The overturned Armando Allen TD was outright theft. *

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.


Don't forget the P.I. non-call on Golden Tate at the end.

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.


yeah, I remember that now. Terrible call

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


Cissoko, but I like your answer better. *

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.


2004 Pitt....ugh.

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


I was at that 2011 game.

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.
