One UM fan went as far as to use his cell phone to snap pics of the play frame-by-frame off of his television (I'm sure that would hold up in court). You can find the whole post here, but this part was my personal favorite:
"Clearly Warren has the football at the end of this" is the explanation under the frame.
"Clearly?" What is "clear" about that grainy, pathetic, Paris-Hilton-sex-tape quality cell phone picture? As you already know, in the case of a dual-possession the ball goes to the offense (i.e. tie goes to the receiver). Does Warren "clearly" have the ball in that picture? What about Belcher's right hand? That angle is terrible.
My gripe isn't necessarily with the replay - maybe it wasn't indisputable enough to overturn the ruling on the field. But, how could you possibly in real-time think that Warren intercepted that ball and that Belcher didn't have possession? The real blown call was the call on the field.
The real reason IU lost was their inability to get 7's instead of 3's in the Red Zone, but I would've liked to see what they could've done had they been given the proper opportunity.
