BA-MBA Updates

Yeah, that makes sense. Because the clock operator was incompetent and allowed 2 additional seconds to tick off after a spiked ball during regulation, they're excused for allowing a play that happened 2 seconds after time had expired. Is that Logic 101?

Bud, you finally said it like I was trying to say it.

i thought we had already settled the 2 seconds issue, but obviously i guess not. and the expiring clock you are talking about is the scoreboard clock, not the field clock.

My dad is at the game, and he said ba's kicker ran on the field and they snapped it with 0.02 seconds left on the board, so i guess mba was not getting screwed

that is bull!!!

I was at the game last night and I saw the clock run out before the snap, there were at least 13 BA players on the field, and BA was not set!!!

MBA got gyped and it seemed increadably clear to me that in other aspects of the game other than that one part, that the refs were extremely partial, and it almost seems like they paid the refs!

....it hits 0 the ball is snapped, which clearly is way too hard of a call on a referee who has to look at both at the same time, which i guess is maybe every frame is .2 seconds roughly so it would probly either look like a bang bang play from his perspective or it mightve lok like he snapped it in accordance to the horn blowing to the ref.

dump,

If the center is watching the clock between his legs, this must mean the scoreboard clock at the field was behind the offense. Thus, the referee does not have the responsibility of watching both the clock behind him and the snapper in front of him. The umpire who is set between the linebackers should have a straight line view of the clock and the ball. Of course, I don't know wehre the clock is at this field, but according to others, the snapper was looking at it between his legs. Sooo, it sounds like the umpire dropped the ball here so to speak. He should have been the one to wave off the play as time had expired. This call would be no different than a play in baseball at first base.

By the way, did a horn blow? The horn is supposed to be turned off in football. I bet no horn blew. Love to hear from people at the game on this.

Ahhh, the imaginary field clock.

[BigRedBud]

We haven't "settled" anything.

 

And you're dead wrong about which clock is the "real" clock. That one really has been settled....over and over.

glasses only help people that read and do things like that- since you stick to purely sports, you probably don't need glasses.

ill need glasses to find the BGA article in the paper....

Haha. I believe there were some earlier in the year- I know for sure when John Harlin ran for 401 yards.

[5eagleball]

[dumptruck]

sorry ump, referee... either way i was just referring to a ref of the game, not the actual one. and yes the scoreboard was behind him so that is an accurate statement.
