If you were Thad Matta, would you have put the gum back in your mouth?

[stxbuck]

No-gum is an exception to the 5 second rule,IMO.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

I voted yes. What the hell else was he supposed to do with it?

Palm it for however long he was yelling?

 

[OCBucksFan]

Yes I would have.

What's the big fucking deal?

My sentiments exactly.

 

[OH10]

No. It's different than normal food because you are chewing it for so long.

The five-second rule does not apply.

If it had been a fry or a chicken nugget, that would have been ok.

why?

 

[BUCKYLE]

Eh, the Wisky kid picked his contact up and put it in his mouth to wash it off. I dropped my mouthpiece on the football field and put it back in with dirt on it.

 

[Captain Hindsight]

Would I do it? No.

If I was Thad Matta would I do it? Absolutely. He's showing his players and recruits that there is an absolute no-pussy tolerance on his team.

So...you're sayin' you're a pussy?

 

[Zurp]

I would have stuck it under a ref's shoe and then got mad at him for having gum on his shoe.

 

[Best Buckeye]

It clearly fell under the 5 second rule, and it showed he is a working class coach !

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

So...you're sayin' you're a pussy?

he painted himself into that corner

 

[Taosman]

Hell yes, the 5 second rule applies. What's the big freaking deal.

What he said! :chompy:

 

[Captain Hindsight]

Wow, after that shitty phrasing I deserved that.

Thank you.

 

[BUCKYLE]

Thank you.

It's all good.

Yeah, but he then had an assistant on the sidelines put solution on the contact. I think they have to stay moist, and that's prolly why he slipped it into his mouth.

For the coach, putting that gum in his mouth means he ignored what any perspiration or saliva on the floor might be carrying. Not a smart move, but it was no biggy...his call.
