Flag gone wrong? A look at the most controversial calls in college football history

Miami has won the 2003 Fiesta Bowl! Or not. Just as the Hurricanes were celebrating another national championship, a controversial flag changed the course of history -- forever.

i had never seen that referee magazine called it one of the greatest calls of all time. that is comical.

I hope Terry Porter's descendants enjoy their free rides to OSU.

One of my old bosses was friends with Terry Porter, and he stood by his decision to throw the flag despite ALL of his fellow colleagues saying it was a horrible call.

That still hurts to think about. My room mate at the time was from Columbus and came very close to getting knocked out.

Of course he does, in s**thole Columbus Ohio

People forget on third down kenzel snapped the ball late and they didn’t call delay of game

 

[mirasuegui]

Bottom line as Jimmy Johnson always said : If you leave it in the refs hand at the end of the game, you are getting *****. especially if you are Miami:

And I ain't watching that replay of the game on Thursday night. I was in a hotel room and we were out of town for my wife's uncle's funeral. I've never properly vented as she was asleep and I couldn't just start breaking stuff.

Because all refs care about is standing behind their calls. The magazine didn't analyze the technical merits, because PI is a judgment call. The magazine praised Porter for his "courage", because the piece of ****e has never come out and admitted that he blew the call.

We lost that game because our OL got whipped up front **** near all game long.

They did get whipped up front, but those kids got punched in the mouth, got back up, and after watching one of their teammates go down with a horrific injury, fought back to win the national championship.

What was the payoff for Porter on that call???????......................just wondering.....

I can hear it now......if this is a close game, then we need to do ****. If one of the others did not, then it was his turn to do the deed after looking at the situation.
We were robbed, assaulted, and thrashed on that call, and 9 out of 10 pundits agree.....

To **** with the magazine's take...what else would you expect them to say.......call him out?....

We were robbed, and Porter **** well knows it...

I am sick of hearing about that flag.....JUST fuucking stop them on 4th down. Krenzel completed just 7 **** passes all game long, which includes OT. I believe he had completed only 4-5 passes prior to that one.

Worst moment of my sports fan life.

What 4th down are you talking about, as*wipe? The one where Michael Jenkins blatantly pushed off, but the refs didn't call it. Miami got f*cked over by the refs at least 3 different times in that game, so excuse me for still being completely f*cking ****ed off about that bullsh*t pass interference call.

 

[HurricaneHauk]

Dorsey 3 1H turnovers
Sean Taylor INT and then stripped
Roscoe fumbling inside the 20 down 3 with 5 minutes left

Yeah the flag ****ed us but we ****ed up plenty ourselves, Ohio State didn't have one scoring drive in regulation over 17 yards

The 4th and 14 dummy. Miami gave up 17 yards on that simple throw. But all you dopes do is complain about the refs. The game should have been over then. It never should have gotten to the Porter flag.

We stop that and Porter would have thrown a flag for PI after the offense came out to run the clock out
