I can live with it too, but it's still dumb as hell. Every time the offense lines up to punt the fscking ball the defense is supposed to be aware of the possible fake. What damn difference does it make if the punter *fakes* the kick then pulls up and throws the ball? I see no need for this dumbass rule. Leave it to the wonderful SEC to come up with something so lame.

I can live with that.
