Meh, at the end of the day I think it is perfectly legitamite to gripe about the recalled TD. It was an absolutely shocking beyond belief call. And you can talk about it being 4 points (in a 4 point game), but the reality is that its significance is more than 4 points.
The TD stands, the crowd is quietened at 7 - 7, doubt creeps into the mind of Michigan earlier, the momentum swings to ND earlier. It could have been the difference between a 14 point and 6 point lead at HT. And yeah, this is all speculation, impossible to prove, etc. But the difference in atmosphere on the sideline and the stands before and after the call was reversed is something tangible that we all witnessed. That kind of thing can't be simply weighed as a cold 4 points at the end of a game.
Intensely irritating.
