At the Montana- Idaho State game here in Missoula this afternoon, Montana running back Chase Reynolds set the school record for rushing touchdowns with 54. Old record 53 held by Lex Hilliard of the Miami Dolphins.
When he scored the entire team came on to the field, did a group Grizzly Bear hug and all fell over backwards. This was planned and accepted by the coaches. Of course the ref tossed the flag and gave Montana a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty for "excessive celebration." The funny thing was that just before he went "on air" to call the penalty his mic WAS on and everyone could hear him say to the Griz players: "I really hate to do this, but that was just a bit excessive."
Just shows that the refs have to call 'em by the rules, but can still smile and have fun.
