Because it is true. Let’s get over it for God’s sake
Who knows, maybe they did? I'd like to see the video of it. From the pics on X it did not constitute a slide because it wasn't feet first. The video may show otherwise.
I'm confused... Should players then be taught to still slide but with knees first because due a technicality in the rule you're then marked where the ball is when the knee hits? If so, that's kinda hilarious.
I have no idea. The rule just applies very clearly to a feet first slide. Start a petition if it's important to you.
So, by your interpretation, if the FSU QB could have regained his footing and started to run again, he would be allowed because it wasn't "feet-first"?
Can’t argue with that.
I’m over it. Was a horrible call but the game meant nothing so easier to live with for me.
I'm just reading the rule and watching the video. Every time they say slide, they say "feet first slide". Im guessing that means if it's not feet first it's not considered a feet first slide. Call me crazy. I have know idea how or if the FSU player could've regained his footing, I'm just pointing out in that single frame, his feet aren't first. I even said the video could show otherwise
The logical extension of your position (that he isn't sliding feet-first) is that he could continue running without penalty if he could regain his footing since the fake slide rule also says feet-first.
You seem to have a reading problem. I never said you said it. I said it was a logical extension of what you did say.
Well, those who think Veilleux did anything wrong in the least and that the refs and conference are somehow beyond reproach here, when the FSU game showed the absolute total irrefutable proof that it was at least an incorrect call and likely more a biased one intended to give the good ole boy school another chance, is what’s boggling.
the fsu game has nothing to do with it. yes, that was a bad call, so what? So a bad call 3 hours later makes a good call wrong? That makes no sense..
The PsU kid did nothing wrong, in fact he made a very good play by todays football standards. Sliding is the way all QBs play that situation today. All of them. Pitt was screwed and the FSU play evocatively proves it. It was the exact same situation and until the ACC follows up and admits THAT one was wrong and issues an apology to Duke, it continues to prove it.
the acc officials confirmed it, lol, it's not a debate. some pitt fans are hurt that their team lost, that's it, that is your argument. your team lost and well boo hoo..
This has to be THE STUPIDEST rule in college football. In every other situation, it's where a knee or elbow touches. If CV had dived forward, they wouldn't mark it from where he STARTED the dive. But somehow, a slide gets marked from where it starts and not where it ends. Good grief.Source: ACC office informs Pitt that Christian Veilleux's slide was called correctly
Officials in the ACC office informed those within the Pitt football program that the placement of the football was correct after quarterback Christian Veilleux’s third-down slide against Wake Forest, a source told the Tribune-Review. A controversy developed in the final minute of Pitt’s 21-17...
Wait, am I unretarded or not? I’ve never been called unretarded. Not sure how I feel about this.
Many options. Is Jennifer garner hot? Dirtiest bathrooms in western pa? Good OC candidates that narduzzi will never hire. Was our chancellor the reason Dior was kicked off team? What’s cheesier, narduzzi’s blue vase or capels brick wall? If you are a straight guy under 40 and play pickle ball, should you be made fun of?
