1st Half Bowl Thread

All tackles must be with the shoulder or forearms, between the bottom of the numbers and the belt. Or maybe we should go to two hand touch below the waist.

How is face mask not reviewable, especially if the focus is on player safety????? The ucla defender should be kicked out, not Gerry

What the **** would that prove? It was upheld in the booth. It was horrible, but no way to argue it beside getting a stupid penalty to put the other team in very favorable field position, and hurting your team. I knew some IDIOT would make this claim.

Bro...you are the idiot...but you knew that because you are going to respond

football aint football anymore

f this pansyass version of a game that used to be great.

stupid people making stupid calls

 

[Wing-Back]

Time to start taking guys knees out and blowing ACLs. Not a penalty to do that

This is exactly what I think too!

Sometimes the coach has to "lose it"...it can help

Even the ref behind Riley can't believe it.

Exactly. Riley was pretty clearly exasperated by the call, but what would going off on the ref and getting a penalty, likely putting them in great position for launching a few into the end zone help. He handled it well, nothing to do but shake your head and move on.

I hope at halftime he tells the others how F%$&×D up that was/is.

Here is the thing...a guy like Riley who never really freaks out...can freak out right there and probably get about 2-3 calls later on.

Only partially agree. You can make a FIRM point without drawing a penalty. At some point the coach needs to take a stand and let the refs know you are not going to keep taking this crap. It can be done without going off like Pelini

 

[Harry Caray]

Nobody's asking him to "go Pelini" on the refs, but for God's sake show a little bit of passion instead of just standing there smiling and laughing. You have to fight for your players sometimes if you're going to win them over.

I noticed that too.

I got a text from a friend at the game and said that Riley did get on the ref pretty hard after that. Thing is, we just don't see it anymore because there isn't a camera dedicated to tell coach on the sideline.

I don't know, he just lost his safety against a pass happy team. I think it might be time to throw a bit of a fit.

We are wearing them down

 

[bigboxes]

Great catch/throw by Morgan/Armstrong!

 

[Rocky Mtn Husker]

Why pass in that situation? Run the freakin' ball and if they stop you then kick the FG...

 

[huskerfan1414]

We are tryin to blow it

 

[huskerfan1414]

Great win huskers and Riley!
