Flag on the play, excessive taunting.

At least, that’s what James Madison athletic director Matt Roan seemed to think.

The Bridgeforth Stadium scoreboard also unveiled a message that read, “Please be aware that the throwing of snowballs will result in immediate ejection from the game.”

Roan then addressed the crowd himself.

“The officials and game management will throw a penalty,” he assured. “Please stop throwing snow, thank you.”
