Nebraska Cry-babies

All I can say is this. McCoy and Brown are very very lucky that ball didn't travel another 2 yards in the air, or UT would be in the Fiesta Bowl and they would be in the process of being strung up in Austin. That was cutting it way too close. The call was correct upon review.

That wouldve been nice. TCU still wouldve been in the Fiesta Bowl, but vs. Texas, and Cinci wouldve played for the championship. A much better outcome, IMO.

I was traveling home from a hs playoff game, and listened on the radio. I haven't seen a replay
yet. Did they show 2 views, one of the play, and the other of the clock, or did they defy 1000 -1
odds, and get both in one shot

If the situation was exactly reversed, what are the ODDS that the second gets put back on
the clock

REMEMBER THE SWC

No wait, I remember a slanted bunch of game deciding calls going against whorn opponents

all in one shot-I don't think any one with sight doubts that there was 1 second left-apparently they were of a view that since the clock runs a tick during the other 150 plays then a second should have run off here too. But that is not a correct interpretation of the replay rules.

I really believe that Pellini should be more upset at his kicking game for the kickoff that went out of bounds and gave Texas the ball at its 40 and then the stupid horsecollar flag for automatically giving Texas a chance.

Simply, Nebraska didn't finish it.

Exactly. Nebraska shot themselves in the foot with the 2 penalties at the end.
I watched the replay several times, there was 1 second left on the clock when the ball hit the ground. If Bo really needs an explanation, I'll draw him a diagram.

So let's replay every frickin' pass thrown out of bounds. How 'bout that?
After all, who knows when a second or two could mean the difference in winning and losing?

The clock ran out - normally and fairly. Game over. Texas lost.

If they'd not put that second back on, I guarantee you Texas would have sued everyone involved by now, from the BCS to Nebraska's waterboys. "Hell to pay" doesn't begin to describe what would have ensued.

But as it is, The Children of the Corn went home and Bevo is on his throne.

[Stallion]

No why don't we just follow the rules as they are written-there is no rational argument that the officials were not fully in their rights in reviewing the play and were in fact mandated by the rules to put a second back on the clock based upon indisputable evidence.

.... .

Doesn't matter. Game was over. Rationalize all you want.

Again, sir, the rules state the clock stops when the ball hits something.
Then that should checked with dual cameras every time a ball goes out of bounds, no?

This one was checked so Texas could get one last shot to get to Pasadena. Period. It would not have been put back on for Nebraska.

Dear Mr. Pelini,

Get a grip.

Logic does not apply to those making arguments based purely on personal hatred.

[Stallion]

No your argument is frivolous under the rules. In fact, the rules specifically state you can review time on the clock to overturn egregious error. You really don't have an argument to stand on.

Flip it and see the "hate" coming out of Austin.

How do you know, counselor, which seconds in a game will lead to an egregious error?

It does not take "hate" to read a rule book
