A little schadenfreude for the afternoon
ND fans still aren't over the Under the Lights game.

even sweeter
I can't even remember - what was controversial about the '09 game?
I'm guessing it's the Armando Allen non-touchdown.
Yeah, well Henne was in the endzone on the play before his fumble in '05. So they can shove it.
Long TD run in the first half (first quarter?) called back because the refs ruled the ND RB stepped out of bounds.
ND fans maintain that it was the "shadow" of his foot that was out of bounds, not the foot itself. Or some similar bullshit.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Ridiculous complaint on a couple levels - it was the correct call and besides, it happened in the first quarter (on their initial drive, IIRC).
nothing to see here...move along... here's the zit picking jpg instead...5:40
It's pretty clear that the shadow of his foot was out of bounds. The foot was also out of bounds.
Here's Brian's post on the overturned touchdown:

Love this topic.
So shadows stand vertically? Did Allen defy physics according to ND fans?
TD Jesus says "nope!"
well its true those two seconds should not have ticked off and if that didnt happen Notre Dame runs one play from the 50.. With Michael Floyd and Golden Tate who knows what coulda happened.
The clock ticked off because a Notre Dame guy bobbled the kickoff before it went in the endzone. It was the right call.
He definitely touched it. I remember turning to the guy next to me and saying that he should have let it go, and was quite pleased it would cost them a few seconds. I didn't even realize it was an issue until I got home and watched the BTN highlights.
I know exactly how they feel. I still think about that game all the time, too.
Watched it last night....twas glorious
"I'll be DVR'ing the ND games and watching them later on the condition that they won the game." - from the ND forum
If nothing else, we have confirmation from Notre Dame fans that, among other uses, DVR can be used to advance illegitimate historical revisionism in the annals of college football.
Perhaps a redundant phrase. Any examples of legitimate historical revisionism?
The Horror never happened. Don't speak about it with your children.
There we go.
The re-examination of motives and decisions is a fairly regular event in the academic process of historiography, which is what revisionism really entails, but of course, it has also been used to describe the deliberate distortion of events for various reasons. In the case of Notre Dame, I am pretty sure it is the latter, more negative usage. I imagine there are a few people in South Bend still waiting for the official ruling on Roundtree's catch in the end zone.
...how Criqui is crafting this beautiful masterpiece of a storyline that will ultimately turn nightmarish for him, and in the midst of it the color guy comes interjects with some irrelevant comment about Darius Fleming and Steve Filer are coming off the edge.
I hope Lewan wasn't too skeered of their speed rusher. I'll never tire of watching this either - the sea of yellow, long after the game ended!
That was amazing. It was after midnight by this point and no one wanted to leave. Best postgame atmosphere ever.
UTL was legitimately one of the best days of my life.
And that's one of the reasons ''In the Big House" has really grown on me.
To your credit, the wikipedia article on the subject does say "constant revision of history is part of the normal scholarly process of writing history." I take it back.
Still seems weird to me.
This is fantastic. They all knew we were going to win after they took the lead with 30 second left!
Had to add this from their blog:
"I'm also 25 and don't think I'll see Notre Dame ever beat Michigan or USC again. I've become a complete pussy."
domer schadenfreude!
Funny but I don't feel bad for them in the least..........
His foot was outof bounds by about 6 inches too. It wasn't like it was controversial at all.
I read almost all those post's, and the sad part is they all lacked hope. When Michigan had its three down years...at least we all knew one day we would return to glory. I can't speak for all of you, but I feel like most of us still had hope. These people have no hope. They're defeated. Sucks to be an ND fan I guess. All I can say to them is....HAIL!
The problem is, they lost to us during our down years! That would be enough to snatch hope out of my heart and soul too!
Well when you lose to Syracuse, Tulsa, Air Force, Navy, UConn, and South Florida at home in four years...

That site's forum is formatted terribly, and it's an absolute pain in the ass to navigate the comments. It makes me appreciate how well organized MGoBlog is.
Do you not hang out on many boards? MGoBoards are technically HORRIBLE. Obviously, the content is very good. And yes, that site's forum is worse. But in all seriousness, there is free forum software out there with more functionality, ease of use, and reliability than what Brian is running here.
to read. If we can just place the apple in redkelly's mouth one more time, he will be slowroasting in nd hell forever. . . we'll be on our way to another 3-4 years of readjustment to a new coach, by which time Hoke will rule the Greater Inner and Outer Midwestern Area 4EVR.
I feel sorry for this person.
The horror and the 08-11 seasons actually made me an even stronger/more obsessed fan. Forged in fire. (Growing up a Michigan fan in Ohio also hardened my fandom)
I hope he can find his heart again.
Pity
Lol
