Franks - it looks like you're unaware of the basic rules. They'd spot it the same way they'd spot any other forward-moving fumble - back at the spot of the fumble. An out-of-bounds forward fumble is always returned to the spot of the fumble....unless it goes in the end zone. Your "ALL CAPS" sentence just proves that you're ignorant of the rules.
@Dankster312 Haha I know the ruling of a forward fumble bud. Just like they aren't going to give you a first down if the ball rolls across the first down line OB they aren't going to give you a TD. The BIG difference between the two is that you are fumbling into the OPPOSING TEAM'S endzone. It's their endzone. No one has possession of the ball and it rolls OB in their endzone they gain possession. Haha bud you are the only one showing ignorance here. This is a VERY simple rule.
@franks155: How does not liking a rule make me "ignorant"? I know the rules of the book, I just don't like this one. You're the one who clearly didn't know where to mark a forward fumble. I haven't been ignorant of anything.
As far as "opposing team's" endzone, I'm failing to see why that deserves all caps. The opposing team can't do anything in its own endzone other than get a touchback or try to avoid a safety. It's the team with the ball that actually WANTS to get in that endzone.
@Dankster312 Haha I might have worded it wrong bud but I know and have known the ruling of a forward fumble.You are ignorant for the fact that it is another team's endzone,it belongs to them.When the opposing team "invades" the endzone with POSSESSION of the ball the team has failed to protect their endzone.It is simple man,I mean really simple. I have never heard someone whine about this rule.And when it comes to the caps, its called emphasis bud; its the only way to show it through typing.
Dumbest rule in sports...in any other situation a fumble out of bounds is given back to the team that fumbled it at the point of the fumble...but just because it crossed the pylon the other team gets it plus 20 yards of field position? Why is a OB fumble at the goal line penalized 100 times more than an OB fumble anywhere else on the field? What a crappy way for a game to end.
This rule isn't really that hard to comprehend bud. They aren't going to give the ball back to the team or give the team points that loses possession in the endzone. What do you mean just because it crossed the pylon? That's like asking why do teams get 6 pts just because they cross the pylon with the ball in their hands. Its penalized because that endzone is CAL's endzone, the sideline belongs to no one. Man I wonder what your opinion is on fumbling out of your own endzone for a safety.
@franks155: Lose the ball in your end zone and you get the same penalty you would get for being tackled there. That makes sense.
Lose the ball on the opponent's 1 yard line and it falls OB, you get the ball the same place you would if you had been tackled there. That makes sense.
But if you lose the ball on the 1 yard line and it takes a slightly different hop to hit the pylon, you suddenly lose the ball and the other team gets 20 yards of field position. Makes no sense.
@Dankster312 Haha dude it makes complete sense. You are fumbling into another teams endzone. It is THEIRS. You do not retain possession if you fumble in the opponent's endzone. When the ball goes OB at the 1 its no mans land so the last team with possession retains it and it is spotted at the 1. WHERE ARE THE REFS GOING TO SPOT THE BALL FUMBLED IN THE ENDZONE? They aren't gonna say hey try again we'll spot it at the 1 for you. This is not a complicated rule at all man. It makes complete sense.
duck fans always make retarded excuses for EVERY SINGLE game they lose. wasn't lucky, we beat you fair and square... you can't say because you guys made mistakes that it was a lucky win for cal, you making more mistakes makes us the better team! just face it... you lost the game... your mascot is gay... eugene is gay... uo is gay....
@greekloc hey umm so im just wondering i missed it but i heard the number 6 team in the country got BLOWN OUT and embarrassed by oregon 42-3 this year? was that cal? jeez thats embarrassing...im sorry for you and cal's GREAT success
A luck way to win a game, what a bs comment. Bret, you are 100% correct, this play was to tie the game and thats disregarding the fact that Oregon had already received a few breaks in the game such as the miscalled FG and the horrible late hit call.
Biggest choke job in Oregon history! Oregon was the way better team all year long even with the injury to Dixon but they managed to completely blow it and let a far inferior team get a lucky win in Autzen stadium.
you can't choke a game that you're not even winning. even if they scored at the end it still would have gone to OT and the golden bears would have still been likely to win. Cal is good.
This would of been a big win for cal, and should of pumped them up for the rest of the season, but it didn't, and cal eventually lost to stanford (which is a far worse lose than any the ducks had this season), and ended up losing 6 or their last 7, how embarrassing.
the funny thing is both these times made it to #2 but then lost because of their injured quarterbacks. owell i luv both these times and hope they do will next year. good luck riley and roper
It sucks that dixon got hurt. I am an OSU fan so i was not complaining when they lost to zona but if dixon was healthy they would not have lost any of those games and would be well deserving as the no.1 in the Nation.
that's the sad life of a washington fan these days - the only joy they can get is a team losing- especially one that rapes them 4 years in a row. enjoy life at the bottom of the pac 10. you will always have women's volleyball.
The only thing that's sad is that this was the one and only shot at winning a title. I don't see you guys even sniffing the top 10 let alone the top 5 anytime soon.
I would also expect Oregon to "rape us" since it is the dark ages in Seattle. Nice effort there to try and give yourself kudos.
Usually I don't mind Fouts. However, it is pretty tough to listen to the guy when he does Oregon games. I know the guy went to Oregon, but come on. Announcers are supposed to be unbiased. He may as well be wearing an Oregon Ducks shirt while he broadcasts thier games. Go Bears!
I think the Ducks are gonna be undefeated from now on. I also think that Cal is also going to be undefeated for the entire season. This was a defining moment in BOTH programs and is going to be the best rivalry in the Pac-10 for years to come.
I was about twenty yards away from the play and I must admit it was very hard to lose in this fashion. Just proves that football really is a game of inches. Despite the fact that we didn't overcome the turnovers, I still feel that the Ducks are the better team and the box score shows that. Great game, though. The ducks are still in the hunt for the Rose Bowl.
The Ducks were 6.5 point favorites, playing at home, supposedly the most difficult place to play in America, could not cause a turnover, were basically given a touchdown due to a late hit call on 3rd and long and 3 points because of a horrible call by the refs on the field goal that was actually good. In my mind, Cal won by 13.5 points and should have been 23.5. Neither team has a defense.
if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. that whole argument means absolutely nothing. cal couldnt stop oregon on defense in the 4th, the ducks turned the ball over blatantly - and in the redzone 3 times.
Maybe your aunt does have balls if you live in Eugene. Last time I checked, turnovers are part of the game and the good teams are way in the + when it comes to turnover margin. Cal is in that catagory and the Ducks are not. I am not a fan of either, so my opinion is non biased, but based on what I saw on NON HD TV (The only Non HD game on ABC all day)the ducks and Bears are over rated.
Thanks for posting, I was busy watching my team get shellacked in person and never saw this. I heard some Duck fans saying it was a bad call... looked like a pretty easy and obvious one to me... tough way to lose though.
After Oregon's game last year against Oklahoma and the botched field goal call earlier in this game, I was not so sure the refs were going to get it right. The ducks have been on the favorable side of a few calls lately.
how sweet it is to be a golden bears...and we have two weeks go celebrate. How horrible it would've been to dwell on a heartbreaking loss during a bye
Oh, God bless Oregon and their fans. I'm a Cal fan but it was anybody's game, obviously. Feel lucky to have escaped with a win. Still, that had to hurt.
For all the times Cal had heartbreaking losses at the goalline (eg @ WSU 1996, @U$C 2004), it was soooo sweet to be on the winning end. Great game Ducks!
