Chain was definitely controversial. However, my brother and I noticed that on the next measurement, when Delaware had the ball, the person controlling the "yellow line" in the booth was not doing a great job. We thought.. No Way.. he's a foot short and then realized it was the yellow line that was off by a foot. Definitely did NOT make it easy for TV viewers to figure out what happened.
I saw the same thing. Where they ball was spotted and was a first down was almost on the black line and well short of the unofficial yellow there.
and yes, Ursus, I was jesting. I predicted the reverse of what happened in another thread. While I am left shaking my head at the call, and subsequent clusterfuck that was that review process... much like the Bison, all the Hens had to do was step up and stop them... and they didn't.
Hats off to EWU, they earned it. Enjoy the National Championship.

Exactly. The review was fucked up, but I think the refs got it right.

No BluHen, you're fucked up!
See, I told you.
Told me what? That you are an unimaginative drone with no wit? You started talking days ago about how you were gonna go on a rampage tonight and this is the best you've got? Stick with the drunk and bitter schtick, it's stale and lame, but at least it's original.

Actually, figured I would stay sober and not be a complete dick in case UD did in fact lose. If you notice, after EWU pulled ahead I kept my mouth shut about the UD putdowns.

Say bitch. Didn't you guys lose to Lehigh? Thought so. Oh yeah, your basketball team is ranked well below Montana.

Of course he just had some really nice throws...just to spite me.
Hell, if that is the way they want to play, I predict Delaware will win.
Here is the turning point in the game, when I finally made a choice. My picks for the playoffs have been nothing short of horrific. As soon as I picked Delaware, the tide turned.
Seems TXST had people on the EWU bandwagon. I just found out that one of the admins', over at BCF, dad was an EWU linebacker, back in the late 60's. So he and his dad were watching and are pretty happy right now.
I know him (the admin) but not his last name (pretty pathetic after 6 years)
Pathetic that you're going to denigrate one of the biggest comeback victories in FCS Championship history with this bullshit. You are actually telling me they made the wrong call, reviewed it twice, and still made the wrong call? I don't see the UD fans on here bitching about the call. Maybe it's because (unlike some of the pussy NDSU fans on this board), they are actually gracious in defeat.
Here's a newsflash for you - every single questionable call that you NDSU folks have been bitching about since that game was reviewed. What the **** else do you want?
Congrats to the University of Delaware on a great season. You kicked our asses up and down the field the entire first half.
We've just won so many games like that this year, I wasn't entirely surprised. Never quit, always gotta keep the faith.

Ranger, I've come to like you a lot so don't take this the wrong way.
I was just talking to SE174 on the phone and told him that I was glad you guys as fans have went through some of this silly "bad calls" BS. I'll bet it gives you new perspective on how **** dumb and sore loserish some of you have sounded in the past. It was the EWU Eagles that won those games and if some retard wants to argue that it was the refs then so be it. They are wrong.
I think TTBF was not serious in that post and was more poking fun at what a big deal had been made out of the bad calls. He has never before shown a proclivity to being an asshat (on football ) so I don't think it's his way now either.
Ursus,
No offense taken. I probably over reacted some, but its been sort of a sore subject. I see where you're coming from, and it is well taken. I guess my only caviat would be that we've had the benefit of re-play throughout these playoffs. I've never mentioned it before, but I was at the semi-final game against YSU in 97 when EWU lost a fumble that never was. It was 10 times more apparent than any of the close calls we've seen. We never had the benefit of replay or review back then - just had to accept it. So I understand what its like. Bottom line is all the plays were reviewed and even if any of them were indeed bad calls, wiNing teams find ways to overcome them.
UD lost in a similar way NDSU and Nova did - because they could not stop the pass in the final minutes. Had nothing to do with refs or anything like that. Just think we had the magic this year.
