     What's up art? And yes, the "great Mike Trout" is still striking out. LOL. This is 8 seasons in a row that he will have more strikeouts than hits in a season. And next year will be 9, next year will be 10 and so on. Yet people love him!! People think he's great!! People think this is 2015 still. LOL

     Well, they put 1 second back on the clock for a reason? What's the reason then? It looks like they are supporting what I'm saying.

     This is his 16th season and he still can't win a gold glove, batting title, home run title, playoff win. He hasn't hit above 240 in 6 years. Only two times in 16 seasons over 100 RBIs. Yet people love him. They think he's great. They won't admit that with all of his strikeouts he leaves lots of guys on base through the years. One delusional Mike Trout fan told me, seriously, this is what he told me. That he only strikes out when no one is on base, that he actually don't leave runners on base. So I told him. Oh, so he strikes out the same way he hits home runs, when no one is on base. Lol. And I never heard from the dude again. LOL. Trout fans are so delusional it hurts me. LOL

    oh no, you definitely wrong. NCAA rule 2-12-3 and 2-12-4 define both back of end zone and sideline as the same in regard to boundary line. No different rules for each in regards to this mess. 

    NCAA rules 4-2-3(a) address when it’s officially out of bounds:

    ”a loose ball becomes out of bounds when it touches the ground, a player, an official, or something else that is out of bounds/on or outside the boundary line.”

    @TxRangers

     Why do you think this result has gone viral nationwide ? And why did the announcers spend time post-game pointing out just how wrong it was . But you should not need any of this . Incognero gave you the location of the rule. Just stop.

    Tbh at the stadium it didn’t seem that close. The tv clock isn’t the same. At least a second still on the clock when 18 touches the ball out (OB). 

    seemed like they got it right… but woah is underwood bad. I honestly think Tommy Carr is starting by week 3an_bomb

    Tbh at the stadium it didn’t seem that close. The tv clock isn’t the same. At least a second still on the clock when 18 touches the ball out (OB). 

    seemed like they got it right… but woah is underwood bad. I honestly think Tommy Carr is starting by week 3an_bomb

    The reason one second was restored is that the Western Michigan player had already stepped out of bounds before leaving his feet for the ball. Because he was out of bounds, the ball became dead immediately when he touched it.

    Had he left his feet from inbounds, the play would have remained live until it was completed and ruled dead, at which point the clock would have already expired and the game would have been over.

    Horrible break for WMU but it was the right call because multiple replays show 1 second on the clock the moment the WMU player touched the ball.

    If this not true, then thank you for the response. The game clock on the television was at 0 prior to anybody touching the ball though. So if that was the correct game clock, the game ended as soon as the ball was touched by the player that was out of bounds jumping for it

    Go check out the video footage the conference shared. There’s clearly time left on the stadium clock. Even the MAC reviewed and confirmed it was correct
