These 10 Things: Don't let the ruling spoil Miami's 8-lateral TD win at Duke - CBSSports.com
It's True That Miami's Touchdown Shouldn't Have Counted, But I Don't Care: The knee was down. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it. We've all seen it since it happened on Saturday night, but in case you didn't, here's further evidence.
See? It was down. There may have also been some blocks in the back. I honestly don't know, as I never saw a definitive angle on any of the blocks.
Either way, the play shouldn't have counted, but you know what? I'm glad it did, because that was insane. One of the reasons I prefer the college variety of football to the professional kind is because things like this simply couldn't happen in the NFL, and that's too bad, because this was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
I'm going to watch a lot of college football between now and the time I die, and I can't say with certainty that I'll ever see anything like that play again. I'm relieved the refs screwed it up and didn't take it away from me. I also know that Duke fans feel a whole lot differently about this than I do, but I'm OK with that.
I'm sorry, Duke fans. I really am, but I don't want to hear any of your complaints, either.
There aren't many moments in my lifetime of watching sports that have me on the floor laughing as they're going on. And that was before this happened.
I will cherish the memory of this game forever. I even bought a t-shirt.
