[Husker] Joe McCray joke

[Sue Smith]

I just read a good joke:
   
  Apparently Joe McCray got confused--he thought it was "restore the 
hors-deourves."

  I knew NU hoops were in trouble against Creighton when I walked into the Qwest Center and saw Joe McCray in the donught line.

  The rule book talks about "live-ball fouls penalized as dead-ball fouls"
in a few places, including rule 3-2-3 which discusses extending a

by any means, and am learning much of this by reading the rules, or more
accurately, searching on keywords in the rules. My impression is that
they differentiate "administrative"-type penalties like this rather than
typical action penalties because there are some reasons for enforcing
multiple penalties or where the penalty is marked off from differently
for those infractions. I'm not sure what those reasons are but maybe
there'd be some loophole where it would be to a team's advantage to just
send a player out on the field to offset some kind of spot penalty and
big gain or loss.

Bob,

Why would it have been a "dead ball" foul? Wasn't the play still live?

I found the correct rule for this, and it agrees with what ESPN is
reporting today that the SunBelt conference is saying about the play.

Rule 9-2-b-1 says that players and coaches can't come out onto the
field. The penalty is a dead ball foul, 15 yards, and obviously both
teams should have been penalized. The game is not extended on dead ball
offsetting fouls so the game would've ended. The only effect is that
Michigan shouldn't have gotten credit for the 50 or 60 yards covered on
that play.

So I was wrong in saying this down should have been replayed, but for
live ball offsetting fouls (for example, had there been a clip called on
Michigan and a face mask against Nebraska), the period is extended.

Bob
