What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.

Certain calls come with a motion to the signal. Like the false start penalty has the spinning hands. The safety signal should come with a vigorous hip thrust to provide more emphasis to what just happened.

Maybe start with a jump to the left, and then a step to the right...

And then rub stomach and pat top of head at the same time.

I’m assuming it is, and would come about somehow from an extra-point try/kick, as that is a 1 point attempt, as I assume you know.

There are 3 ways to score. The point totals are different on a regular scrimmage play or a try.

Scrimmage play
Touchdown: 6 points
Field Goal: 3 points
Safety: 2 points

Try
Touchdown: 2 points
Field Goal: 1 point
Safety: 1 point

So all the rules that define touchdown, field goal and try apply to both instances but the score value changes. True for NCAA but not limitations for NFHS. This is why when the defense blocks a kick or intercepts a pass and returns it for a TD they get 2 points.

Based on that a tab is awarded one point if they get a safety on a try. It's extremely unlikely for the offense to have a safety on a try. The most common way this happens is the defense gains possession of the ball on a try in the field of play and takes it into their own end zone (no momentum) where it becomes dead in their team possession. The other example is if the defense commits a foul that is enforced in the end zone.

This is probably the most common example we use in clinics. Note this should have been an illegal forward pass which also would have resulted in a safety by enforcement because the foul happened in their end zone by the team in possession.

Since we just love working you to death, I'll ask a follow up. Is it possible for a team to have 1 point? AKA let up a touchdown, then intercept the try in endzone, leave endzone, return to endzone where tackled?

The team that scored the TD would get the 1 point so it would be 7-0. The way it could happen is if somehow the offense on a try ends up 97 yards back with the ball in their own end zone. It would be extremely unlikely, but it's technically possible. This would make it 6-1.

That muffed thing that results in a touchback is stupid. Football needs more safeties. 2- point safeties are awesome, but too rarely occur. That safety signal the refs do above their head is simultaneously the Greatest and yet The Most Ridiculous looking referee signal in all of sports. And we need more of it.

The safety against UNI in the '15 quarters is one of my all time favorite Bison football plays.

The Phantom Whistle game.

On TD replays/reviews, the head official making the final call over the microphone/speaker system should get to ad lib with his or her own/unique call and signal like baseball plate umps on the 3rd strike call. Would be hilarious and add to the crowd celebration or discontent.

When I rack up a batter on a called strike three........I leave no doubt (I hate batters anyway, all they do is slow the game up) JK

How about Video Review Dancers to come out during calls to the booth and/or Video Review Reenactors go out on the field to recreate the play that caused the review? Seems like Bisonville posters would be perfect for both jobs.
