GAME THREAD: Virginia Tech at (7) Miami, Fri. at 7:30pm on ESPN

And on the road. Of course, when your coach is Valium personified it's not like home crowd helps

 

Pondering thiught I had this morning… is Mario, Gene Chizik with Cam Newton? Potential big run with a star QB then da u returns back to earth when he leaves next year? Portal makes it different now than back then but Cam Ward also won’t in the portal every year.

 

It's the little league mentality. It's ok to lose, everyone gets a chance, participation trophies for all..

Why not when you're guaranteed a life changing amount of money regardless of your success.

 

What it looks like to me is the ball bouncing around and the Miami player had his back out of bounds when he touched the ball. So pass would be incomplete.

 

Crooked refs get away with another one. And the beat goes on

 

"Indisputable" video evidence to overturn the call...that means you cant say it looks "like". You overturn if it "definitely" was not in possession which I dont think anyone can claim. At best it is 50/50 on possession to me but overturning it requires 100% sure...not 99% sure and I dont think there is any freaking way someone gets to 100% on this call let alone 80%. This is just another in a very long list of ACC officiating "modifications" designed to keep their crappy conference in the game for some extra revenue. Va Tech may as well sue the ACC to get out right now....The only thing I saw that was a 100% sure thing was the fact the officials were going to screw Tech any way they could to engineer a win for Miami.

 

Literally fsu season last year. Easy schedule. Qb winning them games.

I agree it's a little league mentality but I don't agree with the second part. The guy absolutely wants to be successful but his methods aren't working and he is in way over his head. He's in his 40s and wants to coach football. Nobody young and motivated is indifferent about failing this badly.

 

I could see the ball moving after the player was on the ground. Not sure how that replay could overturn the call on the field either way.

 

I’m more pissed about the VT TD that was called back for no reason. Smh

 

I didn't watch so I missed it. Just saw the last play and review but I'm not surprised

 

Yea, phantom holding call.

 

That’s what it looked like to me. No evidence the receiver ever had full control of the ball. The ACC refs suck but they’ve had much worse calls than this one.

 

If the ACC refs were crooked and had the fix in for Miami, why did they initially call it a TD for Va Tech? Ball was moving and never fully controlled by the receiver.

 

The media all want UM to be "back" soooo bad. So do the PTB, who probably view UM and their unaffiliated fanbase as the key to the new NFL-lite paradigm.

 

Guy made the call in the heat of the moment, but the phone calls from league HQ started flowing in during the replay process.

 

So the ACC office waits until the very last play of the game to throw it Miami’s way? Seems like a lot to leave to chance, but sure, why not. lol

 

I guess the ACC office also made the call to the Virginia Tech coaches and told them to go for a fake field goal when they were up 10, which ended up costing them at the end. Lol

 

It was a catch and the guy who knocked the ball out after the catch was out of bounds. How do you overturn the call on the field on that one? Better yet, why?

 

It was close, but in the review, you can clearly see the ball was moving and never fully secured by the receiver. I’m not trying to convince you, but this conspiracy nonsense is just over the top.

 

How is it a catch when he never had full control of the ball
