Let the 'bashing' begin...

[BisonFan02]

Bashing? Any clips of the segment?

[FUBeAR]

It's on right now, I believe. No clips yet.

Bashing expected because they caught SportsCenter's (and many, many other media outlets) attention through this Big-Guy TD and Celebration:

Several SoCon posters harrumphed, harrumphed at them having fun. The refs didn't like it so much either.

[PAllen]

Yeah it's a flag, but nicely done, and fun too. Take the 15 yds and have some fun with this guy's once in a lifetime moment.

It's not like the coach had to burn a time out to avoid them from getting called for offsides for dancing too long after a sack.

[Bisonator]

Hopefully he got flagged for that in appropriate act he tried on that one teammate. xlolx

[BisonFan02]

Hahaha....the cartwheel was pretty awesome.

Raiders last night? Can't believe they won!

edit- I CAN'T BELIEVE THE CHIEFS LOST

edit 2- Why am I shocked? It's Reid's MO to choke

And they just kept dancing, it was embarrassing. xnutsx

Enjoy the RT, Mercer :D

[rokamortis]

Wait until the get on Outside the Lines, you may not like it so much then.

Good for Mercer but can't believe ESPN is covering just because of some gimmick play when they were running up the score on a hapless team.

[Catamount87]

Let's take it easy on ole Mercer. They need something to hang their hat on after how they rolled through the SoCon this year.

[chattownmocs]

Mercer is desperate for a recruiting edge they can get. Another lame story from a lame 1 win socon team.

[dewey]

I love it. So they got a penalty called on them...no big deal. It was something that group of players, coaches and fans will never forget.

Its not an accomplishment

[marenlee]

Normally I hate excessive celebration that we see way too much these days, especially in the NCAA ranks, but that one was hard not to like.

No everything in life is about winning or losing.

They just manufactured this. Come on. They just decided they were going to do some bush league celebration that no one else does because no one else is this classless. The whole thing was just a regearsed stunt against a hapless opponent. Congrats mercer

They broke the rules and were penalized for it. End of story.

I really hope your ****ty program gets sent to NDSU and we can throat stomp you just because you are such a classless poster on here.

Wah wah wahhhh. Stfu bitch

You shut the **** up. Every damn thread that covers ANYONE in the SoCon that sheds even a LITTLE bit of hope for that team is instantly shot down by your ****ty attitude. Now that your team is finally relevant in over 30 years you are talking **** thinking you are the big dog. Take a seat, kid. The mocs have a long ways to go and you probably need to grow up a little bit. These boards aren't for you to troll people and put down programs.

Good job to the Mercer players for HAVING FUN IN A GAME. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.

Yay...wait until we blowout a team and then pull of a rehearsed publicity stunt!!! Woohoo. Great job mercer. Really class accomplishment! Your are doing a great job drawing attwntion to yourself for nothing. Thats what the gqme is all about!

[MUfan]

How dare those young men have fun while playing a game !!

[superman7515]

I thought it was fun & funny. They got the penalty, as the refs are supposed to do, but I didn't think it was a big deal. I wish they'd allow a little more celebration than they do. Gone are the days of The Fun Bunch, the Icky Shuffle, the Dirty Bird, and the Funky Chicken.

At least the CFL still allows celebrations.

Once again I agree with Supe.

Yup, acting as it this is some big deal in the way of class and so forth is pure PC BS. They celebrated...BFD.

[BearDownMU]

Lol. I love this thread because when it came up on on SoCon thread it was pretty much universal condemnation. And this proves the point. The only people that are mad about it are other people in the SoCon.

And yes, we got one conference win this year and it was tough. We've been playing football games for exactly 2 years, it's our first year in the SoCon and have recruited exactly 1 scholarship class. That's fair. But we're two years old and lost to our conference champions in their back yard by 7. I'll take that. So, keep it coming on the insults. But I like the trajectory we are on.
