I was in the press box for the Brad Smith show. A husband/wife duo from some Nebraska newspaper were in the row behind me. They were beaming as the fourth quarter started.
I took a look back at 'em after the throwback to B. Smith. They were a curious shade of yellow-gray.
Last I saw of 'em was on the elevator. They looked like they belonged in one of thos Southwest Airlines "Wanna Get Away?" ads.
After the game, Gary Pinkel's dry wit surfaced in the press conference. His first words were: "I had no idea that would cause such a commotion...."

Yeah, you guys keep telling yourself that.
I don't have to tell myself...the replay says it all.
Oh, I don't dispute that CJ didn't technically cross the goal line.... but stating that point is like still trying to argue that Worrell beat Orta to first.

In some ways, yes. But it's not the same.
Orta was eventually out at third...had no affect on the final score.
Charles Johnson SCORED A FRIGGIN' TD THAT WON THE EFFIN GAME.
