Today's College Football Bad Calls
 

The only game available without coughing up for PPV here is Colorado-Baylor. That in itself sucks ass.

With :09 to go in the 2nd quarter, Baylor down 14-17 with 4th & 6 on their 47 decides to punt the ball. (Why not go for it? Well, it is Baylor after all. Stupid things seem to be the norm there.) They get flagged for a substitution infraction while punting the ball. Colorado has a run-back, during which time expires.

The correct call should have been either: 1) say the play never happened, put :09 back on the clock and march Baylor back 5 yards; or 2) since the offense committed the penalty with under :10 to go, the half ends on the offensive penalty.

What happened? The officials marked off the 5 yards and replayed 4th down as an untimed down! On top of that, Colorado wasn't allowed to decline the penalty!

Untimed downs at the end of a half are for *DEFENSIVE* penalties. Since Baylor had the ball at the time of the penalty, Baylor was on OFFENSE.

It's a good thing that referee crew was in Waco and not somewhere where they could have done real damage!

Of course Baylor, being the chicken-shits they are, took a knee to end the half instead of a shot at the end zone.

omg omg omg omg! baylor 35 colorado 23 with 1.5 qtrs left!


omgod! baylor is not a free win anymore! omg!

Damn stupid Colorado!! I can see losing to Florida State and Washington State but Baylor?????? What the Hell??

The Apocalypse Has Come! Baylor wins conference games in back-to-back seasons!

what a whacky season.

kansas gets a conf game and so does baylor!

what is this world comin to?

I don't want to hijack a thread, but that appears to have been done already. In response to another thread where some were calling for the ouster of Baylor from the BigXII, and attempting to bash Baylor in general, I made the following comments this summer:

While there is still a long way to go in getting the athletic program back on track, it was pretty damn sweet.

its definately a start.

baylor HAS to get fan participation in these games. the stands were 1/3 full at max and a lot were CU fans

… yeah, but at least they tore down the goalposts faster than the Jayhawks did. :D

Baylor at Kansas on October 18. Now THAT should be interesting. Would it be bizarre if both were 2-0 in the conference going into that game? The Big XII might have to find a real ref crew instead of the WAco Wackoes they had Saturday.
