Gilmer v. Navasota free kick to start 2nd half

[TXMike]

7-1-3-b-1   If you don't know this rule then what level of game should you be confined to?

You are absolutely correct on your play and I stand corrected.  Most of the time players who participated previously are, or have been inside the 9's, but your play tricked me.  That being said, I still will never agree that the kick-off was any where legal and see no situation where it should be ignored.

For all you 9 yard mark lovers....Here is a little video of KOs from 2 different bowl games this bowl season.

Notice anything?

I'd say that gilmer play is illegal because of not having enough players on one side of the ball.  I think that's the bigger issue, you should be able to pick that one up pretty easily.

If you're gonig to flag every free kick where players are outside the 9's at the RFP, you're going to flag almost all of them. 

It's like when an offensive player comes in the game at the last second, usually a WR and doesn't make it inside the 9's....BUT if the D has a man on the new player to cover him, are you going to call that too even though no advantage has been gained?
