re: What is the worst call ever that went against your team?

Sabear ..... on the link you posted two questions for you:

1. What was the reason the official ruled the pass incomplete?

2. What happened on the next play?

1973 Cotton bowl Alabama leading Texas 13-10 with 7.32 left in 4th quarter, Texas has ball 3rd and 2 , Texas Qb keeps on a Qb boot where he clearly stepped out of bounds by a good foot and was awarded TD by all SWC officials.
Back in those days Cotton Bowl + Texas + SWC officials = Loss.
Although I also heard Bama got screwed in the Orange Bowl against Texas with SWC officials when Namath scored on a QB sneak but was ruled short of the goaline even though Namath was laying in the endzone on top of his center.
To young for the Orange bowl to say for certain but in1973 I was 12 and watched the Cotton bowl and witnessed this.
Texas may have scored anyway but I recall the photo in the Atlanta journal showing his foot a foot or more beyond the boundary and an official standing there watching.

That was a terriblw call, but come on man a life and death struggle with Vandy?

Why? Because it wasn't near the end of the game? Do the other 58 minutes not matter? Who knows how the game would have unfolded had Peterson been granted the interception?

Surely you think the personal foul this year cost you the Bama game

Perhaps but that was 100% on our dumbshit player. He deserved the personal flag penalty. Peterson made a great play and was robbed, pure and simple.

Now, I think it often cuts both ways but in the age of replay those kinds of stupifyingly dumb calls should be rarer and rarer.

Upon further reflection, I will concede our offense sucked donkey dick if you will concede that Peterson getting robbed of the INT took away our last, best hope of winning that game.

Jarrett Lee managed to move LSU's offense an entire 9 yards on 3 drives in the 4th quarter.

I'm going to buy a lot more Scotch if Michigan doesn't hire Miles soon.

Not only did we stop Colorado at the end of the game after 4th down, but the clock then should have run out and even worse, we stopped them on 5th down but called a TD. To make it worse, by winning, Colorado was able to go on to claim part of the national championship.

That really is the worst call I can recall in my lifetime.

I was standing at the edge of the stands almost even with the goal line in the North endzone ready to rush the field. My cousin was yelling in my ear, "That was 5 downs." And then we all just went limp. Air was sucked out of the stadium as that ref put his hands up in the air signaling TD when it clearly wasn't.

One Mizzou.

Yep, it was. JJ 's hands were under the ball all the way. Great catch.

Actually it was a no-call, which usually ends in the same result: a loss. 2008 NCAA championship poised to knock off the #2 seeded UCLA bruins, in LA for a sweet 16 berth... then this happens: LINK

The 2001 game vs. BYU. Played on the first Saturday in December because of 9-11. BYU was undefeated and 10-0, while MSU was 3-7. We had three long TD's called back, and they held like crazy and it was never called. Jackie called the refs out on the big screen after the game and got fined. We had around 16 penalties. Ended up losing 41-38, and there was no doubt those MWC officials were told to make sure the Mormons stayed undefeated. That's the only time I really think refs called against a MSU team on purpose.
