This will be the place to come together and discuss Big East schools and athletics. Hopefully it will become the premier Big East board. It's already on the best College Athletics Site. Bulliever's Charge:

1 - Unlike in college, in the NFL - a player lining up more than 1 yard off the neutral zone, running toward the line and jumping to block a kick is supposed to jump straight up and down - making absolutely no contact with any other player. 2 - As a referee, I can say that it was a bogus call.  To be sure, it was a technical violation of the rules -- but the Buc he landed on was BLOCKED INTO him.  Any Umpire worth his salt should have seen that.  Rice did jump straight up and would have come straight down had the Colt not pushed the Buc into Rice. I am willing to bet that the League office issues a "clarification" of this rule sometime in the next few weeks.  Won't change the fact that the Bucs were robbed in OT... Then again, if the Bucs could have held the Colts ONE TIME in three drives in the last four minutes, none of this would matter...

Penalties are NOT subject to the replay rule.

Chicago actually has more teams that play inside the city limits... (NY limits defined as the 5 boroughs) NFL - Chicago Bears - New York has NO NFL teams (both play in New Jersey) MLB - Chicago White Sox and Cubs - New York Yankees & Mets NHL - Chicago Blackhawks - New York Rangers (Devils play in Jersey, Islanders play in on Long Island) NBA - Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks (Nets play in Jersey) MLS - Chicago Fire - New York has NO MLS teams (the MetroStars play in Jersey) WNBA - Chicago has NO WNBA teams - New York Liberty WUSA - Chicago has NO WUSA teams - New York has NO WUSA teams (NY Power plays on Long Island) It's all semantics, but... Chicago 6, New York 5
