I agree with him completly, you could almost decide the winner from a coin toss. Football (sports) have some rules that just make no sense, not to hijack this thread, but here's another one I saw this season. Oregon vs Cal, before the Ducks lost Dixon and fell apart, they were undefeated at the time. Under a minute to go, down by 7, first and goal for the Ducks at about the 5 yard line. Swing pass to the split end, he dives for the endzone at the corner marker, gets hit hard, fumble..... The ball bounces at about the inch line right in the corner on the feild, goes over the marker, which is in the endzone and continues to go out of bounds without another bounce.... Touch back, Cals ball on the 20, game over.
You can fumble a ball into the endzone, but not in and out of the endzone. You can fumble a ball out of bounds and it remains whoevers had last control of the ball..... that one hurt.
I was also listening to a Duck basketball game the other night, they were playing a early season game with a smaller school. The game started out with "T" shots, because the other team did not turn their line up to the scorers table in time.... two shots and then a jump ball.... We'll call that a spanking from or great Pac 10 refs :roll:
