I think the problem in the PAC can be fixed, we just need to acknowledge that we have one, and get after it. JRutledge concludes that the problem will never be solved because it is 100% the fault of the fans, and that they're all alike, and can't be fixed. zebraman's opinion is even simpler, almost timeless: "I'm a fanatic, I'm biased, and I'm wrong".

First of all, drop one of those damn post please.
Do not put words into my mouth about what I think about officiating. I know that you are a fan, probably never officiated anything in your life. Probably never read a rulebook extensively or seen one at all. As far as I am concerned, there is no problem. The problem is that guys like you come here to be critical of an entire conference, without any knowledge of what they do to begin with. All you are saying is that they are bad. No discription of a play or calls they they make that are wrong. If you think the state of the Pac-10 is so bad, become an official and do something about it. It is so easy, then there is an easy way to solve the problem.
It is really easy to sit on the sidelines and complain. But when I told you about my experience sitting in the stands during the Big Ten Championship, most fans think the officials are against their team. They all think they are horrible. They all think it hurts the league. And they all think "over the back" is a foul. Enough said.
Peace
