Remember when someone posted a thread about the threat the Cal RB Ott was?

That's not a transposition. It's 7 for 2, not 2 for 7.

Refs put Miami at 3rd and 20 close to the goaline, that's usually curtains. No reason to throw that flag if theres a conspiracy to save Miami.

Not even going to mention the phantom PI on Brown or Ott stepping out

I think all of their irate fans (and all of the haters online from other colleges) need to go and watch Wilcox's post game interview.

He refuses to even discuss the 'controversial' call and states they had multiple opportunities to win the game - multiple moments (including that 3rd and 20) to make a stop and they couldn't.

Someone explain the illegal man downfield comments. I thought an OL could be downfield as long as they are actively blocking an opponent.

I can explain it perfectly.... The image everyone keeps posting is when he catches the ball and not when it was thrown. You can see he is clearly 3 yards downfield bec the ball was snapped at the 5. Also here is the rule that says 3 yards is good.

Forgetting but that wasn't 4th and goal anyway, was it? Say we got penalized, we still had timeouts and we had been converting pretty much everything at this point.

He did have a long catch-and-run for a touchdown where he stepped out of bounds, though...

And then proceeded to a lengthy celebration including getting in the middle of a circle of Cal cheerleaders and grabbing a pair of pom-poms to dance with them.

Which is totally cool with the refs and tv commentators. Because, you know, Cal.

If a Miami player had done that, everyone including the refs would’ve been totally okay with it too. Obviously. Especially since Miami has ACC refs in their pockets.

(But spinning the ball after a TD is strictly forbidden. For Miami, I mean.)
 
Funny, I was very indifferent to Cal before our game, but I respect them now. Our little brothers on the other hand are still whiney ***aloons.

Imagine crying because a guy was half a yard down field and you needed to be bailed out by a targeting penalty? How about having a national championship literally taken from you on a bogus call. Come back to me when that happens.

Here is the point of release, from the infamous ESPN camera angle (and from a couple seconds later in the play) that has been used to "definitively" prove that there was an "ineligible man downfield" penalty that should have been called.

Note that when Cam is releasing the ball, ONE of the two "downfield lineman" is NOT beyond the 2 yard line (OLs get a 3-yard buffer), so 50% of the Cal "they had two OLs downfield" argument IMMEDIATELY goes up in flames.

As for the second OL, his toes are definitely inside the 2 yard line, but you would need a mass spectrometer to determine how much of his body is inside the 2. If this were a soccer match, they would rule that he is even with the 2 yard line. Of course, none of the refs on the field threw a flag, so there was nothing egregious that would cause a ref to throw a flag.

Compare/contrast those with the "picture that is worth a thousand fraudulent words" (below).

1. Facemask penalty NOT CALLED.
2. Ball is already halfway to the receiver.
3. YES, by THIS POINT, Markel Bell has FINALLY just made it inside the 3 (NOT a penalty) and Anez Cooper is making it to the goal line (NOT a penalty).
