Weird Bowl Happenings
I had better not blog about this game too often, but the Holiday Bowl just had one of the more strange happenings I've ever seen.
The Arizona State QB was almost sacked, but instead made some kind of play (its debatable whether he fumbled, lateralled the ball, or threw the ball [poorly; and backwards]). The ball bounced towards the sideline and a Texas coach/assistant/manager (it turned out to be Mack Brown's step-son) came out and almost touched the ball. The ball stayed in bounds and Texas ended up with it. The call on the field was first-down Texas.
The refs reviewed the play and inexplicably decided Mack Brown's step-son had touched the ball - un-sportsman-like conduct was called and ASU moved half the distance to the goal (to the 7 yard line). They scored on the next play.
I'm sure this will show up on youtube eventually. But man, that was crazy.
