That's your favorite thing about this thread? Not the discussion about the incredible Golson to Eifert pass, TJ's sick catch, the defense dominating once again, the most epic Irish goal-line stand since God knows when, hundreds of Irish fans on here going apeshIt after the win....and your favorite thing about this thread is that it will be buried in a week????

Not feeling you on this one...

I think it is more like the anxiety is finally over.

My perspective:

I keep seeing Stanford coming up on the schedule - Manti has never beat them - Gameday will be there - I will be at the game watching it - if ND wins this they have a phenomenal chance to get to a BCS - just win.

Phew!!! Great we won. Still undefeated. Anxiety is gone. This game and thread has caused a lot of stress as a fan move on to BYU and keep it going.

Still no excuse for putting the ball on the ground.

Great teams don't have excuses. So yeah, it was wet, but hold on to the ball.


How many fumbles did Stanford have? Zero.

That wasn't what I was saying. The weather was ugly, that is all.

3rd down and 8 in OT--- That catch by Riddick was a great adjustment on that back shoulder throw.

Replay is NBC sports now.

@1:50 - After throwing the game-winning TD pass (a play which he audibled into) in OT against Stanford, Rees simply unfastens his chin strap and walks off-field. No celebration. He's not the quarterback ND wants, but he's the one we've needed many times this season. Much respect.

@3:45 - Manti, "LOU, Lou... they couldn't block you. You're the best Noseguard in the whole country!"

Indeed. What a leader.

One of the greatest moments in my life. Seats were in the end zone of the goal line stop. Hulk Hogen'd the **** outta my poncho when we stopped them.

Great day, Go Irish! Beat BYU!

Im so pissed that people are complaining about the call. He was down by forward progress you dumbasses. Half the D was celebrating by the time he squirmed in.

Not to belabor the point, but I'm surprised that no one in the media is talking about the fact that it also looked (at least to me) that his elbow was possibly down before he extends his arms. You can see that both in the side view as well as in the end zone view.

Like I said, let them talk all they want. In a week or two this thread or that talk won't see any activity

I've been saying this right along. His elbow was down, no 2 ways about it. F Stanford, F the Haters. Go Irish.

In all honesty, my Miami buddy called us classless for rushing the field after beating a team ranked lower than us at home......

I did not know how to respond. I thought about that Stanford had physically dominated us the last three years, the slugfest of this game, the weather, NDs new physicality which we all have been waiting on for years, being down at halftime to fight back and stop them with brute force on the 1 in OT (twice)..... maybe it was worthy of that.

The other part of me wanted to just say "41-3 bitch" and "our 4th string RB ran it 12 straight times all up in ya.":meditate:

This is pretty great. I don't know how anyone can look at this and think Stanford got jobbed. Play was CLEARLY blown dead before he got into the endzone and defensive players had already stopped playing per the whistle... if not, Manti stuffs him some more. Elbow being down is irrelevant.

I have watched the series of replays on NBC's site from the full game replay probably a hundred times.

As it relates to the image you linked. The person made a lot of effort to try to prove that he was down. The one thing that I disagree with is his statement that the side judge is moving in with his left arm raised and presumably blowing the whistle. However, the very first NBC replay at the 3:31:45 mark showed the side view where you can see the side judge in question who is running in from the side but he's holding his whistle in his left hand and he doesn't put the whistle up to his mouth until right at the moment that the Stanford player reached the ball across the line. From looking at all the other replay's, I don't see any of the refs blowing the whistle except the side judge in question. I can only assume that he blew the whistle when he thought the Stanford players elbow was down, or he thought forward progress had stopped just before he got to the line. Therefore I do not believe any of our players stopped because they heard a whistle. People have had to review this video hundreds of times and still can't say definitely what the correct call was. No way it meets the definition of indisputable. IMO whatever the call was on the field, was what the replay official was going to have to stick with.

If you want to see the first replay on the NBC video, click on this link

and then click on the image of Manti pointing, the full game replay will start and go to the 3:31:45 mark. It appears the whistle is being put up to his mouth just as Manti is jumping off the pile which happens to be about the time that the Stanford player is reaching the ball across the line. Bottom line is we won and that's all I care about.

Video link not working for me. That clearly changes things if the whistle is not being blown.

EDIT: Got it to work. You're right. Whistle isn't being blown by the side judge until right before he reaches the ball out. Looking at it from different angles, the whistle is blown by that side judge right as Stephon Tuitt lifts his arm in celebration... which is just barely before he fully extends the ball. It's about a full second difference from the image I linked. In that case, Russel/Te'o really needed to keep playing instead of celebrating early.

It opens up a pop up video player. I suppose there is a chance that pop up blockers could be stopping it. I suppose you could find the same shot on youtube. I haven't bothered to check.

Miami ... classless

That's redundant.

I got no problem with Teo, he was trying but he was sliding off the edge of the pile, even if he didn't celebrate, he couldn't have stopped Taylor from reaching the ball across. Russel however was doing nothing but cheerleading. He should've got in their and grabbed a leg or something.

guys.... It's not going to change. We won, it was a disputed call, we got the call on the field, and there wasn't enough evidence to overturn.

You guys keep watching the same time period with the same shots from the same position and attempting to see something different.
