Did Sam Ehlinger Receive Too Many Butt Taps & Cuppage From This Ref?

Published|Updated

Here's one to debate around the water cooler at work this week with the guys. Did this ref in the West Virginia-Texas game give Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger too many butt taps after helping him up? I count five butt taps and then the ref's hand resting on Ehlinger's butt in a clear violation of normal butt tap etiquette.

I'm not a butt tap expert when it comes to butt tapping other guys, but one seems like enough. That said, I'm a married man and a kitchen butt tap for my wife might include a single tap and then a hand on the butt as we talk about what we should make for dinner. You normal guys know what I'm talking about.

This ref treated Sam Ehlingering's butt like they were in a relationship. You cross the line into cuppage and that's a relationship move. Watch this:
