Hilarious revisionism on Tiger Rag by the ND faithful.
It could have been so very different in the Fiesta Bowl.

Re: Jim Rome talks about Brady Quinn You can tell me that the game could have been alot worse than it was, but in the game that I was watching, it was a seven point game until less than two minutes in the game. In fact, just before Antonio Pittman broke his big TD run to put the game away, OSU was facing a third and long, deep in their own territory, before Smith does what he has done best (win games) by scrambling for a first down. I don't want to take anything away from OSU's win, but no one seems to remember that it was a one score game with two minutes to go.

It could have easily been an ND win, too...what if the call on the field stood and Zibby's TD return actually counted instead of the Gonzalez fumble being ruled incomplete? We can talk about all the mistakes and what could have been, but bottom line...seven point game with two minutes to go. And the last time I checked, Quinn doesn't play defense so its hard to blame him for ND letting up over six hundred yards of offense.

Double secret irony - if an LSU fan came on their board and put up the same smack about oh, ND vs Michigan, they would be swiftly bounced as unwelcome. On TigerRag they get put up for public pillory instead.

I favor the latter.

We controlled that entire game (Fiesta Bowl) the same way we controlled Illinois this year. Sure it was "close" at the end, and it had my heart pounding a little bit. But it was never really in doubt either. The game stats bear this out in both cases.

On a side note, the 3rd down play he's referring to -- Troy didn't scramble, he rolled out of the pocket (to the right) and found Gonzalez who made a great catch to get us the first down.
Strange that I remember that play so easily when the poster doesn't have the slightest clue what actually happened. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I actually watched the game?
