I am a Giants fan from Argentina. Very nice Giants information.
I miss the days of Lawrence Taylor and Phil Simms.
I hope to be in Chicago for a game this fall.

One thing that everyone is overlooking are the many non calls that the pac-10 refs didn’t call through out the whole game. There was a clip and a few holding calls on UW that weren’t called, so lets talk about the fairness in penalty calls. It was so lopsided its not even funny, so to have 1 or even 2 calls called was a miracle in it and of itself. I thought the cougars weren’t going to get a call the whole game. The second thing is that the kicker still had a chance to put the game in overtime. A 35 five yard kick should have been made. Heck as an EX soccer player I could have nailed that kick!!! For all intensive purposes it was a great game and the better team found a way to win. I give credit to the Cougars for making a play when it counts, just like last years Vegas Bowl and the games against Utah where they came back in both games at the end to win.

Without the penalty Wash. could have gone for two and won the game. At least it was an option. The penalty removed that option so they HAD to try the long kick.

You people are idiots. He clearly didn’t throw it high in the air. The reason it left the screen is he tossed it over his shoulder and it went to the ground. The block of the PAT is irrelevant; Willingham was already calling for them to go for two. Get your heads out of your XXX’s, Wazzu scum.

The kid can’t make a simple, mid-field, short FG. Gimme a break. How come there isn’t more discussion about that?

Was Steve Bartman the one who blocked the kick?

I agree Mad Dog. 1) The rule is pretty clear, 2) Would a truly well coached player with a head on his shoulders have broken the rule?, and 3) they still let the FG get blocked which is what lost the game, not the call.

They won’t be the only Cougar team beating UW this year.

How can people honestly say he simply “tossed the ball over his shoulder”??? He threw it so high into the air that it left the TV screen. Of course it was a penalty. Quit bitching and talk about the awful blocking on the PAT instead.
