Did they outlaw the players smiling and being excited, yet?

Not to my knowledge...I think coaches can still eat the grass off of  the field as well, so you guys are good.

Bama is way ahead of the game.   In what Hogville considered the biggest conspiracy since Kennedy was assassinated, they had 'em on the sidelines last year.

Not during the games they don't.  Many coaches wear some sort of khaki pants and an iphone would show in their pockets.  It would not be easy to conceal for a head coach as often as the camera's are on them.

I know CBB has texted recruits from the during pregame stretching and warm up. Not the same as game time but pretty close

He was fired because his name is Hillary.  This is his parents fault.

I have no idea, also, one of his staffers could have had his phone. I was just wondering where you saw it. And that said he read a tweet, not texting.

Saying that Coach Bielema "has texted recruits" implies that he sent a text or initiated the convo.

Wally's tweet implies that he received a TWEET.  Receiving a TWEET is not texting a recruit.

Exactly.  There is usually a "football operations" guy who handles stuff like this.

How does he recieve it at the 7 yard line unless he has his phone? And do you really believe he didn't text a 5 star DE as soon as he got the text or tweet?

I'd say the important distinction would be that it was during warmups rather than game time.  I would imagine he leaves the phone in the locker room during the game.

Well, I don't have any idea if he did or didn't, but using Wally as a source isn't always the best. You have read him, correct?

It seems to me that this is targeting goons spying on sidelines like what happened to  us during the flopgate incident.

Which I mentioned in my original post.

I don't read any article on Wholehogsports that I have to pay for.

That caught my eye as well. All I could guess is that either that school is really messed up and the type that would actually fire a coach for having a homebrew or they are just being extremely cautious since it is still a federal crime to do that, just one that won't be prosecuted.

That said, schools have fired teachers because they took sexy pictures in the privacy of their own homes, so hyper moral codes by schools isn't unrealistic.

You do get the distinction between warm-ups and game time, right?

[DeltaBoy]

Good rule change.

[LRHawg]

The NCAA notes that the home team is responsible for "ensuring identical television capability and identical video and Internet connectivity in the coaches' booths of both teams."

Yeah, like how the visitors at Jordan-Hare get the same elevator.

I wonder is this also means when we are in Tuscaloosa we get our own video guys on their sideline as well?

Do you have a reading disability?

Do you have a reading disability?

Well, the only problem I see is "I know", we don't. You showed where it was tweeted he read a tweet, nothing on the "I know" part. No big deal, it's just not a known fact. Now, will they be using, AT+T or Verizon, I know who our sponsor is, I also know which one has better service, lol.

[justmakeit2thebcs]

Very few things are known facts.  Believe 0% of what you hear and 50% of what you see.  Always tell everyone they don't know crap, because they don't.  Always nitpick, especially words like "know" and "always".  Always remind people you know more than everyone else, that's easy because they know nothing, remember ?  Finally, be petty and always get the last word.

Ok!

[Baconomics]

CBB does not use his cell phone during the games, except for checking the Hogville game thread to see what his next play call should be...

[ARtillahog]

CBB could just use this discreetly.
