a lot in the past, but can you imagine if a ref threw 4 unsportsmanlike penalty flags against Alabama fans for them being too loud? Or Clemson? Or LSU?
LaVell should've lost his crap at the ref. What a joke.
Deseret NewsTHE ROWDIES were out in force again in Provo Saturday. No doubt you've already heard. It got so loud at one stage that Dee Dowis, a quarterback from the Air Force Academy, said he couldn't hear himself yell out signals, and you know how the Academy is particular about only admitting cadets with perfect hearing. Dowis turned to the game referee, Jack Baker, and said, ``Hey, this is deafening, sir,'' or something like that. Somehow, through the din, Baker heard him - and agreed. He wound up throwing no less than four yellow flags on the crowd - for unruly and disruptive conduct. In Provo, it was believed to be a first offense. In or out of the stadium.
