Wolverines now piling it on MSU 24-0 in the 2nd half.
They'll be moving up in the polls.
Told ya.
Well, I couldn't leave. I peeked and I thought since we were doing so badly while I wasn't looking, that meant I needed to come back and cheer on my team. You see the results.
Now I really am going to get ice cream. All the way to Brenham, lol!
Hook Em!
Bye, bye gooners!
INTERCEPTION!! lololololol
What total bullshit in the USC game. Washington caught a pass for a 1st down at the USC 15 with 6 seconds left, and then the bastard homefield clock operator ran the clock down to :02, even though the ref was signaling for a clock stoppage between 6 and 5 seconds left. The officials huddled to talk about it, so USC fans and Pete Carroll were going nuts to start the clock, but in the end the gutless Pac-10 coward officials decided to not change the time, backed up before starting the clock and apparently Washington didn't hear the whistle and got the snap off as the clock hit zero.
2 of the biggest referee F'ups this year committed by Pac-10 refs, both of them saving the asses of the conferences only undefeated* teams. What total bullshit.
For reference, Washington had driven in the final 1:30 from their 20 to the USC 15, trailing 26-20. Completely inexcusable to let the homefield clock operator milk it down, then confer and not correct it by going to the replay.
I agree, Washington may or may not of gotten a TD but they should have been allowed to play. I call BS with you.
USC lucks out two games in a row now.
I was watching and you are right. Pac 10 refs suck.
Oh well dang. Well congrats to Florida. We still have some good games ahead of us. Plus the SEC championship is still in the hunt. We might meet Florida again
Hook'em!!!!
The only thing wrong with the end of the game was that the officials gave Washington the equivalent of a free timeout, and one free play.
Washington was too stupid to snap the ball. Tough noogies.
My team won. We benefited from a bad call, but since we won by 18 it didn't matter.
I would think that USC fans would be pissed at the homer clock operator tainting the victory if you could have stopped the final play, but perhaps you realized that cheating may have saved your season. Just win, baby. Nice ethics.
Shut up, there were dozens of non-called holds for USC, we are talking about the ending(holds the last refuge of the scoundrel to mention in a game). There should have been 5 seconds on the play clock and you know it. Personally I could care less about either team.
shhhhhh...remember USC fans are NEVER wrong.
Mountaineers with a convincing win in the boxscore, but not on the field. Soft defense and too many 15-yard penalties.
Ohio State are head and shoulders better than any others. If WVU somehow ends up facing them in Glendale AZ in January it won't be pretty.
BS. Watch the replays, the Washington player was down at 6 seconds and the ref calling for clock stoppage at 5 seconds. Total BS to allow it to go down to 2 and not correct it. What the heck else would cause the refs to waste so much time and be conferencing about during the clock stoppage after the ball had been set? They knew there was an issue about the clock, but refused to go to the replay to get it correct.
Bottom line, there have been 3 huge referee f'up's this season:
1) Pac10 officials completely screwed the pooch and gave Oregon a bogus victory
2) SEC ref's had a questionable call that MAY have cost LSU a game
3) Pac10 ref's screwed the end of this game and MAY have saved USC from a loss that would likely have kept them out of the mythical nat'l championship game
SEC and Big 12 ref's have been well known for their incompetence, looks like that the Pac10 is trying to grab that torch.
