    The game? As bad as the score? Yes. The game was bad.
    The pounding? As bad as the score? Not really.
    Both teams came out like pure crap, although the Aggie defense was working pretty hard. It was just sloppy and boring football. Its also hard for TAMU to get a groove going on offense when their plays don't build upon each other. Its complete random playcalling. 5-wide, run, 5-wide, 5-wide, run, 5-wide, etc... its nonsense. Basically TAMU lost momentum off strange plays and finally crumbled. They crumble easily.

    Um, there has NEVER been an NFL or college football game clock that has showed any tenths of a second on a clock. Never. This is not the NBA.

    You cannot have 0.5 seconds on a clock. It's either one second or no time left. That's a fact.

    Wrong..... I've been trying to find a specific example, but thus far, only found this article from 2007!

    http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/070130

    "...but with many football scoreboard clocks now showing tenths, even in high school, how long until the absurdity of arguing about tenths of seconds extends to football too? While football doesn't count tenths during games, the sport is guilty of an equal absurdity: arguing about hundredths of seconds in dash times."

    I know I've seen a college game the past year with tenths of a second accounted for. Not sure which one, though. A difficult thing to look up, for sure.

    Then why the hell did yesterdays game have a clock that showed 0.5 seconds when Jerrod spiked the ball?

    Who cares if there was 0.5 or not? They woulda snapped the ball in time and kicked the FG good just like it happened with 1 whole second....

    The scoreboard at Rice Stadium shows tenths of a second. I've seen it with my own eyes.

    Then why didn't they have a chance at a FG? Cause you can't have .5 seconds on a clock. Either one second or zero.

    Duh that is what people are complaining about ... It should have been reviewed just like the end of the Texas-Nebraska game.

    I'm know you didn't even watch the game because you didn't see the tenths of seconds so I don't know what or why you care to argue about something you didn't even watch. Do you realize you are arguing that refs didn't make a mistake on a play that you didn't even watch? Unbelievable.

    The announcers, the halftime guys, and excerpts from articles written after the game are saying it was a blown call.

    Based on your argument, every call in every game of every sport has been correct because that is the way it turned out.
