    The Florida center was snapping his head to the side before he snapped the ball which was drawing our defense offsides. Jordy on the sidelines was saying that Les was screaming at the line judge to call it properly but they just kept flagging LSU. Just before the second half started Les cornered the head referee and gave him a piece of his mind. The next time it happened Florida got the illegal procedure penalty and the referee went over and warned the center to stop it instead of just continuing to flag him.

    I put this one on the amazingly incompetent SEC referees.

    I know. But you have to realize that the legendary Tiger Stadium noise is a dance between the team and the crowd. It takes two to dance. It's just the way it is.

    While ive never seen it done to the side like that before, many many teams do the up and down head movement to use the silent count.

    I assume to the side is just as legal.

    I got a question for those that were there....at one point in the 2nd half when the offense was running that crappy calling the plays from the sideline BS..it sounded to me that the crowd was not so much booing but upset with the coaches and kind of showed it to them.

    OR Was that just my own inner thoughts playing tricks with my mind since I was so displeased with that offense scheme?

    our boring do-nothing offense took the crowd out of it. It was very obvious on tv.

    There were widespread boos throughout the game when the offense had its hiccups. It was just general disgust with the way the game was being called and played on offense.

    well, a lotbof the crowd tried their best to drag the team back onto the dance floor. the rest just became wall flowers. and the team was like the eighth grade boy that didnt know what to do.

    The crowd was definitely unhappy with the time it took to get a play in, causing confusion. I despise the no-huddle offense. I think it keeps the OL down in stance too long and takes away some of their explosiveness. It creates confusion and the receivers may not hear the signal at all.

    If I could ask Les a question right now, it would be, "What does the no-huddle offense give us to compensate for the confusion, unnecessary time outs, and delays that it causes?" LSU is getting fewer plays in a game because of this and I think that is significant.
