If the proper protocols for replay weren’t followed then the FBS Oversight committee should overturn the result of the game and make Western Michigan the winner of the game against Michigan.

Period. End of Story.

Saying “hey they got it wrong, but we won’t fix it” only makes it worse and is a slap in the face to the fans of football everywhere.

@danorlovsky7 Defender removed, here's where the ball was 0.13 seconds after impact with the ground.

If you still think that's a catch. Wow.

[Steve Palazzolo @StevePalazzolo_]

Please stop analyzing catches with screenshots

[Doug Kyed @DougKyed]

I understand why Bills fans don't want to understand why it's not a catch. They're emotional and invested. It's natural. They're quite literally coping.

I genuinely don't understand how anyone who is not a Bills fan does not understand that Cooks didn't survive the ground. It does not matter that for a fraction of a second his knee is down, and he was touched. That's not the rule. The moment he hit the ground, he lost control, and the ball wound up in McMillian's arms.

Notre Dame’s CFP reaction is a total embarrassment https://t.co/vVgH5KbJwh

Proposal: if a team is offered a bowl game and declines, they should get a postseason ban the following season. Playing football is a privilege!

@BNSAg @ProsperBaseball I filled in on PBP for a few Prosper & Lovejoy games for Sportsgram in 2016 and had the pleasure of calling a couple of games with him. He was extremely friendly and a great broadcast partner, and absolutely loved Prosper High School baseball.

I still can't believe we're getting this camera angle when the Brewers legit have THE BEST CAMERA ANGLE FOR LHP

@That1rant @fox35orlando NFL rules. Orlando is a secondary market for both TB and JAX, Fox is contractually required to show whichever team is playing as the away team in Orlando, and since they have the singleheader this week (CBS has the DH) they can only show the one (JAX) game.

@Stephen36905208 @fox35orlando Fox is the designated single header network this week, they are only allowed to show a game in either the 1pm or 4pm slot.

@3girlsMck @Gemini_803 @NCAASoftball She did touch the plate eventually though before going back to the dugout. And as Gemini85 states, a first offense in the rule in question is a warning. So even if the play was reviewable, that warning is all they could have added which wouldn't have changed anything

[Adam Blackhall @ABlackhall2]

@FrankRossi @Bulldog14411 @PL4AU56 @NCAASoftball Rulebooks are often very complex and can sometimes seem to contradict themselves, which is why I appreciate them clarifying why they called it the way they did. Again if you disagree with their interpretation...this will get offseason discussion.

[Adam Blackhall @ABlackhall2]

@FrankRossi @Bulldog14411 @PL4AU56 @NCAASoftball Otherwise first/subsequent would all be in the same paragraph, or it would be its own third paragraph specifically stating "in all cases of first or subsequent offenses".

[Adam Blackhall @ABlackhall2]

@FrankRossi @Bulldog14411 @PL4AU56 @NCAASoftball The "credited with the last base legally touched" and "in all cases..." parts are in the paragraph about subsequent offenses. These do NOT apply to a first offense. Your interpretation would only apply if 12.17.3.4 had already been called against them earlier in the game.

[Adam Blackhall @ABlackhall2]

@FrankRossi @Bulldog14411 @PL4AU56 @NCAASoftball I suspect this play will get discussion in the offseason in terms of rule changes/tweaks/clarifications.

[Adam Blackhall @ABlackhall2]

@FrankRossi @Bulldog14411 @PL4AU56 @NCAASoftball Obviously your interpretation is incorrect, as the pool report came from the NCAA themselves including secretary-rules editor Vickie Van Kleeck and national coordinator of softball umpires Steve McCown.
