Arkansas State player ejected from GoDaddy Bowl for 'threatening an official' | http://AL.com  http://ow.ly/GMX4b

QuoteEarly in the fourth quarter, with Arkansas State trailing 42-31 and Toledo driving, Red Wolves linebacker Xavier Woodson said something to a referee after a play and was immediately ejected.

"I'm not commenting on it," Anderson said. "It was the heat of the battle, and if he deserved to be kicked out, he deserved to be kicked out.

"It was chippy at that point. I think at that point, they decided to draw a line. The official made a call. It's a judgment call on his part. If we've got a guy who steps out of line, he deserves to be sent off. There's nothing on video, I don't have any proof of it, but they're the guys out there calling the game. If they felt like he was out of line, he was out of line."

Watching your mouth is a key to good sportsmanship.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

That has got to be one of the dumbest things ever.  Any player ought to know better than that.

Coach Anderson said he won't repeat what the ref claims Woodson said to him. Only that IF the ref thought it worth the ejection then he was ejected. My feeling is Anderson didn't agree with it but he realized that arguing it was pointless. However, I doubt the threat was physical in nature in any way. Nobody can be that stupid. That would likely get you kicked out of NCAA football for life.

He told him to "call it both ways or I'm going to beat your a**". This came from another player on the ASU defense.

If that is what he said he deserved ejection.
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.

I'm not going to say you are wrong on the above because I wasn't there. But I do find it interesting that if another ASU defensive player is claiming such, that it has never been mentioned on the ASU board. Surely such a thing would have been revealed over there first considering the number of "insiders" on that board.

Fwiw, the player has been suspended from the first half of next years season opener vs Southern Cal by Coach Anderson.

He should have been kicked off the team and banned from College football.
I've never seen any other player flagged for "Threatening an Official". Class A Thug.

I'm really good friends with this player that told me this. He wouldn't have made it up. If he says that's what happened then that's what happened to me.

Which is really stupid, because the ref and the player both KNOW he isn't going to do that.  Why even say it?

Which is why I said I wasn't going to say you are wrong. Just that it is interesting that it wasn't revealed on the ASU board first because we have several posters supposedly with "insider" knowledge there.

because a lot of dumb things get said by kids in the "heat of the moment" situations.
