Come again?

By Phyllis

Yes, I am up at 11:30 watching the Hawaii-Idaho game. What else am I going to do?

Hawaii is up 42-10 and Idaho is looking a lot like...well, Idaho. Anyway, Idaho just ran a play and was half a yard short of the first down. So on 3rd and 1 they came out, lined up, and a couple of the offensive linemen jumped. Flags flew and whistles blew and players from both sides started pointing fingers--you've seen it before. Then the referee came out, clicked on his mic, and, arms akimbo, said:

"Disconcerting signals...on the defense. Five yard penalty. First down."
