Well, Mr. President, I think Leinart showed you what he's got.

Not quite the same as the NFL, but Paterno could have insisted on it because a block returned all the way is two points. Michigan would have just downed the ball rather than kick.

miami_fan · 10-15-2005, 06:34 PM

Spike the ball!

Noop · 10-15-2005, 06:35 PM

That is some bullshit. I bet Pete Carroll wishes he had instant replay.

DeToxRox · 10-15-2005, 06:36 PM

This is one of the best days of college football ever

Incredible. Three major games decided in the last few seconds, one after another.

Easy Mac · 10-15-2005, 06:39 PM

I didn't understand why they would need to spike it, the clock was stopped. Weis just got outcoached.

Clock would have started after it the ball was set for play.

Joe · 10-15-2005, 06:41 PM

wasn't it? or i guess it was out of bounds so maybe youre right, it wasnt a first down

Not if it went out of bounds.

If you fumble out of bounds it doesn't stop the clock?

I don't follow college football at all but I turned on the end of this one as I was eating dinner and watched the last 6 or so minutes. What a game! I was rooting for ND and am sorry to see them lose, but man what a contest.

I don't think anyone had any fucking idea what was going on, and I would not be surprised if that goes as far as Charlie Weis and Pete Carroll not realizing the clock was stopped. Just absolute confusion there in the final seconds.

It does, but the clock is started on the referee's placement if the referee determines that the spot is forward of the spot of the fumble. Now the ball looked like it went sideways or backward, but the referee must have told both sides he'd start the clock on the spot - and the spot of the ball did seem to indicate that the referee thought it went forward.

Thanks, this must have been the ruling on the field--which I think makes it a pretty poor call. The ball was obviously out. The ref closest to the play had no clue, as he signaled TD.

dawgfan · 10-15-2005, 06:55 PM

In news that should shock no one, Washington is clobbered at Autzen Stadium by the 0's. Fucking Oregon. After the near-miss at UCLA, I actually thought the Huskies had a chance this week, until I saw Oregon dismantle ASU last week that is.

Washington has a long road ahead of it to climb back to respectability. Thanks Rick, thanks Babs, thanks Gerb...

I remember talking to Babs early on in her tenure when I was stringing a Husky women's basketball game for The Seattle Times. It was so clear her hiring was political, and her emphasis was creating a politically correct sports universe. She kept talking about image, never about the quality of the teams.

She was in over her head. It took 12 years to get rid of her, and really, all she had to do was protect Neuheisel instead of make it a personal campaign to get rid of the guy she overspent on in the first place. I'd be devastated if something like that happened at Michigan - this season has been bad enough.

Start TCY2 conspiracy theory here.

And also, Jay Cutler is the best QB in the country that no one knows.

Yup, but they'll all know him come Combine time.

I'd be devastated if something like that happened at Michigan - this season has been bad enough.

Her hiring was definitely political, as she was a major pawn in President Gerberding's war against the athletic department and his resentment against the success of the football team under Don James. Gerb started the decline with his overt dislike of the football program - it was Gerb who spearheaded the reversal in penalties against the UW that switched from 2-year TV ban/1-year post-season ban to a 1-year TV ban/2-year post-season ban, a move that Don James considered a betrayal and was the cause of his resignation in disgust.

Babs was just another part of Gerb's desire to de-emphasize football at the UW. Her hiring of Neuheisel was one done without enough homework and was a ridiculous example of over-spending. The inevitable NCAA trouble Neuheisel got himself into as well as his pattern of doing well his first 2 seasons only to see his program decline the next 2 seasons and then collapse the 2 seasons following him leaving further hastened the decline.

Gilby certainly didn't help much with his uninspired coaching, but he was simply the last straw in a long chain of events that's led to the Husky football program hitting rock-bottom.

Pray for your sake that Michigan never follows a similar path...

Vandy just tied UGA 7-7 with 7 mins to go in the 2nd quarter. This is reminding me of the GT/Duke game earlier today with the better team coming out flat in the 1st half.

Tech didn't come out that flat--they just took the second quarter off. They outgained Duke by 120 yards in the first quarter and had the ball for 11 minutes, but they had yet another red zone turnover that prevented the game from being 14-0 early.

Then, they decided not to play the second quarter.

Yes, Vandy has looked pretty flat tonight.

And Dat boy run so good.

But in the second half we wear down. We give up the inevitable Big Turnover, and our thin defensive depth gets exploited. The Bruins win a high-scoring affair. I'll say 41-35.

So far so good on the prediction 28-14 halftime
