Nobody homers like a Notre Dame homer

Whether he's in or not is pretty irrelevant when forward progress is called.

they didn't blow it dead, it was ball placement

How do they place the ball without blowing the play dead?  He was on laying on top of bodies until fumbled the ball.

what was being reviewed then if they blew it dead before the final push towards the end zone?  not being obtuse, i just think i'm just not following or being a dumbass or something.  i assumed they were reviewing it based on that final push like any other questionable "did he get in?" call

Your first statement was confusing by saying "they didn't blow it dead".  I think I'm with you that I think they blew it dead before he reached/fumbled.  I have no idea if that's reviewable or what they were reviewing.  I didn't think a play was reviewable for what happens after the whistle is blown, with the only exception being a clear fumble and recovery.

well i assumed based on the fact that they were reviewing it that the placement of the ball on that final "continuation" where he reached it to the goal line and lost the ball, ignoring the initial push he got stonewalled on.  i thought emawmeister was saying that it was blown dead for forward progress on the initial push that he got stood up on and shouldn't have been reviewed (if they did blow it dead for forward progress there, then, well, yeah game over)

Yeah.  I think I lost context of the thread/your post and misread it.

Yeah, normally, I'd probably be all like, Currie!  , but since we're ranked ahead of them, I'm just all, Bosco .

ND one you butt hurt tree fans. Go rudy.

[Dr.Spaceman]

everyone seems to miss the fact that the runner's elbow touched the ground just before he extended the ball over the goal line.  Oh well, ND is still undefeated.

Seriously, how bad is OU going to roll that crap ND team?

Might finally see the mercy rule used in college.

Lou Holtz has the biggest smug, crap-eating grin on his face right now.

Fuckin hate ND but I fuckin love Lou Holtz.   I would have ran through a brick wall for that tiny man. 

[SdK]

Holtz is the Dickie V of NCAAFB. I hate him.

[jtksu]

Well, minus the whole NC thing for Lou.  Also, Lou actually knows what he's talking about and his schtick isnt based entirely on random sayings.  Sure, Lou plays the role of the good guy cheerleader but nothing like Dickie V.
