FWST: Who’s watching TCU end zone celebrations? Gary Patterson, from start to finish

Gary Patterson is judging the celebrations of TCU players after they score.

But the head coach is not giving out awards for creativity.

He wants exuberance shown properly or not at all.

Love GP but good grief, let these kids have a little bit of fun.

First it's TD celebrations. Next thing you know you have darners dancing on the sidelines before kickoffs and dunking on Fisher Price basketball goals.

I'm good with Coach P doing this. Teams are punished for individual celebrations by the referees. Take it to the sidlines!. Go Frogs!

 

[Armadillo]

I'd like to see the ncaa lighten up on endzone celebrations and tighten up on those idiotic and embarrassing sideline displays (see little tykes and scepter dance).

 

[Dogfrog]

Can't blame a coach for monitoring activity that forces a kickoff from the 20, and is completely avoidable.

Patterson will never run a Briles-like program. And you don't have to to have some fun. Doesn't have to be so extreme.

Coaches have to worry about injuries too, for example Sewo after his first TD last week could have torn his knee after chest bumping, looked bad when he hit the ground, GP is right to manage this closely

Nope there are only two options: no fun way or out of control lunatics wearing masks like Briles. There is no middle ground.

Darrell Royal said it best. When one of his players had a break dance moment in the end zone, he told the kid, "if you ever get there again, act like you've been there before." I'm sure LT had fun scoring touchdowns even though he handed the ball to the refs and trotted back to the bench.

GP making a subtle dig about Mayfield and Heisman voting?

And I don't know how many people saw it, but against JSU after Porter's TD someone (maybe Porter himself) and KH did one of those chest bumping things and I swear KH jumped as high as he could, and he came down very awkwardly. As I watched it I'm just saying how can these coaches allow that, you're basically begging for an injury.

Can you imagine our season pretty much going down the drain in the first game over someone celebrating a TD against Jackson State?

One of these times a kid is going to get hurt doing that, it's only a matter of when.

That could be the dumbest article ever written!
Really? Cannot find anything more intelligent to write about?!

There go all those hours Sewo spent practicing his flag planting celebration for this weekend.

There was the NFL kicker a few years ago who busted his ACL celebrating a kick

Once saw a USC basketball player doing some stupid celebration and poked himself in the eye. Hilarious.

Sewo had a moment like that vs. Arkansas.

First thing the crossed my mind when BM did the flag stuff vs. OSU was, "What would Gary have done?" It would not have been pretty. Then again, I don't think BM would have made it to the center of the field
