What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNot a coach. The conference.

  2. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBYU beat Notre Dame twenty-eight to twenty-four, and the Big 12 now says time remained on the clock when the final pass hit the ground.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHow much time?

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorOne second. Notre Dame had first and goal from the nine, and it was a sixteen-game winning streak.

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI sat on a bench for six seasons and nobody ever gave me a second back. Surface of the sun.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne second. Rex, I've timed it. That's less than it took you to say 'surface of the sun.'

  7. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd the officials cleared the play anyway.

  8. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorFox's Mike Pereira called it embarrassing for all officiating, and the Big 12 promises a full review before next week.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA complete review before next week's games. They found one second, so I assume they'll need about a week.

  10. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTo cool it, they get that second right every week. Tech's next, and Dr. Byte, I trust your clock is accurate.
