Hopefully it will appear somewhere today. I wasn't there, and from what I saw on the TV, I wouldn't have overturned the call.
In any case, bad calls are a part of sports. We have been victimized MANY times by bad calls that cost us games. It sucks, but what can you do? You can't control the refs. For so many years we have sucked in football and been ridiculed by so many others, but stayed dedicated to our team. I am pretty happy to be 4-0. Time to focus on USF. Go Tigers!
Agreed, and that was the only point I was making from someone with no care who won or lost this game.
Memphis fan is going to think one way and Cincy another I was just trying to provide an unbiased opinion.
That is why refs decide...the outcome of the games.
FIFY
Cincy had a chance to tie it. Don't forget the gifts we handed them as well that led to 14 points for them penalty wise. Then another 7 off the fumble Craft had.
We stopped them twice on 3rd downs and had penalties against us. Defensive Holding and The hit on Moore, which was more like a 2 handed touch fall down that resulted in them getting a fresh set of downs.
We got robbed on a fumble call that was MUCH MORE CLEAR. Dude was dropping the ball while he was still up trying to keep running. All we had to do was pick it up off the ground lol. We literally just reached in with 1 hand and held the ball up.
You are clearly backing Cincy in a game that was equally bad for both teams. Both teams made mistakes, both teams had bad calls go against them, both teams missed out on a fumble. It's cool if you want to support them, but if anyone thinks they got screwed over, watch the game again. We got it just as bad as they did.
Its not our fault that we sent 3 and 1 got to Moore and instead of him taking the sack and calling a timeout, or throwing it away he did a little shoulder toss throw backwards that resulted in an interception.
The refs didn't do that either.
So let's just take all the BS away.
So Memphis gets the fumble recovery on the fumble and scores earlier in the game. We're up 7 based off of everything that happened when we had our fumble overturned. Then say Cincy gets the fumble recovery and it leads to a tie. There would be probably 2ish minutes left for us to either score a TD or kick the FG.
Who knows what would happen, but I like those odds for us too.
As bad as it was, it completely balanced out.
Look at the penalties, look the 2 the fumbles in question. The only other turnovers we had were 3 interceptions. Unquestionable and can't deny those.
2 against Moore. The 1 at the end, bad play on him. Then the 1 where Ball trapped the ball against his helmet which resulted in the #1 play in the SC top 10.
Then Kiel threw the Pick 6.
Everything balanced out, but yet everyone is complaining that 1 team got jobbed. Completely untrue.
