ND getting bulls*** calls again. That pass interference call was a disgrace.

Some things never change...Hinrich still is awful at the end of games.

Thrilled with the move, as I have a feeling the contracts this offseason are going to be insane. League's already getting 22.5 for 3 years from the Dodgers. I have to give Peavy a lot of credit, as he could have easily received deals for more years and money on the open market. I think we can officially state that the Sox won't be going into full rebuilding mode this offseason.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) Q for Moose would be a great deal for both teams. Resign Peavy and call it an off-season. I would hope for KC's sake they could get a starting pitcher more projectable than Quintana. I'm sure they'll try to get guys like Hellickson, Matt Moore, etc.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 02:54 PM) Do you think Johnson should be fired? That seems to be the consensus among every GT fan I hear on the local sports talk shows. Also, now that the AD left to take the job at Clemson, I think it's much more likely that the new AD will want to bring in "his guy." If they fire him, they'll owe him 10 million dollars. After the debacle with Hewitt's "lifetime" contract, the GT Athletic Department has no prayer of affording that much money. Johnson will get one more year, and if it goes poorly maybe he'll walk away (especially with the AD leaving, like you said). Thankfully they have significantly better QBs waiting in the wings than the current one who's been under center the last two years.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 03:40 AM) Yeah, Edsall has had some horrible luck. I can't even imagine playing a LB at QB. Like, you pretty much just run the ball every play right? And the occasion screen or something where he doesn't have to throw downfield. GT's defense is brutal, and it's possible they'll be starting a freshman at QB in the game. I expect a close game.

That final segment was so flat tonight.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 01:42 AM) Tennessee and Georgia Tech had a "secret" scrimmage today where media wasn't allowed and no one is allowed to talk about it, report a score, etc. But, more than one source has said Tennessee dominated (without arguably our best player). Getting me excited for basketball season. It's not surprising, GT is going to suck again in basketball this year until they start benching their veterans for their more talented young player. With that said, UT has 3 very good players in Golden, Stokes and Maymon.

Benji, the 30 for 30 tonight, might be one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

Shoulder injury, it would appear

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 21, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) I thought Geno Smith has the Heisman wrapped up? AJ McCarron deserves to be in the discussion with his 16-0 TD/INT numbers so far.

Collin Klein's having quite the night. He actually reminds me a ton of Tebow when he was at Florida.

Never thought I'd see the day that Vinny Pestano's name was used as part of a joke during a sitcom.

I demand Tebow play more when the Bears aren't on, as it least it makes Jets games more entertaining.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 07:25 PM) Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes the higher angle shows more and sometime a lower angle shows more. Depends on the play and where the officials are. So only when it favors the team you root for Kidding HHuskers, I'm done talking about that game.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 07:22 PM) Refs had different angles than the cameras. At least one of them saw a knee on the ground. Didn't you just say that it's hard to make a call at ground level sometimes and it's much more clear 100 feet away?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 07:21 PM) That is the point. How could the refs call him down when they cant see his knees? You cant just guess that the player is down. Perfect post

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 07:14 PM) Bogus pass interference call? You're really grasping at straws. Better hurry out to your local Target and buy some BYU gear before next Saturday. BYU has no prayer vs them next week. It would be quite ironic if Kansas finds a way to knock out Landry Jones before the game in two weeks.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 07:17 PM) Why throw when you scored running the ball in? How would they know the refs would make up a call on 4th down. Eventhough he was never down game over! Nothing to see here folks! I cant really fault Stanford when the runner scored, hell they possibly scored on 2 out of 4 downs. Why would they not run? Nunes isn't exactly trustworthy anyways. That guy short-armed easy throws all game.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) I will say that from what I've seen of the replay, it was not conclusive enough to overturn regardless of which way it was originally called. The fact they didn't review it was the most puzzling call of the game, as I pointed out as soon as it happened. That's a play you see reviewed 100% of the time.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 07:08 PM) 4 calls? There was the personal foul penalty and the end zone play. The bogus pass interference call and the 2nd down play that should have been reviewed. Even ND fans, from what I've seen, are acknowledging that Taylor was likely in on that one. You seem to be the only person who is arguing that they didn't get the benefit of the calls.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 06:04 PM) There's a big difference between "ND got the benefit of 50/50 calls" and "Stanford got jobbed". 4 straight gigantic calls (50/50, if you want to call it) in the 4th quarter and OT going ND's way = upset fans that feel refs helped out a particular team in a game that was very evenly matched If those 50/50 calls all went against ND, I guarantee you that 99% of the Irish fans would be saying the refs hosed them.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) Perspective from field level is very different from high up in the stands or on camera. Guy was leading with his head and that's going to get flagged nearly every time. The ref doesn't get the benefit of being 100 feet up in the air to see whether or not it's the head or shoulders that make the contact. So aren't you basically saying that maybe it's the wrong call then? No one is saying it wasn't a violent hit.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 05:32 PM) I'm not complaining about the play. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of everybody who wants to complain about the refs only when they benefit ND. Well, I still say ND got a gift TD against Purdue when Golson fumbled into the end zone. However, I thought the lack of a delay of game call against them on the final drive against Purdue was a bad call, but I admit ND got screwed on the fake fg vs Michigan St. a few years back when that should have been a delay of game.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 05:27 PM) You're right, it's not comparable. The video evidence is 100% conclusive that Bush was pushed. The video evidence isn't 100% that the player wasn't down before crossing the line. I can't believe someone is saying posters are losers for whining about the refs in a game that happened less than 24 hours ago, but then complaining about a play from 2005 on a call that is never flagged as a penalty. I guess those weren't trained refs in 2005 then that know better than random message board posters?
