The Conspiracy Against Notre Dame

I just knew it.
 
th
 
That was good.
 
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay......................................................
 
I guess that was an attempt at humor.

What concerned me most was the officials injecting themselves directly into the outcome of the game. A few things stood out to me as I watched the play at full speed and by pausing it. The defender closest to the line immediately engaged the receiver...he initiated the contact. None of the three defenders immediately reacted to the receiver breaking to the flat...somebody blew their assignment. The other receiver simply ran up field...the defender did nothing to fight him off as if he were trying to get to the receiver in the flat. The third defender finally makes a move to his left, bit way too late to make a play. The defenders then start jawing at each other...because someone blew their assignment. Flag comes in and the head referee looks surprised...he saw nothing. The play of the game, perfectly executed, taken away on what clearly should have been a no call. The defense got whipped and there was no way for them to recover...nobody impeded anybody to the extent that the result of the play was affected (like interference on an uncatchable ball).

I dislike Notre Dame as much as anyone, but I hate seeing the game tarnished by a horrible call.

You think? I hate the Clowns with a burning passion only exceeded by my hatred of the Humpers, but I thought that was a good call. I thought not one, but two ND receivers were setting picks.

Check this video out. This guy is making the case that the call was blown and the ref that made the call was not in position to make the call and threw his flag prematurely, but I think it clearly shows ND receivers almost blocking in the routes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAKIi6gONFA Play starts around 1:15.

Still, it was a well-designed play. Had they brushed the defenders and not picked them, the TD would have stood and the Clowns would have lost...
 
It was the right call unfortunately.
 
I am going to respectfully disagree. The video shows that both FSU defenders initiated the contact with the receivers...and none of them made a move towards the receiver who caught the pass. Its a done deal now...but I still say bad call.
 
Well, since Jameis Winston is such a villain, I'm sure he promised the refs crab legs for life to make the call. It couldn't possibly be the case that he, again, showed why he is the best player in college football. Florida has a great defense, surely they can end Winston's unprecedented record as a starting quarterback, if it's still intact when they play him.

STFU, Nole.
 
That game was stolen from Notre Dame like so many crab claws.
 
I hate both of those teams so much that I didn't really care who won. I think that call could have gone either way, but I also think if the correct call was made, it should have been on #20 (who made immediate contact with the DB and did not attempt to disengage), not the guy the penalty was actually called on. In the end, you have to admit, Winston (may he rot in hell) played one heck of a second half in that game; though it was agonizing to watch.

  • stephenPE stephenPE:
    I think its cool now that black coaches like Tomlin can become retreads like the old days. Used to be they would hire an old coach over and over before a Tomlin got a chance..............Does Cignetti get some attention by the NFL. Anyone watching the Oklahoma game tonight

    Tomlin may just take one year off before coaching again
  • gatordad3 gatordad3:
    Would this require negotiations since Tomlin had another year on his contract?
