SiouxScore Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Waaaaaaaaaaah! All of my Notre Dame fan friends are crying about the offensive pass interference call last night. They've apparently forgotten about the 2012 "Phantom Whistle" play against Stanford on what was ruled no TD for Stepfan Taylor (skip forward to 2:07 mark and go thru about 5:31)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6fNZK2WwFY Legs still churning...Taylor on top of other players but no knee or elbow down...no whistle and officials continue watching Taylor put the ball over the goal line...that one's a mystery. That was definitely offensive pass interference it was just a stupid play by the Notre Dame receiver because if he didn't do it the result of the play probably still would have been the same. Quote

Also, earlier in that same game, Stanford had a 3rd and 2 and the ball was handed off to Taylor on what appeared to be an offsides play. A phantom whistle from the crowd could be heard, Stanford's line stops and Taylor stops as he is handed the ball...before being tackled by an ND player. The ruling on the field? No whistle from the officials, 4th and 9 Stanford. I cannot find a video of that play but it is mentioned in several instances in various blogs...and not only from Stanford fan sites. Here are a couple of them:http://articles.southbendtribune.com/2012-10-13/sports/34436582_1_whistle-taylor-stanford-coach-david-shawhttp://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/notre-dame-home-games-fake-ref-whistles-and-pattern Weird. I haven't heard any Irish fans crying. It was interference. Plain and simple. Probably would have scored if they just got in the way rather than actually blocking the guys. You crying about one of the greatest goal line stands in history however.... That's crying. That was a play that could have went either way. Quote

That was a play that could have went either way. I'm talking about my personal Irish fan friends blowing up my phone after the game, Johnny. As far as Stanford, watch the play. At no point in time does any official blow the play dead. Taylor is still wiggling while Manti is sprinting off the field to celebrate at which point official "H" runs in to spot the ball. Taylor's on a pile of bodies and no part of his own body is touching the ground. The ball is clearly across the goal line but H spots it just short of the goal line. Then they go to replay about "excessive celebration"? HUH? Quote

Whether there was a whistle or not will not be known. That game has zero bearing on the game last night. Quote
Shawn-O Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 It was an obvious pick play I called it the minute the flag was down. What, he got five yards of separation inside the 10 by being awesome? Don't think so. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 They could have called two picks on that play. Two of the three receivers on that side were effectively blocking. They should've just called screen if that's what those guys were going to do. Quote

MafiaMan Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I about died. Given the school's antics and defense of pretty much any and every player they can, what exactly did Randy Moss do to get kicked out of school there? Quote

homer Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 "High-Character" "Heart" "Dignity" "Class" Jimbo Fisher describing Florida State football immediately after last night's game. That was about the third time I heard Jimbo say that in an interview the last few weeks. I thought coach, if you need to keep saying it, it's probably not true. That was funny. Quote
Shawn-O Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Looking forward to someone picking off FSU and wiping that dumb smirk off Winstons face. Quote

I thought coach, if you need to keep saying it, it's probably not true. That was funny. Kind of like when I keep telling the ladies how well endowed I'am. You can say it all you want doesn't make it true no matter how well you play on the field the lies are eventually exposed and there's a disappointed person/people. 1 Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Looking forward to someone picking off FSU and wiping that dumb smirk off Winstons face. Notre Dame. Title game. Quote
Shawn-O Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Notre Dame. Title game. Egg Bowl winner. Quote
bang Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Notre Dame. Title game. I would love to see a rematch. That was a great game. Norte Dame might need some help to get there though. Quote
cberkas Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Notre Dame. Title game. Notre Dame had to run the table to even be looked at being a top 4 team for the playoffs. Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Notre Dame had to run the table to even be looked at being a top 4 team for the playoffs. If Notre Dame went undefeated they'd be looking at the #1 seed. Quote
cberkas Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 If Notre Dame went undefeated they'd be looking at the #1 seed. Maybe, but right now Notre Dame has no quality wins. Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Maybe, but right now Notre Dame has no quality wins. If they finish 11-1 and the SEC teams keep beating each other up they have a shot Quote
cberkas Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Ndsu would dominate the fbs playiffs NDSU would get put in their place if they played the FBS teams that make the playoffs.If they finish 11-1 and the SEC teams keep beating each other up they have a shot Notre Dame should join the ACC, which would increase their chances of making the playoffs.

gfhockey Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Well I did have a glass of water in fargo this weekend so I am brainwashed Ndsu would smoke bama and fsu Heagle would run down Winston from behind and smoke him Quote

I thought coach, if you need to keep saying it, it's probably not true. That was funny. That's exactly the point I've made numerous times over the years about another school's fans that seem the need to remind themselves and anyone who will listen about their superiority. Quote

Notre Dame should join the ACC, which would increase their chances of making the playoffs. Why would Notre Dame do that? They will be playing 5 ACC teams every year...they play USC and Stanford every year. They also play Navy and Purdue. Quote
