Now you are blaming the refs for cheating Notre Dame?

Go be stupid somewhere else.

Now? Everyone who watched the ending of that game has been.

SEC refs with the DEI win for the SEC's lovable loser!

Dude. Just because a thought hits your underdeveloped frontal lobe doesn't mean you need to make a post.

You can't be a tu grad.

To be fair, A&M basically got away with murder with that no call. Refs bailed them out big time.

The fact that y'all truly believe this is so on point for your fan base.

Newsflash … many people don’t want to go to school in Austin.

It’s humorous to see the teasippers complaining about the refs in the mean ‘ole Aggies game. They’re not above that petty jealousy. You know… with A&M not being their real rival and all.

Nobody has gotten more mileage than ND out of beating a backup QB in his 1st career start


Wouldn't the same logic apply to ND then who lost the Miami game by 3 w a QB in his 1st career start and by 1 to the 3rd team in the country by 1 point on the last play of the game in his 2nd?? Not defending Nd;s ranking, and Im not sold on them yet, but how do you defend UGA's loss last year due to an inexperienced QB w/out defending ND's loss to Miami, with a QB who had the same experience as Stockton had last year. Not to mention a brand new DC

or maybe they're viewing it as a classic between two very good teams. A rematch of the 2024 game where the visiting team eked out a win and rode it to the national championship game.

The 2025 version was a classic- probably the most exciting game of the year so far.



Very hard for you to admit it. It's okay.

If the defensive lineman wasn't tackled, they wouldn't have won.

Murder? No. It was an interior lineman who basically tripped over and fell down and got right back up but was not going to get to Reed on that play anyway. You very rarely see interior holding calls like that with a flag thrown.

Let's not forget that shortly before that they called back a TD on a weak hold on the other side of the field on a KO Return and multiple A&M drives were killed and ND drives extended with penalties in that game either. A&M had 13 penalties to 5 for ND. It's just a joke to act like the officials gave the game to A&M.

It's not. The CFP values win and losses the most. It's better to be 8-0 vs cupcakes than 7-1 with victories over top ten teams.

I just put on the red & black glasses & it's easy

But seriously, I would argue that making your first start with an entire offseason to prepare as the #1 QB is different than having a few weeks to prepare.

It's also different as far as pressure - he was not stepping into a sudden-death playoff matchup & the coaches know this, they can gameplan more conservativly knowing there's a whole season left to play. Defensive coaches are probably not holding any secrets by the time the playoffs get here. I think CB & this year's more experienced version of Gunner Stockton would be able to recognize a lot of what ND did & make pre-snap adjustments to limit their effectiveness.

There's also the "feeling" side - UGA has earned a lot more benefit of the doubt compared to ND because they've been a lot better in the last decade+ and have a lot more big marquee wins in that time period.

Did you actually watch the play? There was very little in the way of an actual use of hands on the ND player. The guy basically got ours off balance off the snap and they fell back. The OL had a small grab of jersey which he let go as he was falling. Was it a hold by definition? Sure, but it had nothing to do with the play as Marcel was rolling out and got rid of the ball fairly quickly. At best he might have provided a little more pressure on him but he wasn't going to sack him.

Otherwise it was 13-5 penalties in favor of ND and a LOT were very questionable and consequential. They had a TD called back just a few minutes before. They didn't cry about it though instead they went about driving down the field and making plays and winning the game. It's honestly one of the things that is different about this team than past A&M teams, they just stay focused on making plays.

If the refs measured right and gave UofH a first down when Texas played them last…

If Nebraska didn’t have one second stolen from them…

If non existent DPI wasn’t called immediately prior to Tucker’s kicked field goal…

If the ball does dribble out of bounds on an onside kick against Vandy….

You’re really not very self aware are you.
