Dammmmnnn...

Yeah, that's a joke that I'll never find funny. I was just finishing law school when that happened. I'm sure that @Canesfreak remembers that one, painfully, as well.

My best friend flew that flight into Miami from Atlanta the day BEFORE the crash to visit me. Same flight. He was shaken up for days. Horrific.

On Monday, September 10, 2001, one of my tax partners at Deloitte was flying from MIA to Europe for a client meeting, and he left something important at the office (we were in the old Southeast Bank building, the really tall building on Biscayne between SE 2nd Street and SE 3rd Street).

So I volunteer to run to MIA, it's about 3 pm, so there's traffic and I get to MIA fairly close to his flight time.

I left my car IDLING at the departures curbside, risked the parking ticket, and ran inside to the international departures area to hand him what he needed.

Went back out to my car, no ticket, drove away, no problem-o.

Needless to say...24 hours later...that kind of airport shenanigans would NEVER happen again...
 
If it was the 1988 team, he had to have played in the Notre Dame game, or would have been on the Travel Squad?

So he would have confirmed the fact that Cleveland Gary did NOT fumble.

So my daughter gets an Uber in Ithaca, NY last night and the driver said he played TE at UM in 88. Asked for a name and she still hasn’t answered me.
So poll on who it was

Just wondering, could his claim even be legit? I mean, he could be just jacking up a false narrative of his accomplishments just to impress his riders.

He could also confirm that the refs didn't even rule a fumble, they ruled that Notre Dame got the ball on downs, because the refs thought it was 4th and goal when it was really 4th and 7 (and Gary picked up the first down).



4th and 7 from the 11. Pass complete to Gary. Goes down around the 1 and tries to stretch ball over the goal line.

Stonebreaker "recovers" the ball at the 2:

JJ desperately makes the "first down" sign, not the "ball was down/ground can't cause a fumble" sign:

JJ CONTINUES to make the first-down sign, for over 20 seconds, screaming "first down" VERY AUDIBLY:

End zone view. EVEN IF the refs rule he is stretching the ball over the line when his knee is down (they did), IT'S STILL A FIRST DOWN AT THE 1.

Ball spotted INSIDE THE ONE (where Gary's knee went down on the fictitious "fourth and goal") instead of AT THE TWO (where Stonebreaker recovered the "fumble" that the refs never called):

Game was announced by Brent Musburger and Pat Haden.

Here is what was said:

Musburger: Fourth down...and everything...[play begins, Gary gets down near the goal line]...Miami puts it down...Notre Dame pounces on the loose ball...Walsh is quickly there...was he called down? NOTRE DAME BALL! They have fumbled at the one yard line! Jimmy Johnson furious...Mike Stonebreaker has just recovered the biggest fumble of the season for the Fighting Irish...[Jimmy Johnson makes first down sign and audibly yells "first down, first down"]...Jimmy doesn't believe it...

Haden: He thought the receiver Cleveland Gary was down...again, this is fourth and seven....there is no such thing as long yards for this team...there's everything riding on this pass...the ball is caught there, he has possession...and the ball came loose before he went down...[COMPLETELY FALSE AND CONTRADICTS THE VIDEO THAT HE IS WATCHING AND SUMMARIZING]...it's a good call by the official...and it's the recovery there by Stonebreaker...you're gonna see the ball come out of his hands...[YOU DO NOT SEE THE BALL COME OUT OF HIS HANDS]...

Musburger: You talk about luck or whatever...the ball bouncing back out of the end zone...recovered on the one...[it was "recovered" on the two]...if they could have recovered it in the end zone, they would have had it out at the 20...instead, they are buried back here...and quickly they throw it to Ismail...
