What goes around...

[Stallion]

...comes around. So can we let go out the Marshall screwup from last year? Didn't see the "non-reviewable" "incompletion" by Sanders but I really thought that had to be a fumble. I guess the official blew his whistle....? That was easily the most pivitol play of the game just as SMU was screwed against Marshall last year.

[BRStang]

Indeed.

[mrydel]

I really think they would not have overturned it due to "inconclusive" evidence. They really wimp out on overturning. I was very pleasantly surprised they overturned the 4th down call on UAB. What I do not understand is the "non reviewable" statement. The whistle had not blown and they specifically put in the review for this type of play last year.

Thought we were screwed on that play. It is one of my favorite plays. The mini-sweep pass that seldom gains any yards. Gotta love that call.

Ugh, this sounds like a bad Norm Hitzges rant.

so can we start calling stallion grampa urine?

If we're going to start collecting our debts in terms of bad calls and bad luck, we should be in a BCS bowl within a year or two.

There's no such thing as a bad Norm rant. Is there anyone in Dallas -- or anywhere else for that matter -- who knows so much about sports as the great Hitzges?

[EastStang]

It was so bang, bang that I couldn't tell if he was juggling it or had fully tucked it before he was hit. I saw every ESPN2 angle on it in slow motion, and it looked like a catch and fumble but... one shot kinda looked like he might have juggled it a bit. I thought that an incomplete ruling was non-reviewable period. That's why a good ref let's it be a fumble and then allows himself to be reversed.

[Stallion]

No it can't be a fumble if the referee has already blown his whistle-that had to be the call. They can review catches and fumbles as they did last nite

[Treadway21]

The refs were just bad period. The fact that it took so long to determine that the call wasn't reviewable is laughable. The CUSA should do something about the standard of referees in the league. There ws plenty of other bungled calls. They couldn't even tell if they had marked off some penalties correctly. I would think the league would be embarrssed by that performance.

Chuck Cooperstein.

Good point. I'd still give Norm the nod. He doesn't have the voice that Chuck has, but for sheer knowledge, Norm's the man.
