I would have to see it again. I thought he started his dive off of the left foot and then the right foot stepped out (or stayed in if you trust your eyes). But I'm not sure so I will go with what you said.
Which Fake Loss was Worse?

I’m going off memory too. I could be off also, just what has stuck in my craw since then. I was thinking the announcers were hitting that point.
It would be your clear misinterpretation of the rules that isn’t “confusing”, but erroneous. The bars are considered “out of bounds” primarily in the case of a pass (or more unlikely, lateral or fumble) hitting the goal post. Then the ball is dead from that point. A receiver or defender can’t complete the play.
it’s blatantly obvious that rule doesn’t apply to field goals the way you’re applying it—because the ball would be dead the moment it touched the crossbar or uprights (out of bounds), and which direction it bounced would be irrelevant.
That would be like saying that a fumble or punt that touched the sideline but bounced back into the field was still in play. You’re trying to apply something where it’s not intended to be.
Trying to stick a square peg into a round hole. Not least, considering a ball above the uprights isn’t touching out of bounds at all.
Both these games are truly painful to revisit.
The KSU game was totally fixed. You cannot explain all of those calls going the way they did. The refs indeed handed the victory over to the Vampire. I am so glad that relic finally retired.

The fix was definitely in. I don't say that lightly, either. There really is no other possible explanation. Man, ISU has been on the wrong end of so many screw jobs that it boggles the mind. Don't even get me started on our self inflicted wounds!
In that game KU's 7' center committed his 5th foul with about a minute left but the official called the foul on a player who was 6 feet from the play. That center is the one who tipped the missed shot to the KU player with George's on the ground.
Yeah it was all too much to believe just a massive amount of horrible lopsided calls agains home team for no reason. A few of them of the totally ridiculous nature. Really KU choked in terms of how they played on the court, they had several rather easy shots to win a real game and clanked them all, needed refs to invent all sorts of nonsense to get it to overtime.
I bring it up every time but I was more mad about Withey being allowed to stay in the game after such an obvious foul on him.
