Wow, so I yell out to a Bama co-worker that just walked in, "Sorry about the

We were 9-4 and received votes in the final AP poll. Hope that helps if you need a rebuttal later.

Without paying players either.

So what- Every year as BYU fans we know next year might be the year. AL doesn't

You can just say, "well, we won the last game that we played."

Honestly he has a right to be upset. Those non-calls on the pick plays were

On 1 pick play. There were also plenty of non calls on Alabama that Clemson

Uhh, watch the replays. They were screwed twice.

1/10/17 8:14am

I agree with the first one. On the second the DB initiated contact which then

1/10/17 8:16am

exactly, the DB is the one who grabs the receiver and pulls him infront of his

Even if the DB didn't initiate contact, and the WR did... He's within 5 yds, and

Guarantee you that's called 99% of the time in the NFL

Windward_Coug

1/10/17 8:52am

I guarantee you this was a college, not an NFL, game

jdub

1/10/17 8:59am

I'm guessing you didn't read your own link. It explains why they weren't flagged

jdub

1/10/17 8:18am

I posted because it has clear video evidence. I don't agree with the article

Windward_Coug

1/10/17 8:23am

So, despite the explanation that shows it wasn't an penalty

jdub

1/10/17 8:37am

The rules state that if WRs block more than a yard downfield before ball is

Windward_Coug

1/10/17 8:58am

Can you post me the rule?

jdub

1/10/17 8:59am

Here are more people that disagree with you, and they reference the rule

jdub

1/10/17 9:07am

Sure

Windward_Coug

1/10/17 9:20am

So, you started out by actually NOT stating the rule, but by quoting

jdub

1/10/17 9:39am

The defender has a right to stand his ground. If a receiver runs into him he can

Windward_Coug

1/10/17 9:51am

He can stand his ground, he can't grab the WR/TE. This is the distinction

Littlerich

1/10/17 9:57am

And the defender can initiate contact, but then it can no longer be offensive PI

jdub

1/10/17 10:21am

Clemson sold it well, but I still think it's offensive PI because the TE

Windward_Coug

1/10/17 10:27am

Agreed that it is a rule, but don't agree on the application.

They weren't screwed twice. They should have played better.

kalifi

1/10/17 8:25am

and the targeting non-calls from early in the game?

Tokolosh

Seriously!!

wilsdad

1/10/17 8:12am

Those were also ridiculous. The refs were terrible, but you can't allow

Windward_Coug

1/10/17 8:17am

You also cant miss 2 blatant targeting penalties that would lead to 2 ejected

califcougar

1/10/17 8:50am

AMEN. There were two plays with textbook examples of targeting and neither was

cucciolo25

1/10/17 8:15am

And the defensive PI's. Bama fans have nothing to complain about with the refs

AndyDwyer

1/10/17 8:18am

Exactly. 2 HUGE no calls

if their qb could complete more than 30% of his passes...

Mayor of Cougartown

1/10/17 8:13am

I don't think so. Here's a good explanation (someone else posted it last night)

AndyDwyer

1/10/17 8:16am

As part of their defensive strategy, Alabama DBs were making contact with the

RebelScum

1/10/17 8:31am

He makes a great point about the defense causing the contact first, which gives

I buy the explanation on the final play (I don't think it was illegal at all).

If those plays are what has you all riled up, then I don't know what to tell ya

Bama had their own issues. 2 obvious targeting penalties that would have put th

Nope. Just good football.

At some point today you need to catch him walking side by side with another

Follow-up - I go into his office and say, I know you probably don't want to talk

SJBLUE

Be careful when you mock a Bama fan after a loss!

Cougar Insider

1/10/17 8:39am

Yikes! The thing is that I was honestly not trying to mock him. I was shocked

SJBLUE

1/10/17 8:51am

But sounds like you have a history with this guy

PortlandBlue

1/10/17 8:46am

You would think, right? No negative history - always complementary conversations

"We didn't win the national championship either."
