My Home team,
Boston College
I love college football, but there are a few things I hate about it. The lack of a playoff system is obvious. The thing that irks me the most, besides that, are ridiculous, excessive-celebration penalties.
Notre Dame intercepted Matt Ryan in the third quarter and returned the ball for a touchdown. The players were naturally excited, so they dived on the player who scored. The referees consequently whistled the Irish for a 15-yard penalty. Boston College had great field position on the kickoff, which led to an Eagles touchdown a few minutes later. How is this remotely fair? The NCAA needs to change this rule. Then again, the NCAA needs to do a bunch of things it will never get around to accomplishing
