Yes, I am. If it's within the rules, I'm ok with it.

Impressive to go into the Swamp and beat the defending national champions.

Could someone explain to me how it is a cheap move to call a timeout right before the snap. I see absolutely not problem with doing something that is completely legal and has the potential to give you an advantage.

I already said it's my opinion. Something being cheap has nothing to with whether it's legal or a way to get an advantage. In fact, doing something cheap in sports often means you get an advantage.

Is it cheap for a coach to allow the 2nd and even 3rd team athletes to continue to run roughshod over an outmatched opinion? Or would it be more sportsmanlike to tell the subs to just take a knee 3 times then punt?

I'm not sure why you are changing the subject. Letting your 3rd-string players play their hardest is not the same thing as what Urban did.

I'm not changing the subject. It's all falls under playing the game by the rules.

so are trick plays in bad taste? What's the difference?

I remember the scene on TV of a high school game, where a kid ran to the corner of the court during an inbound play, got down on all fours and started barking like a dog. everyone looked at the goof ball, at which point they inbound for an easy layup.

Weird how the three posters to defend Urban have been Ute fans.

I see nothing unsportsmanlike about what Urban did.

Happy now?
