Other than that it would be a game management issue of the host facility. Some allow people to sit and stand in that area the entire game. I worked a college game this year where someone was 5-6 yards behind me on the back pylon with nothing between them and me.

I misunderstood. I thought they moved into the bleachers behind the endzone. The player/fan safety thing would be a host school responsibility, but since they allowed noisemakers I guess that was out the window. By the way, I didn't hear it so much in the second half. Can anyone confirm if they were told to stop or not?

They were told that artificial noisemakers were not allowed, but it was still happening in the second half. Not sure why it couldn't be heard, but I could hear it at the game.

Also, they did move to the bleachers behind the endzone just prior to the overtime. I'm not sure if this is against the rules or not, but I just wanted to make sure that it was clear on what happened.

It should have been that close after the 15 yard penalty on EWU. Penalty went the wrong way. 30 yard swing in field position.

Edit by admin: Knock. It. The. Hell. Off.

I know I was very unhappy with Austin Richard when he got flagged in the 4th quater. I never saw what actaully happened and I was really wanting them to show a replay when it happened. Guess I now understand why there was no replay.

Not so definite. Watch 63 from the snap to the end of the play. I think that while he's getting up off of #10 he gives him the business, pushing him down while he's trying to get up and stepping over him. What's unusual is that it's normally the guy retaliating who gets the flag.
