I never heard the 15 yard sideline penalty thing or whatever was explained. Can someone please give me the lowdown?

Thanks.

I don't know that I've seen the 15 yarder called before. I've seen the sideline warning a bunch, maybe the 5 yard penalty a few times. As I understand it, if someone makes contact with an official, they can call the 15 yarder without any prior warning.

It is never called, except against Beamer teams.

I can't say I've ever seen the 15 yarder called. I'm sure it's probably happened and I don't recall it, but it's exceedingly rare.

I saw it called in a game last year. (Sorry, I can't remember the participants). While the sideline judge was running down the sideline following a play, a member of the coaching staff was in his way and they collided. Penalty called.

That was a prissy crew out there Saturday night. Say what you want, I’ve seen enough too many times, SEC stripes are inequitable if not plain corrupt.

I didn't see who they called it on, but I instantly assumed it was Beamer.

So... I watched the broadcast of the game over the last 2 nights.

The TV crew said the production team was looking at it to see if they could pull it up and then it was never addressed again.

Usually, for calls like that, the TV broadcast will show it. That they couldn't find it, I find very interesting. If someone on the sideline impeded or ran into a Side Judge, I would think it would have been pretty easy to find on the tape.

Its weird that something like that was called, and it wasn't obvious what it was for.

Sounds like it will forever remain a mystery if it hasn`t been explained by now.

that was the most problematic part of it all, in my opinion. When was the last time you saw a penalty in a football game for which nobody on an ESPN production crew could find any video of the incident? I've seen plenty of phantom calls (at least two in one game against LSU), but even then, they had film of the interaction that generated the purported penalty.

The fact that Beamer wasn't going ballistic at that call kind of supports my assumption that he was the cause of the sideline infraction.

Texas vs UGA? I vaguely recall it, and think it was UGA at least.

Possibly. Your memory appears to be better than mine.

We've had our share of phantom penalties
