Agree. I also believe the Gators always get shafted on the Unsportsmanlike penalty's. They are quick to call us just for pounding on our chest after a sack but do not call anything for the opposing team Gator chomping to our sidelines or to a db when they get a big 1st down. Never do we finish a season with less unsportsmanlike penaltys than the teams we play.

League office is not fans of ours, even though our program fills their coffers with millions of dollars over the years.

They called it on an Arizona player a few minutes ago for simply saying something to a Belmont player after making a three.

What I'd like to have seen is the refs turn their heads as Patrick Young sets a "screen" that happens to end the punks night.

Not the Noah thing again.

In perspective to Henderson - My college coach would have said that guy needs to learn some respect and we would have given him a hard foul - within the rules - to make him see he was acting too far out of character.

We'll see how he does in the next game .... someone will get at him...HARD

I for one love Henderson's passion,reminds me of Noah in his day at UF.

Noah used to taunt? Examples please.

Not even close.

There's a difference between mocking/ taunting an opponent (ie Henderson doing the Gator chomp) and celebrating.

I never remember Noah taunting. Celebrating yes, taunting no.

I think emotion and celebrating should never be called a penalty, but Henderson clearly crosses the line.

-A Gator player doing the Gator Chomp in celebration - no penalty
-Another player doing the Gator Chomp to mock the Gators - penalty
-A Gator player doing the Gator Chomp in another players face (Tebow in MNC) - Penalty
There is a definite difference between celebrating and mocking or taunting, it isn't rocket surgery.

The only excessive celebration I remember out of the 04's is when Taurean Green launched that basketball when the clock hit :00
