The rule is you can't wave your arms at all, your hand doesn't have to go over your head. You do have the right to alert your teammates to get out of the way - but if you do that, you can't return the ball. That's the rules.
And even if he was a real estate agent, it's not very credible that he would have a conflict of interest. Officials have day jobs. Most people wouldn't even know that their real estate agent was a college football referee - unless angry fans targeted and doxxed him, which isn't on him.
There are still a lot of Iowa fans who don't understand the rule, won't listen to the rule, somehow think that if they don't like the rule it somehow doesn't count, insist it's not reviewable when it clearly is, etc.
Iowa fans are saying "If it was an invalid fair catch, why wasn't Minnesota penalized for trying to tackle?" But if you attempt to illegally move the ball, you're fair game. You can't expect the defense to stop when the offense isn't stopping.
On the radio, they said it wasn't an illegal fair catch signal, but an invalid catch signal. The former is a penalty, but the latter is just a dead ball. I don't know the details of the rule.
I'd lose interest if college football became a professional league. Then it's just a minor league. I'd like to see the NFL get their own minor league and pop this bubble.
So, at 5-6, NMSU would be selected over 5-7 teams? I would guess that's dependent on beating Valparaiso, but since Valparaiso is a non-scholarship team, that's highly unlikely to happen.
Slow start for Gophers.
Second half, Gophers came back.
Hung on at the end.
There once was a game down in Lincoln.
The Gophers started out stinkin'
Mo ran really hard
All over the yard
The Gophers fans cheering and drinking.
