I do think the college game should go to a review format similar to what the pro game does, with challenges ect.

Well since that replay travesty, the crew on the field has proved to be less than championship caliber.

That's Delaware? I thought I was watching ESPN Classic and Appalachian State was beating up on Michigan. Those ugly helmets should be outlawed.

You should find two teams as successful as the ones who wear the winged helmets.

I'm familiar with Princeton as they wear that style of helmet, but I don't what other team you are referring?

You Wolverines fans are going to have deal with the shame of that loss for years to come. You're having a hard enough time finding a coach that can win that "one game". Maybe they swing it so they dump Ohio State off their schedule and Purdue or Northwestern is the big rival game at the end of the year.

You are free to tout any team you want.
But the fact remains Michigan is the all time leading college football team in wins and winning percentage. And, as an Ohio State fan, I am painfully aware of the disparity of wins against Michigan.
Fritz Crisler invented the winged helmet at Princeton and took it to Michigan.
Delaware uses it as do a handful of other small college teams.

I have found two teams as successful as the two teams that wear the winged helmets:

Youngstown State University Penguins: four (4) Div. I-AA National Championships in six (6) trips to the National Championship game under Jim Tressel.


The Ohio State University Buckeyes: one (1) Div. I-A National Championships in two (2) trips to the National Championship games and a chance for another National Championship next month under Jim Tressel.

It was a MEAC crew. McDonough and Spielman ripped them to shreds last night for so many conferences.

I was torn- it did appear that waved off several flags and did have a lot of get-togethers but if the whole idea is "to get it right" then isn't that what they were doing?

All-in-all, they did appear a bit "disjointed".

So I take it you did NOT like the TD reversal in the Mt Union/Wisconsin-WW game?

Replay clearly got the call correct. The view from the calling official just wasn't there. Don't know what he was looking at.
I'm all for replay in getting it right and so far in all the games I've seen, it's been correct.

Didn't see the game. But I gather from your post the official made a mistake on the original call.

In the App State/Delaware game the original call was obvious to the naked eye and there was no dispute. Only when replay slowed it down over the next five minutes did it come up with a video only result showing the player down and inch from the goal line despite not even being down by contact.

This is NOT a play instant replay was set up to reverse. This is a total travesty of the game.
