M @ Minny - In Game, Post Game Discussion

[hack]

Yeah. You're gonna have a hard time convincing anyone Michigan got away with very much there. Apparently lining up in the endzone is legal these days on the last play of a game.

I'd like to know more about this targeting business.

A win, is a win, is a win.
Anytime you lose your starting QB on the road and come away with a win, it's a good thing.

Hoke should join interim coach Tracy Claeys' staff, he'd fit right in with their buffoonery!

[froot loops]

What is Seth's Refspectation on that?

[hack]

I hope they do it. I'd like to know myself about this targeting situation.

[froot loops]

I didn't see the play, Dan Dierdorf said it was a legal, vicious hit.

Here's Vines of the two that weren't called, and look a lot worse than the doink that ejected Bolden two weeks ago:

Are Vines embeddable?

Looks like Peppers overcame his bout with Chlamydia to have one hell of a game.

Before he heads to the NFL I'd like to see a national title and a legitimate Heisman.

Interesting

Oh God, you fall for this too? Thought this was just twitter troll garbage. Refs spotted the ball at the half yard line. Looks like the C is offsides.

It looked to me on the replay that the DL was awfully close to the ball. If it was the DL's fault, well, so what? No reason to expect anyone here to see that as anything other than our turn to benefit from the awful reffing. If it was the center moving the ball, then we can let the ref evaluation focus solely on the targeting calls that didn't come, including after a helmet-to-helmet hit on our QB that knocked him out of the game.

As long as there is a "perceptible separation" between the teams on the LOS, most wing officials will leave that call alone. Teams are ALWAYS going to crowd the LOS on goal line situations. Its a good non-call.

At worst, a nit-picky wing official drops his flag before the snap, and penalizes Michigan half the distance. Would Minny have scored from there? I doubt anyone in here would guarantee that result either.

[Rocky Bleier]

The hit Rudock took as he was going out of bounds reminded me of Crable's hit on Smith in the 2006 osu game. Gopher led with his head. The second hit was a result of Rudock sliding, but if Bolden's hit was targeting this was much worse. If a QB begins to slide is a defender supposed to pull up? Don't know how that's possible.

fuckin' refs

[iam416]

LOL. Always.

The Penn State-M game is always worth it simply to peruse both fanbase message boards to assess how badly each was screwed over.

The hit Rudock took as he was going out of bounds reminded me of Crable's hit on Smith in the 2006 osu game.

Yep. That one cost Michigan a victory.

Many times the determining factor is where the hit occurs. The Crable hit happened in Columbus, on the OSU sideline, right in front of Tressell. Its an easy, and cowardly call to give the home team what they're yelling for. Especially when its borderline, and you have the authority to tip the scales.

Yep. That one cost Michigan a victory.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. For so many reasons. Fortunately the superior team won, though it was closer than it should have been with that garbage TD at the end against the prevent.
