You're also acting like bad calls that are 100 times worse don't happen in college. Also if the college football team you root for is bad its awful. Especially if the "Personality" of your school is a senior citizen home run by a pervert.

The refs for college are even worse than NFL refs.

I'm an Illinois "fan" and despite being in the oh so "prestigious" Big Ten they get their rear end beaten by basketball schools. Team completely sucks and is unlikeable despite having huge advantages over other colleges. It has has no chance of ever competing and winning anything other than a toilet bowl. They run generic plays ineffectively, head coach fired a few games ago for ethics violations so bad they are borderline criminal, administration completely corrupt, and our symbol is a big lovely orange I. The "Pageantry" of the college game can especially kiss my rear end.

It's a shame Kam's amazing play is being overshadowed by a controversy about rules technicalities. It's not like Wright gained an unfair advantage on the play by batting it out of the endzone. He could have just as easily grabbed the ball and sat down. Or failed to grab it more convincingly.

I agree, He could have grabbed the ball and stepped out or fell down to complete the touchback. Instead, he nonchalantly tapped the ball out of bounds, his hand giving the ball a little kiss of victory. It owned thoroughly.

Before this game, I wonder how many players knew the batted ball thing was a penalty? Hell, how many refs?

Batting balls shouldn't be a penalty. And a fumble out of the end zone shouldn't be a touchback.

It wouldn't be so bad if that wasn't the 4th missed/bungled call that indirectly decided a game against Detroit in what, 3 or 4 years? poo poo gets old real quick.

At least with Cleveland every loss is due to their own fuckups and stupid decisions.

Or more infuriatingly the 4th botched call that gave the sehawks a win. They can never bitch about Super Bowl XL again after the last few years of bullshit.


Meanwhile my team gets to battle the Saints this week for the right to be 2-3. And if the cowboys lose to the Pats, Washington loses to Arizona and the giants lose to the niners the whole division will be 2-3 and the NFC East will officially be the new NFC South.

Hey now, we used to have a lovely somewhat racist logo , but because the team isn't important like FSU or the Redskins, it was taken away.

And UIUC should pretty much stop trying to compete in football whatsoever and pour all their money into bball, because as it is they suck at both and it's miserable.

Coaches only get 2 challenges, or 3 if they get 2 right.

But then again, heaven forbid we cut into the insane amount of commercials to get calls right. You know, like the good ol' touchdown, extra point, commercial, kick off, commercial, game.

I'm guessing almost none of them given it took several minutes after the game was over for it to come out that it was a penalty. Even if the Lions had been able to challenge I bet they would have tried challenging where CJ lost control of the ball rather than whether batting the ball was a penalty or not.
