In a heartbeat, dickhead.

The game should have been over by about a hundrit different ways. Yet, OSU tosses some lob out of bounds, the refs blow the call, the play downfiled ona Hail Marty works, the lateral--

 

Come on, shit head--Boinky State's play was good--but this was other-worldly.

It's even more impressive than that. Oklahoma State took a timeout with 4 seconds left, threw it deep out of bounds, got an intentional grounding penalty, and the refs gave one untimed down to CMU. Central then won on the hail mary. The announcers are even saying that they should have ended the game after the intentional grounding, but I'm not sure about the rule. Crazy game.

And a grounding call led a 10-second run-off at Michigan Stadium a week ago when Hawaii was ruled having failed to throw a pass that cleared the LOS with less than 10 seconds remaining. Thus, that penalty should have led to the game ending unless there is a rule giving the opposition an option not to accept that part of the penalty.

but Okla St was on offense.

I didn't see it, but I'm pretty sure the refs got that one wrong.

Now here's an interesting angle...that's a correctable call.  Since the game should have been over with play stopped, you could declare Okla St the winner on appeal without any concerns of changing the universe.  The game WAS over w/ Okla St winning, and CMU won not on subsequent Spartan Bob-like biased judgment but rather on an incorrect interpretation of a rule in a situation in which no one can dispute the facts.

I doubt there's language to cover such an appeal, but if I was Okla St, I'd get my lawyers working on it.

I thought back then, do now, and wonder how Harbaugh could have fucked that up so badly. Deep snap to Ruddock, he runs back about twenty yards, outside the box, and just heaves it out of bounds as far as he can/ 

I'd take my chances on a hail mary with three seconds to go instead of a stupid rugby catch-think-run-punt asshat play.

DUDE! 

Flipped away because OSU was running out the clock. Thread title brought me back, caught the replay. Wow.

If (big if) Michigan is good enough to compete for the playoff, this is another blow to the Big 12. It is possible that after the TCU-Arkansas game, only Baylor will be left among undefeated Big 12 teams with legit playoff aspirations. In resume comparisons that makes a big difference.

Perrera (sp?) read the rule out loud.  You don't give the untimed down with an offensive penalty that involves loss of down.  Plain as day.  Bad screw up.
