Look, look, I’m sure there are people that are going to get all up in arms about how some Michigan or Texas or some team’s upright-splitting field goal was No Good’ed by the refs way back, or about some obscure CFL game when a guy ran the wrong way and still scored a touchdown, and try to make me feel bad for not knowing anything about anything. And imma let you finish…
But a guy not catching a ball in bounds or, you know, even catching it out of bounds — as in, Dan Stricker didn’t even catch the ball, as in THE BALL WAS NOT EVEN CAUGHT — but still “scoring” a “touchdown” is one of the worst, absolute worst, inexfreakin’plicable blown calls of all time, OF ALL TIME.
Here’s Andy and Rod (pretty sure) losing it:
“Holy mackerel.”
“Oh what a terrible, terrible call!”
“That may be as bad as you’ll ever see.”
“How can he call that a touchdown?”
“The line judge was looking right at it?”
“Oh for goodness sakes!”
“Wait till this SEC officiating crew gets a load of that one.”
“‘Questionable’ may be gracious there.”
“He’s looking right at it. Look at that? How do you miss that?! How do you miss that?!”
“Unbelievable. I cannot believe it.”
“He didn’t even catch the football! There was never a catch in any form! Holy cow!”
“Rarely do you see one blown that much! He didn’t even catch the football in bounds or out of bounds!”

As I recall, the Vandy coach was very defensive about this call after the game. He even snapped at a reporter, “What do you want us to do, give the score back?”
