That this thread won’t go political in the first 5 posts.
flex seal sucks I did buy some and all I did was deface my building and I inhaled some of that and now I will probably die of cancer. And I still have an exterior old window thing that isn’t completely sealed.
That M1 is a valid ranking system.
That Iowa can compete in the new B1G without substantially upping their Swarm participation and donations.

hey we did it! myth busted.
Many posters believe that the officials made the wrong call on the DeJean punt return. That is not true. The Big Ten confirmed that the correct call was made.
Cade McNamara was any more than an average game manager at Michigan.
You really are an asshole.
I was watching the 2001 fiesta bowl between Oregon State and Notre Dame, and OSU did the same thing and had an invalid fair catch called against them. It was called back AND had a 5 yard penalty tacked on.
Now I'm a little less vocal about it not being a fair catch.
That FSU is worthy of joining the Big Ten
That's not a myth... that's the truth. Stick to myths please.

What's hilarious is that same big 10 included that play in Cooper Dejean's highlight video after he got drafted.
I don't think I've ever seen a play that got legitimately wiped off the board included in a player's highlight video by the conference. Not the school, not fans, the conference.
I saw a TV commercial this morning that said, “The more you buy the more you save”.
Who believes that s**t?

I find the way the call was made to be far more infuriating than the actual call itself. If the officials on the field had waved it off immediately because they felt that DeJean's motions affected the play then, while I may not have agreed with it, I would have been able to accept it as bad judgement by the official. But it is undeniable that his arms were in fact moving. If Minnesota players had reacted to it then I probably would have agreed with the officials. But that's not what happened. The replay official stuck his nose into the play to call something that the replay wasn't even looking for. Something like that needs to be a call made by the official on the field, not the replay official.
No. They reviewed the fumble. Never reviewed any penalty.
An argument could be made today for targeting, though.
I'd like someone to disprove that there was an actual Earl of Sandwich. That sounds like a story you tell a 5 year old who asks you why they call it a sandwich, just to shut him up.
I only know how to rank left to right. Anything other than that is unnecessary.
This is not Boing's new 797 confirguring for a landing on recent test flight -
That irregardless is a proper word.
Neither person showed up at that restaurant
FIFY
That said, officiating as a whole is not that bad, it's just that with today's technology every potential mistake or mis-step is analyzed and re-analyzed so that officiating on a whole seems worse than it ever was before.
Nearly every fan of every sports league all thinks that officiating in their league is the worst and it's worse than it ever was before. It seems highly unlikely that they are all correct.
Now granted individual officials can be bad, make terrible mistakes, and screw things up which help cost teams games that is as true now as it was in the past. But on the whole. I'm not buying it. Fans of every sports league all seem to think their officiating is the worst.
This. Had it been called on the field I could accept it. By doing so via replay, and then in a media follow up the next week conceding that 2 different camera angles showed two different things and still defending the call, THATS what makes me angry.
That and knowing we couldn’t gain 20 yards for a FG attempt.
I like to think of it this way: calling the punt return back and having Brian's lame offense not bailed out again by random lightning strikes may have been what Beth needed to terminate Brian. So, it was a fair trade, in my book.
Also, there wasn't a single person in the stadium who even had that call on their radar, on either side. Everyone was thinking that he possibly stepped out of bounds, but as long as he stayed in bounds it was a touchdown.
A similar call was the incomplete pass in the B1G championship that was ruled a fumble. No one on the field was thinking it was a fumble, including the Michigan player who happened to "recover" it and nonchalantly hand it to the nearest official. But that had no impact on the outcome, so no one is really upset about it.
FSU is ranked higher than Iowa.
When I got into Iowa my mom kept telling people "Iowa is the harvard of the west" and I had to finally say "mom, I don't think that's true."
Iowa is a great value. I have a couple of different degrees from it which have served me very well in life. But yeah, it isn't the Harvard of anything. Not even the state of Iowa, relative to other schools in the state.

I really wasn't that upset about the call due to this reason. I would've rather taken the loss than having Kirk and Brian boast about the win that had nothing to do with our craptastic offense but was bailed out again by the incredible special teams play
Jimmy Fallon is funny.
