Rice's Dickey Moegle began a run around from the 10 yard line and down the open field. Alabama's Tommy Lewis jumped off the bench and tackled Maegle. The referee Cliff Shaw saw what happened and signaled touchdown even though Maegle was "tackled" at the 42 yard line."<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_Bowl_(game)Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02845920234147320337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-29179184087419391102007-12-28T21:22:00.000-05:002007-12-28T21:22:00.000-05:00There's some good stuff on this at <A HREF="http://www.chrisjesse.net" REL="nofollow">ChrisJesse.net</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-63172751997786945142007-12-28T16:33:00.000-05:002007-12-28T16:33:00.000-05:00Hes a man!

Here let me just go pick up this LIVE ball while its on the field... what a moron. Are you serious right now, you little red headed stepson???? You are that idiotic? I hate people like this, fire him from his lame, made up job (with its nice title and paycheck because of Mack, so he doesn't have to get a job), and get him off the sidelines. What are you 30??? Get a frickin JOB.

It was about 10 years ago, when Welsh was still coach, so maybe it wasn't Jones afterall. Maybe it was a d-back...Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17187969959701732817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-30748113088944014502007-12-28T01:04:00.000-05:002007-12-28T01:04:00.000-05:00Hey Bruce, that's a really old clip of Antonio Freeman when he played at VT.

S27 is "unsportsmanlike conduct" signal")<BR/><BR/>As such, I was confused why they were reviewing it in the first place.

Am I making this up? I can't remember if he was a coach or a player, but I remember something like that happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-24149018184557180002007-12-28T00:31:00.001-05:002007-12-28T00:31:00.001-05:00The ball's rotation didn't change AT ALL. Ridiculous call, he didn't touch it.<BR/><BR/>However, there were about 15 Texas coaches and reserves on the field during the play. They should be penalized for that, not for Chris not touching the ball.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-3482585081154174222007-12-28T00:31:00.000-05:002007-12-28T00:31:00.000-05:00Talk about timing; just as I was reading your headline, I flipped to the WWL just as they were showing that play. I saw something similar a few years back in one of the UVA-VA Tech games, where the asst trainer for UVA stuck out his foot and tripped Kevin Jones, I think it was, as he ran down the sideline. He was fired the next day.Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17187969959701732817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-7154098855033629652007-12-28T00:24:00.000-05:002007-12-28T00:24:00.000-05:00I think the refs saw something that they should have previously controlled and decided that he touched it.<BR/><BR/>I still don't see how you overturn that.Awful Announcing-http://www.blogger.com/profile/02512793293145554219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-59461309185258014222007-12-28T00:17:00.000-05:002007-12-28T00:17:00.000-05:00Didn't look like he touched the ball at all.

It didn't look like he did to me. There was no change in direction or spin of the ball when it went by his hand.hyzdufanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711636451321828146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-55654244379130295532007-12-27T23:24:00.000-05:002007-12-27T23:24:00.000-05:00Get ESPN to admit they were wrong?
