OT: ND ending - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

When they didnt get the 1st down on the 4th down try with about 2:20 left I turned the channel. When I came back and saw the band playing and BradyQ smiling I let out a "WHAT THE F*** HAPPENED!!??"

My two favorite college teams and the scores were similar throughout both games.

I've seen the replay of that toss, too bad I wasn't watching that game. As a Cal fan that catch and score had to mess with your equilibrium!

It's like being a Belichick era Pats' fan, you know the team believes they can come back, so you chew your fingernails a bit. At least with ND my fingernails get a rest when they do this.

Just curious - Did'nt Weiss have his stomach stapled? It's not working if he did.

I didn't see the whole game, so my comment was simply from the fact that the ending sequence was as perfect for ND as you could get.

Predictable run-run-run-punt situation by UCLA along with the delay of game being taken - negating a first down that would-have-been on the ensuing holding on the punt. Great playmaking on the final drive though, you're right.

And yeah, you're right about Herm, what was I thinking?
