There have been a number of unsportsmanlike conduct calls during Gopher games this year. At the time, I didn't have a good idea what they were being called for; my speculation was that it was a variation on roughing for those after the whistle skirmishes. Now that I know about the new taunting rule, that would be my guess. So I think they have made an appearance before this, but no one knew about it; at least I didn't. J.
