My D was a philosophy major and even she said, 'there is no way a ball can bounce that far out by hitting net'.This. There is no physical process that could allow the ball to cross the plane, and then bounce out at the height of the crossbar and traveling straight out. My guess (and Quint's) is that the ref was fooled by the net fluttering (from the impact on the crossbar). But a goal simply cannot be scored with the ball traveling along that particular trajectory. (So sez this fan, who happens to have a PhD in physics.)
Actually, it bounced downward with the first bounce just beyond UMD's #42's feet. This could have been from hitting tight net, but I don't think so. The net would have needed to have been extremely tight to have bounced with as much momentum that it rolled as far as it did. But not impossible.Big Dog wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 5:54 pmMy D was a philosophy major and even she said, 'there is no way a ball can bounce that far out by hitting net'.This.

ummm... the entire ball.needs to cross the line. which means past any pipe also.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 6:21 pm I'd like an enhanced close up view in order to be 100% sure, but sure looks close to 100%. If it hit any pipe, the physics make it impossible to bounce away from the goal mouth, yet have half the ball fully cross the line.
Ohhh, I quite agree. I'm saying that the ball goes into the net, if the ball is even half way over the line...that's just the physics. So, IF it hit pipe, it definitely didn't even go half past the center of the pipe. Otherwise it ends up in the net.wgdsr wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 6:29 pmummm... the entire ball.needs to cross the line. which means past any pipe also.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 6:21 pm I'd like an enhanced close up view in order to be 100% sure, but sure looks close to 100%.

and ya don't need to see enhanced. it hit the pipe. 100%.

Announced crowd today of 8,017. Of the 47 predetermined quarterfinal sites since 1996, this was the 29th largest crowd of the bunch.
Kind of makes you wonder what the attendance would have been at a true "southern" location for the teams that played today and having the Sunday teams play at Hofstra instead. Might have been better. Might not. Same thing happened in '99 with the "southern" QFs played at Princeton.flyerfan17 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 7:51 pmFor those 4 teams at Hofstra, on a beautiful day is not a good signAreaLax wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 6:41 pmFrom Patrick Steven’s twitterIt aint over yet wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 6:24 pm Attendance numbers for today’s game ?

Oh well. It’s over. It’s done. Virginia headed to Philly. Conrad should be 1st Team AA.

Frankly the offside and foot in the crease were nothing compared to the horrendous call at end. Should never have been called , or at least talked over with some discussion. Just the place ball bounced to should have given refs some doubt.
Really stupid to hold this game a few miles from the PGA Championship. It's a cool location, but Hofstra shouldn't have bid on this one.HowieT3 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 7:59 pmKind of makes you wonder what the attendance would have been at a true "southern" location for the teams that played today and having the Sunday teams play at Hofstra instead.

The ball rocked off the crossbar and went out of bounds near midfield, yes the net moved a little. There is no way a ball that crosses the line goes that far off the bounce. On TV it was a no brainer, live it should have been brainer. Absolutely the worst call I have ever seen in 40 years of watching the game.
