HuskersGJ
Special Teams Player
I watched the end of the Alamo segment and expected it to be worse. You have Woody Paige, enough said, and the other guy i think tries his best to balance idiocy and jerkism.
but Woody actually pointed out other non-calls on the last play-- at least two guys holdings by Michigan.
They complained about and circled Michigan coaches who were on the field and partially blamed them for their own players not cutting back to the middle of the field.
Woody suggested that the Huskers that made the tackle could have been a "redshirted freshman off the sideline". actually it wasn't, Woody, but i know that any form of "research" is way too much to ask.
The conclusion was that because of players/coaches on the field for both teams, the play should have been redone from the original line of scrimmage (of course if there were holding calls...).
They also blamed the NCAA for not creating some kind of concrete rule for such situations after the Cal/Stanford game.
but then, it was good 'ol ESPN again. in their assessment of BC they said "oh, he only beat a "fading" Michigan team and a not-so-good CU team. :bang
gee, that's odd, Michigan wasn't "fading" before the game. they were in a bowl game that was well beneath them, facing a team that was well beneath them, sure they lost four but they beat PSU and most of their losses were to BCS-quality teams, etc, etc. they were supposed to win by double digits-- remember? but then Nebraska wins and its, "well, Michigan wasn't really that good." :dumdum
poor ESPN, so upset that one of their beloved Little 10ers lost to a team they were supposed to beat.
*ESPN - the worldwide leader in Big 10 excuses*
to top it off, and this is the kicker, Woody suggested that BC won't succeed b/c you can't have a pass offense in Nebraska because "its cold". :rollin
no kidding. well, good thing we also can't win on grass, eh Woody?
if that's one of the rationals they're down to now as to why BC won't succeed.... :thumbs :thumbs
