     Honestly, you have never seen the taunting rule called?  I'll bet I 
have seen it at least 8-10 times this year over the course of college 
football.  And, I didn't make the rule.  I am just telling you the rule 
is there and it is enforced.  I mean your opinion is your opinion.  If 
you think it is a wimpy call then that's how you feel.  I think it would 
have been a wimpy call for just the physical stuff that went on.  But 
according to everything I heard it had absolutely nothing to do with 
anything physical.  He was called for taunting.  Beings I have no idea 
what he said or how he went about it I honestly can't say if it was a 
good call or not.
