It was sent to MWC, WAC and Big 12 (Big12 officials did the game). They apparently saw the interpretation of the rule as Solon did.Originally posted by Surfah View Post"Be a philosopher.

Well then Bender is vindicated. He's not an asshole anymore and I will go apologize on all of his social networking sites for the pain I caused him.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post

All this really proves that it was a call that was not as clear as many here were saying.Originally posted by Surfah View Post
Coaches and fans see it one way and some refs from multiple conferences see it differently. I think there has been enough shots telling people how stupid they are. Clearly intelligent and knowledgeable people can differ on their interpretation of that play.
I always thought it was a close call. Bottom line it sucks that Fuga is out.Dyslexics are teople poo...Comment

I think something can be legal but can still be a dirty play. The Nevada players egging on the fans after the injury didn't help much either."To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail."

I'm coming late to this thread, but didn't the refs first say that no one saw it? They reviewed the film, but since they didn't call it in the first place, the side they were going to take was predetermined.Comment

It really doesn't matter if it was legal or not, it was a cheap shot. Bender is an asshole and a dirty player.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

I agree it was cheap and violated the unwritten rules of the game (like throwing at a batter's head in baseball), but the outcry for ejection and suspension just makes the BYU fanbase look horrible.Originally posted by mpfunk View PostJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Which is the approach that needs to be stated. The "you are an effing moron if you agree(disagree) with the officials" is pretty ridiculous.(I am not saying that you said this, but it is in this thread in abundance).Originally posted by Surfah View Post
The real reason everyone is fired up is the end result of the play. If Fuga hops up and runs back the the huddle, there may have been only one or 2 comments about the hit(if that many)."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

But it's their job to interpret the rules, and therefore, they are presumably the authority on rule interpretation, so I'm not sure that the "the officials misinterpreted the rules" approach carries much water either.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Except that they interpret the rules wrong all the time. It's the weatherman's job to forecast the weather too.Originally posted by RedSox View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

am I wrong in assuming that what is being argued over is second hand knowledge about the MWC officials committee's evaluations stating that there was no foul on the play?
Has the committee made an official statement about the play includes an analysis that cites specific rules as to why it wasn't? If they haven't then we're relying on the statement that Bronco made, which includes no official analysis and cites no rules.
If this is the case then this argument is pointless.
Personally, having seen the rulebook and watched the play, I don't know how you can argue away the fact that the block was below the waist and the blocking box was non existent because the ball carrier had moved beyond it. If an official statement addresses those two issues effectively then there can be no claim that it was illegal.Dio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia
