9 weeks 1 day ago The Kick Catch

Never forget that in the waning seconds of the 1997 Nebraska / Missouri game, Nebraska was poised to lose before the Nebraska receiver kicked an incomplete pass into the air only to be grabbed miraculously by another Nebraska player for a touchdown.  Ball game.  One of the luckiest, fortuitous plays you'll ever see in football.  The play is a close call as to whether the kick catch is legal---it hinges on the intent of the player who kicks the ball.  The officials concluded that it was difficult to conclude whether the player intentionally kicked it, so the play, the touchdown and Nebraska's undefeated season stood.

Michigan had no such close call/controversial victory and this half of an asterisk, if you will, should have factored into the final poll.  A win, is a win, is a win, but a win delivered by sheer happenstance and an arguably correct officiating call on the last play?   That should have diminished Nebraska's season to a slight extent in the eyes of subjective voters.

*If I remember correctly, I also believe Mr. Paterno voted Nebraska higher than UM in his final Coaches Poll ballot and then I believe he professed confusion about the issue after the fact.

Saturday’s loss at Michigan apparently felt like a hard punch to the gut for the San Diego State football team.

In the locker room after the game, many players were practically inconsolable. They were in such bad shape emotionally that head coach Rocky Long even decided to make them unavailable for questions from the media afterward. Normally, win or lose, Aztec players dutifully talk about their performance with reporters.

“They were very emotional after the game, depressed, disappointed, upset, however you want to say,” said Long, whose team dropped to 3-1 after Saturday’s 28-7 defeat. “It was a very emotional locker room after the game and not in a good sense.”

I love Chip Kelly’s little note to street agent guy that sounded eerily similar to Tres’ e-mail sign-off to Cicero?  All that was missing was a "Happy Easter" blast.  Hilarious.

“Will, I really appreciate your help in getting Trovon, Dontae, and the whole crew here this past weekend. We’ll work on getting Lache out here soon too! Thanks for orchestrating everything and all your help with these guys. I hope you enjoyed the game … Go Ducks! – Chip Kelly”

I guess the lesson here for everyone is that you should never trust a college program whose mascot rhymes with “sucks.”  Bucks, Ducks….same difference.

“In all the confusion, I know what you must be thinking, ‘Did he flip 5 Ohio kids to Michigan or was it 6?’  To tell you the truth, I’m not sure myself.  But considering that this is a .357 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world that could blow your head clear off, you gotta ask yourself, ‘Do I feel lucky Bri’onte Dunn?’  Well, do you punk?” 
49 weeks 2 days ago What he should have said....

"I say sorry to all the meth-addicted strippers and Natty Lite swilling toothless jethroes at Hineygate and all the Buckeye memorabilia dealers across the country," Pryor said. "I never meant to hurt anybody directly or indirectly with my balloon animal act at Talbott’s kid’s birthday party and I am truly a sorry sack of sh_t."


Pryor confirmed during his brief statement that he will follow the example of fellow disgraced Buckeye Cris Carter, and enter the NFL's supplemental draft, which is expected to take place sometime in July before Auto-Direct’s Labor Day Sale-a-thon.


"I'm working hard every single day to learn what a defense is, what it means to actually take a hit and to be a better tight-end who can’t block," he said. He said he also hopes to one day become a "role model" off the field for coaches, A.D.’s and administrators so that they never make a Faustian bargain ever again "with an entitled knuckleheaded kid like me."


"In terms of coach Jim Tressel, a special unredacted e-mail shoutout," Pryor said. "I'm sorry you got caught and I apologize with all my heart that we didn’t hide the evidence better. Like I do with Ted Sarniak, I love you just like a father. You taught me a lot…like how to finance cars without a co-signor….and I apologize for putting you in a situation where you were forced through the Freedom of Information Act to reveal what a fraudulent Pat Boone snake in the grass you really are and taking you out of a job and place where you had more power than THE University of Ohio State University’s President. I regret the fact that you're not honoring Mr. Talbott’s sideline credentials anymore and I regret the fact that I'm not driving my 350Z anymore."

 

“And to Kirk Herbstreit, when I asked ‘Did he ever beat Michigan?’, well, I’m sorry about that, because when the NCAA is done with this whole mess here, there won’t even be any record that I actually played against Michigan.  So, he’s got that one over on me.  Sorry.”
