Yes, the penalty sucks, but nobody here overacts with the same type of disdain when NDSU players commit other penalties that cost them 15 yards like pass interference, roughing the passer or face-masking. Until Saturday, Brooks has been pretty quite and humble, then one action, and this message board goes overboard. If anyone needs reassess their ego, it's a few of us on this board. I don't know if you personally have some type of issue with Brooks because he plays/played with your son, but if I had to guess, I would say you do.
