ESPN has decided I'd rather see GT-Wake or OkSt-IASt
Did Tressel really order a punt from your 29 yard line?
One more time...

Mein freaking Gott
That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. And that includes Marty taking the wind to start OT.
It's his ongoing war against offensive football

WTF
Too long for a QB sneak
"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
not when you are planning 2 QB sneaks in a row
you figure it is almost a guaranteed 1/2 to a full yard each time, only need a yard, do it twice. If you get stuffed then their D just played fantastic

Wow...
It wasn’t a TD… But we’ll take 7 points anyway!
"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
I don't think they'd have overturned it.
His body carried forward after the reach, and you cannot see where the ball was.

I was pissed about missing the 1st quarter
but it looks like i got back at just the right time. How did the douche bags score?
"gotta love the HD"
Special teams fail
We got stuffed inside our own 20. Boone punted low. Coverage couldn’t get downfield in time and return man took it to our 10. Bowman whiffed on an easy tackle of Pryor and he dove for the endzone.

their receivers are good blockers

Why?
If LSU loses they drop below us. I think if Bama loses they are still above us.
by VVeRPennState on Nov 7, 2009 4:41 PM EST up reply actions
well, considering we need both to drop below us for the rankings to matter AT ALL
we’d rather bama drop to a level where they could conceivably drop below us, and hope they both lose agian, and Florida loses again.
In reality it doesn’t matter at all

I'd rather they just call the game like they see it
The ability to review the play is screwing with their head.
by VVeRPennState on Nov 7, 2009 4:50 PM EST up reply actions
while that is mostly true
if they don’t really see if it is a fumble or not, what do you want them to do?
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 7, 2009 4:51 PM EST up reply actions
Its their job to be in position to make the call, do you job and make a call.
Admittedly it’s more of a problem in the pro’s when you are limited to how many challenges you have.
by VVeRPennState on Nov 7, 2009 4:55 PM EST up reply actions
in a perfect world, yes
but if the ref doesn’t have a good view, what do you want them to do?
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 7, 2009 4:55 PM EST up reply actions
The refs make mistakes whether they have replay or not.
I would rather they be decisive and not use replay as a crutch for every close call.
by VVeRPennState on Nov 7, 2009 5:03 PM EST up reply actions
While I agree that they should call it if they see it
I’d also rather they let there be a second chance with the review if they know they don’t have a good view than to call it dead when it really is a fumble
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 7, 2009 5:04 PM EST up reply actions
I guess we will have to agree to disagree
I think bad calls are a part of the game, and replay doesn’t really change that.
by VVeRPennState on Nov 7, 2009 5:11 PM EST up reply actions
we definitely disagree on that, then
as replay is better than no replay more often than not. Yes sometimes even the replay has no conclusive evidence, and sometimes they even get it flat wrong (no excuse for that other than incompetence or shady dealings)
But if the situation came down to the ref allowing a play to continue because he didn’t have a good view, or having to make a BS call cuz he’s forced to guess…well I’d rather send it to review
But I guess agree to disagree ;-)

It's not a safety
O$U didn’t have possession of the ball before it went into the end zone
