Kobudnik, Hemmingway caught the ball, he had control of it and he scored a TD. That’s a fact. If it was not a catch, you would have seen the ball move in the air. It didn’t. It was stationary. Just because the angle showed part of the ball protruding does not mean the ball was not caught. Iowa is a strong team with a great Defense. Iowa City is a tough place to play. Michigan is very young (5 freshmen playing on D) and pretty banged up. The fact that were were just 1 TD down is pretty impressive. It proves how awesome our coaches are. Winning such a game requires a a lot of effort, and having cheating refs is not acceptable. And yes, it was cheating. In the 90s, when refs had to rely on their eyes to make close calls, such a decision would have been perfectly acceptable. But these days, the facts are laid before you. I said it from the start, Michigan should demand an investigation and legal action to be taken. This could have cost Michigan millions of dollars, and I want my pound of flesh.

I agree about the play calling though. On 4th down, Michigan should have tried something a little different.
