Referees gave Tulsa a gift

The opening odds start here
Pass interference penalties proved costly but flag thrown on 4th and 10 3 full seconds after the play ended by the ref some 30 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

Very next play with Tulsa around the ECU 37 yard line, strip fumble looked clearly on replay recovered by the defense, but after replay look was ruled to be recovered by Dickerson of Tulsa with under 2 minutes remaining.

That's not all. A 4th and 5 for Tulsa showed a completed pass on the field with replay showing the ball clearly skidding along the turf. Refs once again incorrectly confirmed a catch. All of this led to an 18 yard rushing TD by TK Wilkerson with :28 left that would eventually give the Golden Hurricane a 34-30 win. ECU easily covered the 16 but ruined I'm sure a fat ML where available and dropped the Pirated to 1-4 overall, likely contributing to their bowl hopes. 3 mistakes inside 2 minutes. Expect the zebras to face some stiff discipline and possible fines and/or suspensions.

I saw a price as high as 7/1 on East Carolina to win the game straight-up.

Similar price on Maryland tonight to pull the upset over Minnesota, a 'dog that did find its way home.
 

Almost Allright

GO Bucks!!!
Missed extra point in OT for Minny. Was surprised they didn’t go for the win even before the miss. They moved it all day on Maryland’s D. Side note: let’s slow the roll on Michigan’s Joe Milton as the savior. Minnesota garbage on D.

You aren't wrong Jimmy, Tulsa very fortunate (and I had no action on the game).

Good point on going for 2 AA..... of course it's easy to say now but even before the kick there was clear and obvious concern about him making it.

Didn't they have a back go for over 200 yards on the ground?

I like my chances.

The conference admitted officials’ error on the fumble. The whole thing looked fishy. Those calls were not that difficult. I had no stake in the outcome , so no sour grapes here.

I did not see the game.

But I assume the refs were inept, not corrupt.

The assumption has served me well until Tim Donaghy reared his ugly head.

Last week, Fox Sports college football analyst Urban Meyer was praising Joe Milton's skill at quarterback.

Meyer labeled Michigan's attack a "legitimate spread offense."

This week, the former college football head coach sang a different tune.

Meyer cited the lack of NFL talent on the Michigan roster, especially at the wide receiver position.

Good thing for Meyer that his Fox Sports salary contract is guaranteed and he doesn't have to survive in the world of 11/10.

Even Urban isn’t immune to the company directed hype Michigan gets each and every year.
