I don't see anyway Texas can beat Alabama. We have no running game to slow down the Alabama defense and just like tonight Colt McCoy is likely to get sacked 8-10 times. Huskers played their hearts out and in a lot of ways deserved to win. If they don't kick the ball out of bounds we don't start on the 40 and probably don't win. Colt McCoy almost gave them the game by his clock management on that last play, it was terrible.
Congratulations to Texas, but hats off to a great game by Nebraska and a difficult pill to swallow on that late field goal by Texas. Looks like the Big Red Machine is back. Don
No doubt, the game was there for you guys to win. KO out of bounds and horse collar tackle put the game back in play for us. I fear that we will get crushed by the Tide.
The 2 TX fans I know tried to give me a ration of **** yesterday. The funniest thing that was said was, "Hey AJ, you got a second? Cause if you don't, we do". Fochers... :lol:
Mike Greenberg made an interesting observation this morning. But for 1 second Cincy would be playing for the NC. And if Cincy were playing for the NC it's highly doubtful that Kelly would be interviewing with ND today. I could be AJ that a higher power had some effect on the outcome.
Questions Walt Anderson will never have to answer: Mr Anderson, the official clock is kept on the field by the referree, correct? That is the only clock that is official, correct? That clock showed 0:00 at the conclusion of that play, correct? Thus, the ruling on the field by the official timekeeper was that time had expired and the game was over, correct? However, at the request of Texas, the replay booth, with your approval, decided to review the play to see if the official clock on the field should be changed, correct? In doing so, you reviewed video tape of the play, with a clock superimposed on the screen by the ABC network, correct? ABC superimposes the time from the stadium scoreboard on their screen, correct? Neither the ABC or stadium scoreboard are official clocks, correct? In fact, several times a game, including in the Texas v Nebraska game, the official timekeeper on the field will tell the stadium scoreboard operator to change the time to make sure it is consistent with the time he has on his official clock, correct? And after the stadium clock changes, ABC will then change the time on it's clock it superimposes on its broadcast, correct? Thus, there is an official clock, there is the stadium clock that requires adjustment several times a game, and then there's abc's superimposed clock, which they will change after the stadium clock changes? Correct? The official on the field in this game did NOT ask the stadium scoreboard operator to adjust the clock on the scoreboard, did he? In fact, had the referee's official clock on the field showed there to be 1 second left and not 0:00, all he would've had to do is simply tell the scoreboard operator to put 1 second back on the stadium clock, correct? Just as is done in many games in college football each week when the stadium clock is not in accord with the official time kept on the field, correct? Just as was done in THIS game a couple of times, correct? There would've been no need for a review then, correct? That did not happen, however, because the official clock kept on the field showed 0:00, correct? Your replay official, after watching the ABC broadcast replay and their superimposed clock, decided that the ball hit something out of bounds with 1 second showing on the ABC superimposed clock, correct? Your replay offiicial could NOT review, or determine, what time was shown on the official on the field clock when the ball hit out of bounds, correct? Nor could he even review what the STADIUM clock showed when the ball hit out of bounds, corrrect? Thus, your replay official at no time determined that the official clock was wrong, did he? At no time did he determine that an "egregious" error was made by the official clock, did he? In fact, your replay official couldn't even determine that the STADIUM clock timekeeper made an "egregious" error, could he? In fact, what your replay official did was determine, based solely upon a review of ABC's superimposed clock, that the official clock and stadium clock should be adjusted to be in accord with the ABC superimposed image, correct? Officials indicate to stop the clock by waving their hands over their heads after a play becomes dead, correct? Your replay official did not review whether that was done properly or timely, did he? Your replay official didn't even see that happen on the ABC televised images he reviewed, did he? It is quite common, isn't it Mr Anderson, for a second, or two, to tick off after a ball hits out of bounds and while a referree is indicating by waving his arms that the clock should be stopped? Correct? Happens dozens of times a game, every game, doesn't it Mr Anderson? It happens in games you personally referee, doesn't it Mr Anderson? How many times in the last 5 years have you found those instances to be "egregious" such that you believe a replay official should've reviewed the situation? That number would be zero, correct Mr Anderson? That is because egregious, whatever it means, cannot mean something that happens routinely, PROPERLY, by referees doing their jobs appropriately, game after game after game, can it Mr Anderson? Let me see if I have this straight Mr Anderson: *the official time kept on the field showed 0:00 at the end of the game *the official timekeeper did not ask the stadium scoreboard operator to put time back on the scoreboard, as he would when he knew there was an error. *Your replay official never reviewed the official time clock. It's impossible, correct? *Your replay official never reviewed what the stadium scoreboard clock showed, correct? *Your replay official reviewed only ABC's superimposed image of the clock, correct? *Neither you, nor the replay official, know whether that image accurately reflected what the stadium clock showed, much less the official clock, do you? *Nonetheless, you and your replay official decided that an "egregious error" had occurred with the official clock based solely upon reviewing ABC's superimposed image, without knowing what the official clock said, what the stadium clock said, without knowing when the referees waved the play dead, and despite this situation happening dozens of times a game, every game all year long, correct Mr. Anderson?
AJ....I feel your pain. I would much rather UF lose 32-13 than have something like this happen. Funny thing is I don't believe Texas fans would have complained too much if the decision was no time left.
Very unusual situation. The question was asked about the offical timekeeper showing 0:00? Whjat I saw was the ABC clock/stadium clock go to 0:00 and the Huskers start to rush the field but were immediately pushed back by the officals. Mack is fast but he's not that fast with a request for review. What about whether or not the OT was able to see when the ball hit an object and did he stop the clock, or did he just let it run out? Was the ABC clock correct? If it was then things were right, why is it assumed that it was incorrect at the time, can anybody prove that?
I thought that the official time was the stadium clock unless it malfunctions and that it was adjusted based on events that happen. I know the play clock is done that way and I am pretty certain that is the case for the game clock as well. Regardless, Colt should not have let it get to that point. For a senior QB to publicly state that he didn't know the rule is unbelievable.
I think Ingram edges McCoy for the Heisman because of this one play. McCoy doesn't do it he edges Ingram. Final Heisman order: Ingram McCoy Gerhart Tebow Suh
I think Mr. Suh is gonna suprise alot of folks. He's already raking up the Hardware this week, and if you think about it, the Heisman is prime for a twist this year. I do believe the voters are gonna do just that this year.
Now those are funny, also probably true. The guy is one of the best DL's I've seen since Julius Peppers at UNC.
