was after the Duke-ND NCAAT basketball game about 16-17 years ago. I think it might have actually been worse in the ND-Michigan game, but I didn't care as much since Weis was on his way out... but it was still enough to really, really piss me off. I remember the officials just jogging off the field before the game was even completely over, those corrupt pieces of shit.

ridiculous. Young was going 315lbs and the DE he crushed was maybe 240lbs. Negated a huge pass play to Rudolph.

That game was a nightmare. The 2011 game was the stupidest game of football I've ever watched. And I'd say that if we would have won it. It was an embarrassment to the game of football and both teams should be ashamed.

Yes, we probably could have just run the ball on that drive and eaten up enough clock to seal the win, and Weis couldn't help himself but to get cute.

That said, the Go route that was called for Tate had him alone in man coverage, and the defender outright tackled him. Had the obvious flag been thrown, the game would have been over with the fresh set of downs.

and the guy covering him was the guy from the thong song, I believe. Cisco, or something like that.

Cissoko forearm shot to Floyd's head when he's on the ground. No call. Dumb shit Matt Millen quips, "it's getting chippy out there."

Flagging Wood for a taunting penalty after scoring what would have been go ahead TD. Wood's transgression was pointing at the student section and holding his finger in front of his mouth to shush the crowd.

Back judge bear-hugging Forcier after his go ahead TD so he wouldn't get called for a excessive celebration penalty.

0:02 left on the clock at midfield at the end of the game, Tate is down and the clock should've stopped -- this would've given Clausen one more chance to heave it to Tate, Floyd, and/or Rudolph. Instead, refs let clock run out and they take off into the tunnel (Weis just stood there on the field, waiting for the officials to come back out and put the 0:02 back on the clock so ND could run one more play -- nothing).

And as already mentioned, Young's "hold" on Roh (it was a nasty pancake block), Tate's no call PI on 3rd down to ice the game, and Allen's overturned TD -- all terrible.

2009 Michigan and 2004 Pitt are the only two games I've ever watched where I blame the officials for an ND loss. And 2009 Michigan was the worst. It wasn't just one or two bad calls or missed calls. It was systematic.

I had forgotten that one. Yeah, that was criminal.

I remember remarking to my friend that it looked like Cincinnati and San Diego State wearing something kind of similar to ND and Michigan uniforms.

on the defensive side of the ball that I've ever seen. Weis' playcalling towards the end also was questionable, as he left them time and timeouts due to calling excess pass plays that went incomplete.

Just all in all a frustrating game in a season full of them. Weis' teams were Faust-like in that respect.

wasn't any better. It gave them terrific field position on the kick off.

And don't forget the 1986 out of bounds of Williams (which was at ND).

Both of those calls changed a probably changed an ND victory into a loss.

That one was absurd, yes, but Anthony Thomas' knee also hit the ground on his "touchdown" run that gave them the final lead.

Although the Brown flag was just an awful awful call.

The others, without review, were sort of par for the course. The Brown flag was just a blatant FU to ND.


Bob Davie was just really really bad at these types of games and crunch time end of game situations.
