ND DBs clutching and grabbing all day

Here's the better question-why aren't we doing the same thing? If they're not calling it, why not?
They are allowing plenty of contact by the offensive players too. But I suppose you gius don't see that part.
We'll never know since we weren't close enough to their receivers on deep routes to try it.
If Pitt would've covered a receiver I'm convinced they would've been called for PI. I mean it was play, after play, after play, after play that Notre Dame on both sides of the ball did not get penalty calls against them. It is almost physically impossible for Notre Dame to commit so few penalties as the refs claimed. There's a slight chance it could happen, but it didn't and everyone with eyes saw it.
I'll agree with that. I was absolutely shocked because it's still undeniable, Notre Dame has got every single break for years. I couldn't believe what I was seeing in the Temple game though. For the first time, Notre Dame was getting robbed almost every play. I really don't know if Notre Dame threw a single pass that game where a Temple d-back did not hold or commit PI. They only called a handful of them, but I'm telling you there were much, much more.
Yeah, right, all of a sudden, for ONE game, ND gets calls AGAINST them? It was no different yesterday than it was the week before.
I'm hoping you mean you saw calls going Notre Dame's way also in the Temple game? Because if not it was clearly different. Yesterday Notre Dame got so, so many GIFTS that they in no way deserved. So if you wanna say that happened in the Temple game, maybe some plays I missed that happened and you're right. I will not disagree with you though if you're just simply saying that yes, Notre Dame always gets the calls, because 99.9% of the time every single year, they do get the most favorable of breaks.
I agree
Just like every other week, calls a no-calls went both ways
It's just easier to see it when you don't have a powerful rooting interest
You clearly are blind. Not to mention you discredit yourself with your point. You only say this because you root for Notre Dame. The refs on Saturday were terrible and Notre Dame had so many things go their way that weren't even close to debatable. Everyone who doesn't root for Notre Dame can clearly see they almost always get everything to go their way. It's your rooting interest that makes you think you're right.
Anybody who thinks that ND won on Saturday because of the refs is off the mark. They were clearly the far superior team. Their 3rd string running back had a career day. Fuller could have easily had two more TDs if a couple of passes weren't slightly off target. The final score was closer than it could have been. The game was decided by the play on the field and not by the men in the striped shirts.
The concept of ND being the better team and ND getting one sided officiating in their favor are not mutually exclusive. ND was clearly the better team. ND also clearly was aided by the officiating.
Terrible post. Notre Dame is clearly better but you and your blind Domer buddies never think the refs are a problem when they make such huge calls and non-calls that are so obvious to everyone who can actually see. The final score actually would have been close if the game was called fairly. Notre Dame is much better though, so I don't think anyone can say the refs actually cost us the game, but they aided about every big Notre Dame play.
Gee, where to start. First you call it a terrible post and then you agree that ND is clearly the better team. Then you make reference to "blind Domer buddies" I must say literally speaking i don't know of a single one. In terms of things being obvious, just as folks often hear what they want to hear they see what they want to see. I haven't noticed any groundswell of criticism from impartial observers concerning the the way the game was called by the refs. There's no Duke Miami, Nebraska Michigan State complaints being aired in the press that i can find. In terms of the refs providing aid to about every big Notre Dame play I can only suggest you watch the game again. I have and I still don't see it.
That said I generally root for Pitt. My oldest son is a graduate and I consider it to be a tremendous institution of higher learning that I have nothing but respect for. In addition i love the city of Pittsburgh. 11 of the books I have co-authored have taken me all over the Commonwealth and Pittsburgh is by far my favorite city in the state. One of those books "Keystone Tombstones Pittsburgh Region" includes a chapter on John Sutherland who I rank as one of the top ten coaches in history. That book also includes a chapter on one of the Four Horsemen, Harry Stuhldreher, who was laid to rest in Pittsburgh's Calvary Cemetery.
I only meant terrible because you made it sound like the refs were just fine and dandy. Like you even mentioned, other than that I agree with you. Notre Dame is a really good team. But again, another point you make here just makes no sense. There's no complaints in the press because a) It's Notre Dame and b) attention is only brought up when it's the game deciding play.
I've also watched the game more times live and on replay than most probably will their entire life. I have no idea what you watched. For one, Notre Dame does not get holding calls, the non PIs altered the game somewhat and there were plenty of those among other missed calls. I do not mean to sound like I'm attacking you, feel free to share your opinions. I actually apologize because I thought you were a Notre Dame fan and the way they keep posting about how the refs were fair made me reach my boiling point.
Even if you disagree with me, which we probably will, I would be fine with a friendly banter. Maybe I should go easier on Notre Dame fans too, but that's not easy lol. Best of luck to you with your writing though!
