    I don't think it was a call.  I did not see it as a call when I watched the game, and after watching the replay, I think it's maybe, if I drink tons of green koolaid.

    There. I said it.

    So consider this an opportunity to explain - you or anyone here - offensive PI to GM.  I'm all ears.

    I'm in the camp that believes, just because there were hands on the defensive player and then some separation, that doesn't mean there was a push and, thus, offensive PI.

    I see legal contact with hands, and then a WR that made a play for the ball.  there was visible separation simply because Texada's momentum continued along the original route/path, and Texada didn't jump up and away with him.  I don't see a push.  I see legal contact with hands, then an outstanding jump away from the original route to make a play towards the ball.

    EDIT: you can go to the exact snap in the stadium replay @ 3:21:00

    I watched the play last night, Texada was in the same foot stride as the WR until the hand contact. When you see the WR push, his foot path is significantly altered away from the ball. To me that is the emphasis for PI. I’d be saying the same thing if I was a UTSA fan and it happened against them. It was a bad bad missed call and that is not the green Kool aid talking. I also saw it live.

    There were many twists and turns in the saga of Nathan Tune. He was a walkon from Celina who was eventually put on scholarship. He was a backup for most of his career and almost quit due to celiac disease and the depth chart. When Vizza left, Tune decided to hang around to backup Riley. He finally got the starting gig in his senior season because Riley’s arm was so damaged by then. Two games in he dislocated his hip, ending his career. Then his dog, Ray, went missing. Not long after that, our starting transfer receiver from OU impaled himself jumping over a fence trying to get away from a pit bull. That made the legend of Ray grow. I don’t know if he was ever found or if he was chasing Tyler Stratford but it is all part of the legend.

     

    As an aside, I had forgotten how much (to use a Seth term) adversity the 2010 team faced. We had mega injuries but also had a player die and a spider bite in addition to the impaling.    https://meangreenwithenvy.typepad.com/blog/2010/10/injury-plague-week-6.html

    Man being an RA at the football dorms from 2008-2010 let me just say I have some stories 😂
