Was anyone else a little suprised as to how "matter-of-factly" they called the BC touchdown a completion? I felt Word-Daniels went up, actually got to the ball first, and came down with more control of the ball?.. My first reaction was that he intercepted it, but they called a touchdown and no-one seemed to argue, so obviously I am missing something...
 
I thought the BC player did a great job of acting. It looked to me he had one hand on the ball and the other arm behind our guy.

But any tie goes to the offense.
 
At first it looked like our guy had control, but I know that any tie goes to an offense, so it was tough to tell. Fortunately, Raycom's wonderful coverage gave us exactly one replay from behind, so we all get to continue to live without really knowing. Thanks Raycom!
 
I thought it should have been ruled an interception. Our guy had significantly more control of the ball, therefore, it wasn't a tie. It at least should have been reviewed. I saw an NFL game where almost the EXACT same thing happened and it was ruled an interception. I thought the refs tried to scew us Saturday a few times (probably not intentional, but still). The PI against Cooper Taylor was complete BS and could have reallllly cost us the game. Then, there should have been PI called against BC on the long pass to Bebe. When you can overcome adversity to win a game like that, it really does wonders to make a team so much stronger.

Agreed...
 
I was sitting in the endzone where that "catch" and the PI call before that was. On the PI call, the ball sailed way over the WR and the DB. There was no way, at least from my vantage point, anybody could have caught the ball. The back judge got trigger happy and ACC refs typically don't overturn calls of a lesser official even when they know they're wrong.

As for the catch, I'm not sure. I thought we had a couple of interceptions like that last year and the rules automatically gave the ball to the defense in the case of a jump ball. Does anybody know the actual verbatim rule?
 
You really need to show the ball on your own before the offensive player gets his hands in if you want to get the call as a DB. Either that or take it away before you hit the ground. Tie does go to the offensive player in most cases although I don't know what the rule says.
 
I don't know the exact verbiage but the rule basically states that if two players go up for a ball and both come down with what would be deemed a reception for either.... its a tie and tie's go to the offense.

all rules give offense the advantage.

it sucks when your defensive player makes a good play like that but to me it seemed like the refs made the right call.
 
I was also in the end zone and the PI call against Cooper was total b.s. The TD call should have been given to JWD as an INT, but at least that one, the receiver made a heck of a recovery to get his hands on the ball. So at least it was in doubt, but JWD had position and had it first. Both were awful calls.

I was screaming, no other Tech fans said a word. The BC fans, who were numerous just looked at me like I was crazy. The BC fans next to me, whispered that the calls were not very good.

I don't know why, but I started laughing when I read that. I think it's because I pictured midatlantech standing up shouting and swearing, then a little old BC grandmother in front of him whispering to her husband, "I don't think that was a very good call."
 
I agree with you. The rule is that dual possession goes to the offensive receiver. The problem I have with it is it did not look like dual possession. It looked like Jahi had the ball first and came down in the endzone with both hands on the ball, while the offense had one hand on it when they actually came down in the endzone.

I thought it in the very least should have been reviewed. It pissed me off the Raycom people wouldn't even review it. Bad production.

Is that the only thing that pissed you off about their production?

To say the freaking least. Raycom's broadcast blew goats. Their announcers were awful; the play-by-play guy called Roddy Jones "Roddy Smith" like 516 times, and the color guy was a certified retard, meat-head.

I miss Musberger.
 
Raycom's production values have always been bad.

Though at least the Daves on the SEC side are amusingly bad.
 
I agree it is bad; however, it is better to be able to watch it than not be able to see what is going on and trying to follow it online
 
I heard the best solution here. For the next game, I am going to set my DVR to start playing the game about 5-6 second delay on mute with Wes on on the radio. That way I can watch the game at the same time as hearing Wes, rather than both teams lining up for the next play while Wes is still describing the last play. I think that will work the best.
 
We were in the other endzone, I immediately thought that the PI call was a bad one because the ball looked MUCH too high for a catch. :ugh:

I couldn't tell on the potential interception.

I did that for ACC select once.

that works? i thought the radio would come through b4 a high-def feed.

high def is usually is a couple seconds behind reg. broadcasts and i thought regular broadcasts were a few seconds behind the radio....i might just have to give that a shot. who am i kidding? i'd rather listen to the boobs and watch commercial free.
