Sorry, but I'm old school and this replay stuff if starting to go the way of the NFL.

Anyone else think this decision took way to long? I saw the play live and saw the 2 replays and was convinced that it was correctly called, except for the foul. The "C" signaled just as folks said and that should have been it! Burr should have simply asked the "C" was it a three, and went with that after two inconclusive replays. I thought it wore on way to long.

As for the call/no call. Let's just say that if the clock was at the 15 minute mark of the second half, I doubt it would have been passed on. I think it would have been called. But, as the coaches want it, and as the announcers say it, "let the players decide the game" and I guess they did just that. My only beef is that if it were way earlier in the half, it probably would have been called. FWIW, all the games contained way to much contact that wasn't being called, and poor WVU got the worse of Louisville's thuggery.

Other than that, KUDO's to the "C" for picking this attempt up when it left his hands. He was in great position and signaled what He saw and should get an atta-boy for that one.

I think instant replay is a great idea, often we have games decided by a last second shot. If it takes 5 minutes to decide on who wins/loses then lets do it.
