I didn't so much as think about taking a look at the game last night so they were free to have a good one! Your Welcome.

Lots of big time college jobs are open:
LSU
Penn State
Florida
Arkansas
OKie State
UCLA
Virginia Tech

The conversation with the better jobs PJ has it pretty good here where anything above 7 wins is somewhat acceptable.....the above list that isn't enough. Pretty cozy here and his buyout is pretty nice.

If your talking about the PI calls in OT, I think the officials got them both right. The bigger issue is that the Gophers played like crap against a terrible team.

But the refs moved the ball to the 25 yard line even though replay showed the player never put his knee down in the endzone. So they gifted Michigan State 23 yards. Even the announcers, on the replay, said it was clear he never put his knee down.

Stuff like that can change the outcome of games, and it's one of the reasons I rarely watch any football (pro or college) anymore.

Tim is right. The initial replays didn't show it, but they brought the rules 'expert' in and showed a different angle. He explained that since he signaled for a fair catch (and he clearly did) the fact that he got control of it in the EZ made it officially a dead ball. It didn't matter that he lost his mind and tried to run it out.

Ummmm, not sure I agree with 'both' but it's cool. I know that if they called the Gophers for PI, and you can clearly see him pulling his T-shirt, and then decide "nah, nothing to see here" about 2 minutes after the fact....I'd be livid.

Fair enough. I turned the channel after seeing what I thought was a blantant gift to Michigan State, so I didn't see the further review. Thanks for the clarification.

I can't complain about that call when the refs let far worse go all game long. Earlier in the game Brockington jumped for a ball in the endzone where the defender wrapped both his arms up from behind before the ball got there with no call. On the OT play, you could the shirt come out a little, but it didn't impede the receiver in any way. Sure things are amplified in OT, but in the end they stayed consistent with how they were calling things.
