Well they did have 100+ yards more than us and twice as many first downs. I thought their offense was better than ours and their defense was just as good as ours. Our special teams looked superior......and then.....i quit.

I haven't looked at it again, but I do think Jourdan Lewis could have been called for a PI on Aaron Burbridge when Lewis fell and grabbed onto Burbridge's leg.

I'm ok with the Shelton play on the sideline being called a catch. I thought it was actually a blown call in the other direction. You missed the pass interference call where the MSU receiver ran into the ref and started falling down, which caused the Michigan defender to run into him. The play would have resulted in a big turnover (Cook was intercepted on the play) as well as a big run back into MSU territory.

The ejection was, as many have said, inexcusable, the rule itself sucks as is, but afer replay to say that was targeting when the lineman threw Bolden down into Cook is beyond comprehension.
Henry's personal foul was complete bullshit, not only were people still moving and the play in the process of being blown dead, not blown dead but in the process, but he seemed to land on his fellow Michigan teammates for the most part. Also, given how the refs were taking thier time blowing the whistle (Sione's TD) and that per Harbaugh via what he said in the post game press conference, the kids were told during the game not to assume that they are going down, it was for lack of a better term BULLSHIT. **Also on Sione's TD, I think his foward progress was stopped but if the whistle did not blow it really does not matter and on plays where you are not really reviewing whether the runner got into the endzone (it is clear he did not go down to the ground until he was in the endzone) what kind of sense does it make to use slow mo replay, cannot really get a good grip on the discontinuance of forward progress while looking at something that progresses at one frame per hour (in slow motion). Or at least that is like my opinion man.
Butt's Catch - I thought he caught it, he thought he caught it, Spielmann thought he caught it, the referee closest to the play did not say that Butt didn't catch it, but that muthafuckan ref that I believe just happened to be within ears distance of Mork said it was not a catch. Given all that, on replay it looked as if it might have possibly touched the ground and because of that, it was correct to not be over turned in a sense. Meaning if it would have been called a catch, like it seemingly would've been if not for that ref that was probably getting ear fucked by Mork, the catch call would've /should've stood on replay too. This leads right into the sideline incompletion/catch.
The sideline incompletion - I, maybe wrongfully, go by the premise that the ball is not instantaneously "possessed" the moment hand(s) make contact with the exterior of the football, there has to be at least a fraction of a second after touching the football were possession actually begins, or at least that is what logic leads me to believe, with that in mind, the call was called an incompletion on the field, the kid made an outstanding effort to tap/drag his right foot (I believe it was the right) however, I do not know how anyone can indisputably say that after he possessed, not touched but clearly possessed the ball, that foot was still in bounds, it honestly looked out to me. If it had been called a catch on the field I truly would've had no problem with it standing but the fact that it was called an incompletion, it should have not been overturned. Unless of course I am wrong and the moment the ball makes contact with the hand(s) possession is assumed, in which case the ball did begin to touch his hand while that tippy toe seemingly was stilll scraping the green, seemingly.
There was a facemask on Rudock's self completion - there was, that is all that is to it, (amazing what is seen and what is not).
Aslo there was no way on the 70+ yard pass to the fullback (C'mon Delano), that he was not in the endzone, I know they scored on the next play but it just shows how fucked up the replay official was some more.
As people have also mentioned in other threads the refs missed an obvious penalty on the last punt for blowing up the LS, that is called and Michigan receives a first down and wins, and there really is no justification for missing it, none. My nephew who has had to long snap the last 2 weeks for his freshman team since the starter broke his hand, has had some bad snaps and I told him they are not able to hit you on the snap so quit worrying about getting smashed and just get the ball back there. Maybe the snap was a little low to Blake because the zebras did not know this rule and all game they had been blowing up the LS, so he was worried, I do not know honestly if that is the case, did not pay attention until the replay and others mentioned it, because it is NOT my job to pay attention to that, though it IS the refs job to pay attention to that. **In 2006, there was a similar thing that happened and I think they did not call it then either against Tress and the Tat -eyes. I could be wrong about that though.
It was one of the worst games I have ever been witness to, and I thought that prior to 10 seconds remaining on the clock. Blake falls on it and they probably win on a missed hail mary attempt, have to say probably becasue I mean we are talking about Mork -
He wins the Rose Bowl, were the Stanford DB's drop multiple pics that hit them between the numbers,
Wins last years Bowl game against Baylor because Baylors D-lineman for some reason unknown to mankind, blocks a MSU lineman, who is over 15 yards behind the fastest LB on D after an interception, in the back as he returns it for a game sealing TD,
Wins against Oregon this year becasue Vernon Adams over throws a WIDE open WR at like the 5 after the MSU DB falls down with a little over a minute remaining in the game,
Wins a tight game against Rutgers, that ends with the Rutgers QB clocking the ball on 4th down.
I think Mork might have actually sold his soul to the Devil, I mean he does look like a soul-less man, no?
With that, I hope Mork has now used up all his credit he seemingly negotiated with Lucifer and that his reign of terror is over. I believe 2 losses are all that will be there on Michigan's side at the end of the year before the bowl they go to and I believe as long as the black magic has run out for Mork that they will lose to Nebraska (becasue I want that to happen) and O$U (because Mork's deal with Satan is not superior to Liar's*), and if that happens the pain of this game will be in some ways bearbable.
*I wonder if Satan had a deal going on, because it seems like O$U has a 4 leaf clover stuck up thier ass too.
