No, theres in way in hell the call I am talking about was a correct call. If that Texas receiver wouldve caught that football that wouldve been the greatest catch in the history of football. But instead of 4th down & punt (which is what shouldve happened) Texas got a brand new 1st down. Our defense absolutely stuffed them on the downs following that call, but they got a cheap field goal out of the horrible call & ultimately a cheap win.
Well, to be fair, I was posting from the perspective in the stands. After seeing the review, the ball clearly hit the railing out of bounds with 1 second left on the clock. The correct call was made. However, if I as in y'all's position, I wouldn't be to happy about how it all went down either. But, as the poster above said, NU shouldn't have put themselves in the position to let a FG decide the outcome. Kick the ball inbounds, don't horsecollar Shipley, and we may be having a very different conversation.
Yes, there were bad calls on both sides on the balls. But the bad calls that went in Nebraska's favor (mostly a couple off sides penalties, they may have been legit for all I know, but I'll give Texas the benefit of the doubt) didnt affect the ultimate outcome of the game. The bad calls that went in Texas' favor did.I think that there were bad calls on BOTH sides of the ball. Unfortunately, the questionable calls in the last minute are what will stick in people's minds the most. As you stated, Marquis did not have full possession of the ball when his knee went down on the 1. There was an uncalled hold on one of the NU receivers on your second FG drive. Take away the latter and NU has a 4th and 7 and are in a punting situation. Then the last FG wouldn't have been necessary. (Albeit, I doubt that they would have kicked their final FG if this was he case)spankytoes, you don't have to admit that, bad calls are made it's part of the game. i mean, there was that one kickoff that was downed on the one, looked like the guy might have fumbled the ball on the one, who knows, just the nature of the game. in a one point game, it is anyone's game. i think UT is the better team, but by just one point. we played great, very close to our best, but that is not always enough. both teams should be proud. i appreciate your thoughts.OK, ur a Texas fan. Say what you want about the game. But will you at least admit that that pass interference call (on the out of bounds throw on a 3rd down, when Texas was out of field goal range), which ultimately gave you guys a field goal & a 13-12 win, was complete bulls&it?Just got home from the game. Before I say anything else, I want to say that the media is REALLY insulting both of our teams. Mack Brown said it best: If this were an SEC game they would be slobbing over how good a defensive showing we saw. (paraphrased)
Having said that...
Wow. I really underestimated the amount of no-quit attitude that NU showed. Let me be the first (more like 1,000,000th) to say that Suh is a man among boys. I have NEVER seen someone take control of a defense like he did. I am thanking my lucky stars that he is graduating and hope that he goes #1. If he doesn't...the Browns are utter idiots. Even my son started chanting "Suuuuuhhhhhhhhh" until I had to shush him
The game itself was awful. So many penalties and missed opportunities on both sides of the ball. There is no way to sugar coat it...your offense was terrible. But, your RBs powered their way on every run to pick up that extra yard on every play. If Lee can learn to throw, y'all will have some weapons next year.
Now, the end...
I was sitting next to 4 NU guys and we had a lot of friendly banter. It was funny. We would compliment each other during the game and in mid-sentence yell "Hell yeah! Knock that sumabitch down!" and then complete the thought. I know that this won't be popular, but there should have been 2 seconds left on the clock. I HATE the fact that the ending was so controversial. Both teams had their hearts broken at one point. I'll say this,everyone got their $ worth. Except for a drunken fool, who ended up falling down the stairs and taken out on a stretcher, your fans were pure class. I still scratch my head on why your kicker kicked the ball out of bounds...
So congrats on an outstanding showing Huskers. I know that losing puts a damper on things, but you have NOTHING to be ashamed about. Like Apollo Creed once said to Rocky "Ain't gonna be no rematch."
Hats off to you and beat the hell out of your next opponent!
It's unfortunate as a fan because you don't want to win that way. Up until the end I was prepared to say how both teams beat the hell out of each other for 60 minutes and what a classic defensive game we saw. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy (thankful) for the win. But both teams deserve better than playing the "what if" game.
Now my heartbeat has finally gotten back to normal. All I can do is sweat until they make an official announcement that we will play Bama and hope that the voters won't revolt.
Nebraska didnt put themselves in a position to let a field goal decide the game, the referees put us in that position. That pass interference call which game u guys a field goal was complete 100% pure bull****. The ball was thrown out of bounds, if ur receiver wouldve caught that ball, well then, that wouldve been the greatest catch in the history of football
that's what everyone said about the huskers when they were dominant. it is tired and boorish.
yeah, they should review the calls and penalize refs for making horrible calls, i am just saying that it is unfair to UT and their fans to blame the refs for the win, that is all.
when texas plays mizzery or colorado, or ksu i hope a nuclear bomb goes off in the stadium to rid us of them all. that is all.
