even though Texas is up 21, this guy will be hated by many people

12/27/2007 9:13:29 PM

awesome thread

12/27/2007 9:14:50 PM

for those of you WITH the luxurious espnU

a backwards lateral by the ASU QB was touched by a Texas coach before Texas snatched the ball and returned it however many yards

it was ruled an unsportsmanlike conduct foul and ASU got the ball back for 4th down since it was a dead ball foul


and just scored a TD

yes the ball was still in fair play, the coach was just like "DOOPTIE DOO ILL GRAB IT GUYZ...O WAIT!"

i say that, because if you have espnU, you might be watching the state game instead of this game

12/27/2007 9:18:48 PM

so wouldnt they not need the update? since they are watching it already instead of the State game?

12/27/2007 9:19:25 PM

ok i mean WITH the luxurious espnU

and they are replaying the play now, and the guy is being slammed by the espn crew and they keep talking about him and are calling him Chris

12/27/2007 9:20:27 PM

it didnt look like he touched it on the one replay I saw

12/27/2007 9:21:02 PM

wow, they aren't gonna let this go...erin andrew sideline investigator

12/27/2007 9:21:11 PM

you all are making a big deal out of this, football players do this all the time, they are competitive, I dont see the big deal, Champ Bailey is a bitch, etc.

12/27/2007 9:22:18 PM

his name is "chris" dude looks depressed as shit!

12/27/2007 9:22:19 PM

im laughing at the likelihood that ESPN has named this guy Chris and 1000s of people are probably stalking the texas coaching staff webpage right now

12/27/2007 9:23:48 PM

^^^ THIS WASN'T YOUR NORMAL RUN OF THE MILL BLUNDER...DO YOU THINK A MANAGER FOR USC OR FLORIDA WOULD DO THAT? IT IS DIFFERENT

[Edited on December 27, 2007 at 9:24 PM. Reason : ]

12/27/2007 9:24:43 PM

it is a big deal because it was pretty much a 14-pt turnaround

12/27/2007 9:25:45 PM

this is nothing, the media wont even talk about it, happens all the time, manning sucks, brady rules, etc.

12/27/2007 9:25:58 PM

it will be a topic on both ATH and PTI tomorrow, probably the first one they talk about

12/27/2007 9:26:35 PM

YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT...THE MANAGER DOES NOT USUALLY PICK UP THOSE KIND OF BALLS, ONLY DEAD BALLS...THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT

12/27/2007 9:26:58 PM

ahah

mack brown's stepson


does espn want this guy to be assassinated or something

12/27/2007 9:28:11 PM

na, happens all the time, if you played football you would know, hes done that for years, he did that against maryland back in the day, etc.

12/27/2007 9:28:12 PM

yea but those were all dead balls...this ball MUST have said something to him before the game...didn't you see all the other guys that wanted to pick it up as well...there something that we don't know

12/27/2007 9:30:53 PM

naaa, Manning hasn't won multiple superbowls, Tennessee sucks, this isnt news at all, this is an NC State board, State plays in a vacuum, no other teams exist

12/27/2007 9:32:22 PM

i am so confused at this thread and i made it

12/27/2007 9:33:26 PM

lol

12/27/2007 9:33:41 PM

anything that makes dude touching the ball look bad will be denied by me, it never happened, I refuse to acknowledge it existence

12/27/2007 9:34:28 PM

that ball was used at a state game this season...trust me...that ball is a talker

12/27/2007 9:36:28 PM

Mack Brown looks like a transvestite tonight... fucking lipstick?

12/27/2007 10:06:06 PM

i thought this thread was about that guy who ruined it for the Cubs.

12/27/2007 10:07:21 PM

not far off

12/27/2007 10:14:18 PM

ahahaha just saw the clip.. Mack Brown went nuts.. hahaha

can you assess penalties after a video review? I didn't think you could, otherwise, you could call PI on certain plays. I'd figured the best they could do is replay the down.

12/28/2007 9:09:22 AM

yet another thread ruined by Jaybee1200

12/28/2007 9:59:14 AM

^ who the fuck is this dumbshit?

12/28/2007 10:13:26 AM

wow, is jayb going to turn sports talk into his own vagina monologue now or what

[Edited on December 28, 2007 at 11:19 AM. Reason : uh]

12/28/2007 11:19:10 AM

the fact that that moron was even on the field and near the ball was fucking pathetic

if i was dennis ericson i'd tell one of my linebackers to accidentally knock his fucking head off...piss poor bullshit, regardless of the outcome...no fucking excuse for that douchebag to be 3 yards on the field in the first place, no fucking excuse

i don't think it matters if he touched it or not...he shouldn't have even been close enough to where it would be an issue

12/28/2007 11:22:47 AM

well he thought it was a forward pass and was pushing for it to be called intentional grounding. Was probably picking it up to make the ref more likely to hear what he was saying.

But he wasn't the only one on the field. Looking at about 1:52 into the espn clip it looks like there are atleast 6 people completely on the field.

[Edited on December 28, 2007 at 12:40 PM. Reason : ]

12/28/2007 12:38:39 PM

yeah but NONE OF THEM should've been on the field, and if they were slightly overflowing on the sidelines, as soon as they saw the ball coming towards them, they should back up, NOT REACH FOR THE LIVE BALL!!!

there is absolutely zero, i repeat ZERO reason for that guy to make an effort to even consider EVER touching a live ball in play, EVER

and to top it all off the jackass is laughing and smiling about it on the sideline...pathetic



keeping in mind that this is a LIVE ball and the person/people on the field pictured are NOT PLAYERS OR REFEREES, this is just inexcusable and all fucked up...i mean look how far away from the sideline the ball is...its not like he's standing out of bounds and reaching...both of his feet are in bounds...i bet in college or pro basketball whoever touched the ball would be ejected from the game

and i'm not a Texas fan or Arizona State fan and I didn't bet on this game...but when I saw it last night I couldn't believe it

12/28/2007 12:52:01 PM

I like the coach that shoves him away from the ball
