Referee stops game because CMU cheerleaders were too loud

A referee stopped action during Tuesday night's Central Michigan-Toledo game because cheerleaders and band members were too loud when the Rockets were trying to snap the ball on a 4th down play. Seriously.

The referee claimed the CMU cheerers were trying to hinder Toledo’s snap count and ordered that the teams replay the down. The ridiculous call got the attention of fans at the game, who then made so much noise that Toledo kicker Jameson Vest missed a 33-yard field goal.

The Rockets won the game anyway, 28-23.
