true this lead to how many fasle starts? 3 at least on the final drive?

What does it matter? UNT scored a touchdown on that final drive.

I heard Dodge's comment, but I hadn't noticed Dunbar's reaction during the game.

Dunbar was so angry he did jumping jacks at one point. You could tell other players were angry, but the ref crew last had a short trigger, I think most of the players didn't react because they were afraid of getting flagged.

But yes, something fishy was going on.

The Cajuns D-line was barking "HUT" and Fortenberry was flinching with it. The O-line coach told the refs, the players told the ref and Dodge told the refs.

If this behavior is against the rules, and the refs dont' know the rules then why don't we have a rule book on the sidelines. Better yet, why didn't someone google it then show the rules to the refs.

If this is truly against the rules then this is yet another example of bad coaching. They should have the rules available and within reach on the sidelines.

My brain hurts.

Now bad officiating is also the coaching staff's fault? Haven't we gone over the fact that Lance(especially), Riley, and other players were going ballistic on the refs over this (I didn't even think to look over at the sideline coaches during those penalties, so I don't know what they were doing)? Surely they were taught the rules by SOMEONE, or they wouldn't react like they did.

It doesn't matter if Tom Landry is on the sideline, if the referees are not demonstrating competence and ignoring player/coach pleas then those penalties will rack up, just as they did last night.

Good coaching would be for the staff to alert the conference officials that this was occurring and these officials be reprimanded by the SBC in some way.

So the sh!tty officiating is Dodge and the coaching staff's fault?!?! I think it is time to lay off the crack-pipe!!! There is a looooooong list of problems and issues with this program you can lay at the feet of the coaching staff, but pinning bad calls on them because they don't have the facilities on the sideline to "GOOGLE" the rules so they can prove their point by making the ref read an article about NCAA football rules on Wikipedia is truely insane.

      LINK: https://www.nilcollegeathletelitigation.com/media/4660999/clge_not_240306.pdf https://www.nilcollegeathletelitigation.com/?utm_source=gdn&utm_medium=natl&utm_campaign=clge UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA If you were denied NIL compensation opportunities any time between 2016-2023, your rights may be affected by a class action lawsuit. A federal court authorized this notice. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer. A class action lawsuit has been filed against the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Pac-12 Conference, Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Southeastern Conference, and Atlantic Coast Conference, including Notre Dame. (“Power Five Conferences”). The lawsuit claims certain NCAA rules that prevented student-athletes from receiving compensation for the commercial use of their names, images, and likenesses (NIL) and prohibited NCAA conferences and schools from sharing any NIL revenue they receive with student-athletes were anticompetitive. You may be included in the lawsuit if you are a current or former college athlete who received a full Grant-in-Aid (GIA) scholarship and compete on, or competed on, a Division I men’s or women’s basketball team or an FBS football team, at a college or university that is a member of one of the Power Five Conferences (including Notre Dame), any time between June 15, 2016 and November 3, 2023 OR who competed on a Division I athletic team prior to July 1, 2021 and received compensation while a Division I college athlete for the use of your NIL between July 1, 2021 and November 3, 2023. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS DO NOTHING If you do nothing you are choosing to stay in the lawsuit. You will be eligible to share in any money that may be obtained through continued litigation or settlement. You will be bound by past and any future court rulings on, or settlement of, the claims against Defendants, and you will not be able to pursue your own claims against them. EXCLUDE YOURSELF If you exclude yourself from the lawsuit (i.e. opt out), you will not be able to share in any money that may be obtained in this case through continued litigation or settlement. You will not be bound by any past or future rulings against Defendants. You may pursue your own claims against Defendants. These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the notice. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or not.

      Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?

      First CFB game would have been Baylor against some nonconference cupcake in the early 2010s. First UNT game I went to, I got to witness this atrocity in Austin:
