2005 Alamo Bowl: Nebraska 32, Michigan 28 (final)

Wow, does this suck on SO many levels. Let's review:

-LLLLLLLLLLLoyd embarasses the Big Ten...again.

-My bowl picks with CIs are now screwed. I knew Michigan would screw me...either I would not pick them and they'd win, or vice versa.

-That was the worst-officiated game at any level (including pee-wee and HS) I've ever witnessed. Ever.

-Because of that, I would say that the Big Ten would be scrambling to hire thse guys right now, except that all the calls went against Michigan, so they won't.

-Every time Michigan gets the benefit of every call in Big Ten play (which is basically every game) they will point to this game and say "See, we don't always get all the calls" much like Dick Vitale does the same thing with one single call that went against Duke...at North Carolina 5 or 6 years ago.

-This entire game, between 2 teams that I hate but played hard, became a total farce. Keystone Cops meet the 3 Stooges. Those braindead hick officials better never work another game that I have any interest in again (and, since they are in the Sun Belt, they won't).

My only ? is why the fuck have officials from the Sun-belt conference ref this game. It makes no sense at all, they arent used to the speed of the game, this game was pittiful anyway you look at it. The teams sucked, the refs sucked, the coaches sucked. The only thing good about it was the announcers and of course one was from tOSU.:biggrin:

I would have loved to see Ecker pitch it to Breaston and get a temporary TD. Offsetting penalties for players on the field would've been the absolute icing on the cake! Plus, it would've been the correct call. Take the potential TD away and make LLLLoyd try again.
