Not even.

In NCAA football it has to be the 5 downs Colorado got to "beat" Mizzou a while back.

So this will just be another one of those "oh my gosh the football game changed my life" thread's like when the Steeler's won the Super Bowl?  What's it matter, really?

I agree, this was an absolutely horrible call. Just as bad, if not worse, was the call that gave Colorado a 5th down to score.

In both cases, the crew in the zebra shirts should have been fired.

I assume you did read my first post?  If so, I agree with yours.  :D

You have to be passionate about the sport to really feel it when bad calls are made. I dont watch college football, but I hate when those in charge of any game...be it a game of jacks, screws up.

I beg to differ. It's not the quanity, it's the quality. Theismann is THE worst evar.

Worst call?  Hardly.

A couple of seasons ago, PSU was doing pretty well.  They came up against a tough team and were beating them, but just barely.  The season was before instant replay (take note, this is important).

Anyway, the other team was driving for a score and pushing reasonably well.  On 3rd and 10, the opposing team threw a 15 yard pass.  The reciever went up in the air, making his body horizontal.  The ball hit him in the stomach, and bounced straight down.  At the time the reciever was about 5 feet in the air.  The reciever fell ontop of the ball, and it was ruled a catch.  PSU went on to lose the game, and their season sucked from there on out.


It is argued that it was this play and this play alone that was the sole reason that instant replay was reinstituted back into college games.

this goal was disallowed because the referee and linesman didnt think the ball had crossed the line.
