Things that make you go HMMM

I am speechless. I really have nothing to say. Both teams played hard. Both teams brought everything they had to offer. Both teams played their hearts out. It is to bad that only one team could win. It is to bad that three calls (bad calls, good calls, no difference) change the outcome of this game.

The first call that I was unhappy with is the screen pass to Allen. He was in bounds, there is no proof that he was out. Every angle showed him in, there was not angle that "clearly without a doubt" showed him out. If that is the case, the call on the field must stand, TOUCHDOWN.

There is the holding call on Sam Young. Young is allowed to have his hands inside, and on the replay they were. The Michigan d-linemen was blocked by another ND linemen and put sideways. I can understand why the ref called this if he did not see the other linemen, but it was NOT the correct call. We would have been down to the four yard line, and I think we would have had another TOUCHDOWN.

The whistle on Allen on his touchdown run. ESPN counted and there was seventeen NCAA players that "quieted the crowd" on Saturday. Only Allen was given the flag. The rule reads that you can NOT make gestures to the crowd that are unsportsman. Such as pointing to the crowd in a show of disrespect. The Michigan QB sure pointed to the crowd on two different occasions, but no flag was thrown. And there is no doubt that on one occasion he pointed to the ND fan section. SO NO 15 YARD FLAG.

Did you know that Michigan will NOT allow any other refs but BIG TEN refs in their stadium for games? Typically you are allowed to bring refs from you conference on away games, and ND (yes they are independent but they use Big East refs) allows outside conference refs. Again, things that make you go HMM..

CHEERS!!!
