Why?

Post by mrydel »

Late in the game, looking positive for SMU. Fans charged up. Temple with the ball trying to mount a comeback. Production plays the theme from Rocky. The Philedelphia underdog Rocky. That absolutely baffled me.

Similarly, at a critical time in the Rutgers game, they played something from Bruce Springsteen. Go figure.

Wow. Pretty clueless.

Another note, was anyone else throwing their remote at the TV with the bad calls? Shead's knee was clearly down, #4 clearly put the ball on the ground in the end zone, and they missed 2-3 obvious holding calls. Usually, I don't complain about the refs, but I hope I wasn't the only one. I'm assuming that's why the crowd reacted so strongly when the refs told us to turn the music off. Terrible refs (as bad as the refs in the TT game if not worse).

We got some good calls too. Our receivers have gotten very good at pushing off on the back shoulder throws.

Playing Ministry while showing GG's stat board on the big screen negates up to 10 plays of Rocky music.

Why did we call those two timeouts before the half? There was no way we would get the ball back in time to do anything since we would be out of timeouts after 2nd down. What was I missing?

As I recall Rocky, the underdog, lost that one. :lol:

Just great fire the fans up music :!:

My Whineyfan.com whine would be playing a loud commercial on the video board during the
band playing their 2nd, and 3rd verse versions of Peruna after a critical TD :!:
May the forth be with us.

I am sure Jones was tired of hearing why he had time outs left at halftime.

I thank the refs if I were you... That whiney one got us back in the game (players and fans) when he complained about the music. That was awesome.
