re: Worst ref calls that went against your team

Some 5th down background/info:

1. Happened in 1990, Bob Stull was coach
2. Mizzou had just hammered Arizona State, & with the correct officiating against CU, would have been ranked.

To this day, I think had the calls gone correctly, Mizzou would have gone on to a winning season and Bob Stull would be considered a hero for turning things around. He had a seriously talented coaching staff. As it was, Stull ended up getting fired a couple of seasons later & Mizzou would go until 1997 to get that winning season.

3. CU: was coached by Mizzou alum Bill McCartney, who played under Dan Devine. Mizzou alum and former Northwestern & CU coach Gary Barnett was also on that staff.

4. Yes, there were five downs, but Johnson didn't even score on the 5th down. He was flat on his back at the 1/2 to 1 yard line when he stuck his arm over the goal line. Ruled a TD.

5. CU shared the national title that year.

Other: Mizzou Vs Bugeaters (NU) 1997:
1. Game was a great game, back & forth, tight throughout.

2. NU scored on the "flea kicker". Pass got tipped, bounced off of the NU receivers foot, who later admitted that he kicked the ball up into the air on purpose, and caught for the TD.

3. Should have been a flag for the kicking

4. Mizzou, with the loss, actually moved into the Top 25.
