This is my first post on here in a while, but what were your thought about the players dancing on the sidelines? Good? Bad?

Football is a game. Games are meant to be fun. It was during timeouts. No issues.

Rhoads called the sidelines out earlier after a game that we came out flat. He made mention that nobody had life. Since that time those guys, led by The Beard, have been doing it. I love to see those guys trying to get life back.

I think they're kids playing a game. Of the long list of things wrong with the program at the moment, players goofing around on the sidelines during a timeout is way down near the bottom.

Yeah I agree with what's being said so far. I think it was pretty cool to see that.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me, it's not like ISU was getting blown out. If they're dancing around when they're getting beat by 30, well then that's not a good look.

This.

As long as we are in a competitive game or are winning I like it. It shows they are having fun and backing the team on the field.

If we are getting blown out and they do it they just look like idiots.

I'm quite sure it will result in an ISU penalty eventually.

The Texas Tech 360 Degree Kung Fu kick celebration for no penalty still has me pretty ticked following Bibb's penalty for a much smaller celebration, the penalty would have moved ISU ahead on the final drive. I'd prefer neither were called but you really can't call a tiny celebration then let a bigger one go.

It was fine. I think it was when we were playing well. The whole crowd really seemed to be having a pretty good time most of the game. The people we usually sit around yelling obscenities at the players and coaches stayed home. There seemed to be a good synergy between the team and the crowd and it got pretty loud at times despite how few people showed up.

So basically everyone (including me) is fine with it as long as we are ahead.

I think we should seriously check if it can draw a penalty and perhaps let the Big 12 know ahead of time our players will dance on the sideline as allowed by Big 12 previously acknowledged rules. I wish I could be jimlading this, but no.

I would like them to mix it up a bit. Some contemporary and ballroom would be nice for a change, even tap (though it wouldn't work as good due to grass). Right now they are very one dimensional.

A lot of other schools do similar sideline group dances and I haven't ever heard of it being called.

So what I am trying to say is we will break the ice.

I liked seeing it. Conversely, if our guys would have been standing on the sidelines all business-like, not smiling, someone probably would've have mentioned that it doesn't look like our guys are having fun, they lack chemistry, Rhoads has lost the team, they don't want to be here, etc.

It wouldn't even be close to the worst call of the season that went against us, which gives me pause.

I really think the only reason Bibbs drew the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was because he was turned toward the defender when he did it and the official interpreted it as directed at the defender.
