If Porter wanted to throw the flag because of the "holding" at the line of scrimmage, why didn't he throw his flag then? Why did he wait 3 full seconds after the play was over (And probably 5+ after the "holding" at the line) before he threw the flag?
That was a crap call that stole a national championship. I don't referee football, just basketball, but at least I can admit it when I think a basketball official on TV has kicked a call. Why can't football officials do the same?

We do point out mistakes WHEN THEY ARE MADE and if you spent any degree of time on our boards you would realize that. In fact, we do so so much that Referee magazine has even blasted us in a recent issue.
This is not a matter of ignoring a bad call, this is a matter of supporting a good call.
