That Flag On The Play? It Came From The Stands

Posted by Brooks on Oct. 20, 2008, 12:47pm

EAGLE IN ATLANTA and WIZARD OF ODDS have this fun video from last Saturday’s Boston College-Virgina Tech game:

ESPN analyst Bob Davie after an incompleted pass that looked like it could’ve been interference: “That flag really came out late.” (video after the jump)

Maybe that’s because it came from the stands.

Appropriately though, the flag hit the field precisely in the spot where the refs might’ve missed the call moments before.

Added bonus: Strange sight of a Ref before the game getting “amped up” on a stationary bike.

Boston College better find out who threw that flag - and get him a roster spot.

"It Came From The Stands" - sounds like some '50s college football horror movie.

For their next home game, BC students should plan some kind of mass-penalty flag throw, especially if they're losing. They even might make into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Hey, the Eagles are 5-1. Who would've thought they'd be doing better than the Pats this season.

Um, the BC game was played on Saturday, and the Red Sox won that day. So the fans wouldn't be pissed off yet.

Is ACC officiating so bad that they need the fans' help in throwing flags?

Could the officials have thrown a flag for someone throwing a flag?

Some officials need all the help they can get.
