Was the Hobnail comment necessary Larry?

So i am watching CBS Rewind the other night and i am forcing myself to sit through the infamous "Hobnail Boot" game and i witness this "apparent" first quarter TD catch by Kelly Washington.

Remember, no replay in 2001 and check the terrible angle of the ref in this video.

No Hobnail (via guilded)

 

The CBS truck ordered this replay and the announcers paid no attention...but HE DID NOT CATCH THE BALL.  At least not anymore than Jabar Gaffney did...that one time.

I post this for two reasons:

1) This CBS channel rules even though they show too many Vol losses.

2) That Munson call rips through me like a saw on the intro to the game every year and in some small, insignificant way, knowing KW did not catch this first quarter TD pass nullifies some of that pain.

One more thing, if Travis Stepehens would have been pulled down at the one on that long, lead taking TD run in the fourth, and the Vols had run a play or three to get in...none of this would be necessary.

At the time of TS's TD i seriously bemoaned to my Dad that the quick strike run left too much time  on the clock.

Painful.

However...

…just like UF fans remind us…

Was it 4th down?

Does the fact that he didn’t catch the ball mean that the Vols would not have scored on the next play?

No, it doesn’t change the fact that these were 6 points that the Vols did not earn, but it doesn’t mean that our pain should be nullified.

I wouldn’t change the outcome for the world, though. We needed to lose this one. We had bigger and better things to come.

In addition, the Field Judge had a great angle on this play. Look at your video again.

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
