College Football - Week of 9/23

[Soul]

Holy blown coverages Batman.

 

ND strikes back, 31-21 MSU.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Attn Davie and Herbstreit: Crowds don't go crazy when their team is on offense, that's why they're "dead". When Notre Dame gets the ball, the crowd will get loud again.

[Andy]

Another 3 and out, and a terrible punt gives ND the ball inside MSU's 45. A score here would do wonders.

[Soul]

The fabled momentum swing. That pendulum......she's a swingin'

[Andy]

Is Brent Musburger out of his mind? When you're down by 10 in the 2nd half, you don't have the luxury of playing "field position".

There's over 20 minutes left in the game, going for it on 4th and long isn't exactly a no-doubt decision.

[Soul]

Whoa. Rapid deterioration of weather conditions!

Yes, but you also have to play to the weather too. I think the go-for on 4th down was a bad call by Weiss.

 

TD MSU.

[Andy]

I don't care if you are playing in sludge, tackling like that is inexcusable.

[Soul]

Now Quinn's got to stage a huge passing-attack comeback in gale-force winds.

[Andy]

If God ever liked Notre Dame, this rainstorm in a 16-point deficit is pretty good proof that He doesn't anymore.

 

If MSU scores here it's over.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

haha, Ringer slid for like 15 yards there

 

that's perfect backyard football weather

Re: Kirk's comment about a blatant hold by MSU...

 

Holding calls this season: On ND - 12, on ND's opponents - 0

 

Edit - I spoke too soon. MSU becomes the first ND opponent to be whistled for holding this year. And it came at a good time.

Clearly the refs are out to get Notre Dame. What are your thoughts on the personal foul on Trannon?

I didn't see it, but nothing I said would change your guys' mind anyway since you all think the media and the refs all love the Irish.

[Andy]

Zibby's punt return for a score comes back. Fantastic. :roll:

 

Edit - looks like they were right to call a penalty, but it was actually a block in the back, not holding.

[fibro]

Wow Bob Davie is worse announcer than he was a coach. How did get this gig?

Suffice it to say if you had seen it, you probably would have thought better of making the case that the refs are against ND :wink:

 

Just saying......it was a total rape by the refs of MSU. Right in front of the MSU alumni, too.

[Andy]

The reverse of the wind shift game against USC in 1999 apparently as the wind turns around against ND.

 

Hello mediocrity.

[Butterscup1679666578]

This thread died after ndistops' depressing post...so...

 

M-I-Z!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Z-O-U!

[Andy]

How are we still in this game???

[Andy]

HOW IS THAT NOT PASS INTERFERENCE

[Transmogrified Tiger]

HOW IS THAT NOT PASS INTERFERENCE

 

Because Bob Davie says so

Davie also said we should have run a draw on 3rd and 5 when we haven't run it well all day.

 

WTF WEIS! PASS THE BALL FOR 2!!!!!!!!
