Turnover chain

[Triple B]

Richt should have been ejected. No need for even a discussion after seeing what the UK player got ejected for.

This is how fake news gets its start.  No where in my post did I say he should be charged with battery. LOL 

I said "locked up with the chain for battery".

Turnover chain is the coolest thing I have seen in college football in years. Kudos to Miami for being innovative.

These type of traditions have been around for a long time-- they are the instant gratification version of the game ball. Lots of teams have used similar things to motivate players-- not sure if the genesis of them is from coaches or the players themselves. But I have seen numerous teams use wrestling belts (or other items) for players of the game or big hits even before the Miami used their chain. The turnover chain (as an item) is sort of unique/new and clearly the players get excited about it. I don't fault the use of these items-- if it gets them going, good for them.

Some of the best ones are shared in long time rivalries -- like Paul Bunyan's Axe - great traditions even if they are silly items.

It is one of those things like the Lambeau Leap that the home fans love but the opposing fans hate. And the reason is simple-- it represents a loss of something for the opponents. The only thing for certain is that you can see the joy it is bringing to those players on the sidelines- they are all smiles.

Not sure why this comment received two downvotes.

The turnover chain is fun, and also absolutely perfect for Miami.  It's ok to have fun, guys.
