There were only 4 seconds left and I think Idaho was out of time-outs, so really they should have been down at the 1 with the clock running and 4 seconds left. It would have been impossible for them to get any play off from there. But, there were no camera angles to tell that one (at least not that I remember), so it was just easier to argue it wasn't a catch.
A) I thought the same thing about his knees, but watching again, I don't think the ball hit his body or that he had "control" until he was in the end zone.

B) It would have been a first down inside the one (it was 2nd & 10 at the 16) and they did have a timeout left, they called it before we called one for the 2 pt. conversion.

You guys complain when other fans talk about the what if's and the ref's blew a call but here you are, doing it yourself.

Look in the mirror falcons. You are no better than anyone else.

You are just the same, just on a smaller, Mid-American level.

You tell me with a straight face, 100% honestly, that you didn't talk about the what-ifs when Ohio State blew three bowl games in the past 4 trips. :roll:
Furthermore, I would say we are better than you because we actually have to have a good season and fight for a bowl game - not handed one on a silver platter because we're in a conference with ridiculous amounts of money and too stuck up for their own good.

Actually that means you are a nobody. Everyone with 6 wins gets a bowl game now and days. If you can't get 6 wins every year then you are a nobody.

Keep being irrelevant. :butthead:

Yet notice, you made no mention of the fact that you did complain after your 3 bowl losses. Keep being a hypocrite :lol:

No...tekininny has no friends here. He's made a concious decision to be a sock puppet. Sock puppets are by definition, friendless.

Quote me an example. I only remember criticizing the poor play of the team. I do not recall playing the what ifs or putting the blame on a referee like is being done in this thread.

The guy caught the ball. Move on!

Hypocrite is exactly what each one of you who participated in this thread is.

When I get back to West Lafayette I'll take another look at the play. I've got ESPN 360 and I can take a good close look. If I see anything interesting I'll post it. From what I can tell, though, if it was incomplete and was not reversed you can blame the camera crew. All throughout the game there was a lot of sub-par camera work. Too far zoomed in, bad angles, etc. ... There were no truly good angles on that TD play, so even if there was some evidence to overturn the call, it could not have possibly been "indisputable" evidence. Because of the camera angles, the call on the field was going to be upheld and unfortunately for us, it's the call we did not want.
