    If that picture shows nothing it is high time I pour gasoline over my head and light a match. It is amazing what people choose to see and not see. Part of the human condition.

    The game didn't come to that play plenty of other factors.

    Passion, frankly not your best effort. You have brought a much higher level of discussion then this. We all have our days!

    A lot of people, who are impartial, said there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call.

    Exactly. Why would an impartial observor - who also had access to the video and still shots - say that the evidence was inconclusive?

    In that photo it looks like the foot of an ASU player could be underneath the ball.

    The catch call the rule on reviews is it has to be conclusive.

    Had they called it incomplete you guys would be correct. However, the call on the field was a completion. It wasn't conclusive evidence to over turn it.

    Now did that cost UW the game? No it didn't. Would UW had won had they made that coach? Who really knows? It's not like the Huskies have Folk as their kicker so you still had a good 25 yards to go if not more to feel comfortable with the kick.

    It is okay to say the call was wrong to overturn it AND point out that UW fucked themselves way before that call so it shouldn't have came down to that.

    For the 781st time, there is conclusive evidence of the football on the ground. That's conclusive evidence to overturn in this case.

    For the 781st time, you fail to acknowledge the standard of review. The ruling was a catch, so unless you can indisputably prove 1. where his right hand was, and 2. that he did not have control of the ball as the ball touched the ground -- you have no ground to stand on. None. I know your schtick on here is to be the raging sexually frustrated negative nancy, but you come across stupid here dude. Sorry.
