I would swear that about 1997 A&M played KSU in Manhattan. We were middle ranked, and this was the beginning of the time that ksu was formidable. Despite getting our ass kicked on offense our defense kept us in the game. Seems like it was somewhere around the 3rd quarter ksu led by a TD or thereabouts. They went for and got the onsides kick. Caught us totally by surprise. 

It’s always a gamble, in that case ksu was hanging to a slim lead. As I recall they went on to score and ended up winning 36-17.

any call is a good call if it works

a call that doesn't work is a bad call, even if it's something simple like a QB sneak on 4th and one

Yeah, Frost's call would be considered brilliant if it had succeeded.

But, after making the call, the play had to work. The kicker rolled it directly to a guy wearing #11, who figured to have some decent hands.

So, (arguably) a bold call, but terrible execution.

And Northwestern's ensuing short-field TD was the difference in the game.

yup not a great call

Frost himself said if he had it over again he wouldn't make the same call

admitting it was a poor call

it's just that many are implying it was a horrible call and some think that bad call determined the outcome of the game

I'll stick on this.
It was a high-risk, high-reward call.
Had it been successful, it would have been seen as a great call.
But it was unsuccessful, so most see it as a terrible call.
A lot of things determined the outcome of the game.
Earlier, there was a difficult but erroneous call that hurt Nebraska--a fumble ruling when the ball-carrier's knee had already touched the ground. That helped determine the outcome.
And the failed onside kicked helped determine it too.

the fumble call on the 11 yard line probably had more to do with the outcome of the game

we'll never know...

most would think at least a sure 3 points from first and 10 at the 11, the way the offense was going at the time a TD seemed very likely, but of course they may have had a penalty or two or even a turnover

the fumble call was a bad call, but I can see where the video wasn't conclusive enough to over turn the call on the field

it was obviously conclusive enough for all Husker fans

I thought that it was clear that his knee had been down before the ball came out, but I told my esposita that the zebras probably weren't going to overturn it.

Good luck to everybody's teams.

WVU let one get away vs. Pitt the other night. That's a series that ought to be played more often.

I graded OU as a "B" for today's 45-13 win over UTEP, and that might be generous. UTEP is no good. The Miners got crushed by UNT last week, and UNT got crushed by SMU today.

At least it wasn't like last year's opener, barely holding on to beat Tulane.

Texas stomped UL-Monroe.

TCU stomped Colorado.

Texas Tech stomped Murray State.

Utah sort of gave it away to Florida.

The Fighting Mack Browns of UNC stormed back from a 21-7 deficit to Appy State and won 63-61.

N.C. State beat ECU 21-20. I've seen N.C. State suggested as a NY6 team.

Nebraska beat North Dakota by a comfortable margin, thanks to a 14-0 4th quarter.

ECU could well be better than usual, we don't know that.  App State was favored over UNC.

The Pac took it on the chin basically.

the PAC isn't much of a football conference

Nebraska would fit well there
