I admit I'm baised as an A&M grad, but there can be no debate that Pelini and Nebraska embarrassed themselves last night.

The RTP was a miss. From the R's angle he clearly saw the defender lower his helmet as he went in. What he did not see was that the helmet did not actually hit the QB but the shoulder did. I can understand with all the emphasis that is being placed on t hese calls why it was flagged but in retrospect, it was a miss.
You are right on re the Nebraska behavior. The psyche of this team since last year has been that they are going to be hosed by the Big XII. They go in expecting it and then they perform in a way that makes it (many fouls) come true.
I will have a video clip later in the day though that shows an A & M player not being a good boy and actually "causing" a Nebraska player to react in a way that got him a personal foul (kicked the A & M player) and an unsportsmanlike conduct (not sure what he did) on the same play. The A & M player must be an animal husbandry major as it appeared he might have been trying to artificially inseminate the Nebraska kid.
