If the officials had called a T in this situation it would have been all that the sportscasters, sportswriters, fans, coaches, and anyone else talked about all this week. And it would not have been talk *praising* the officials for making a tough call!

Instead, using sound judgment and common-sense, by NOT calling the tech in a situation that did NOT clearly warrant it, we ended up with arguably the best national championship game in the last ten years -- one of the best of all time.

Sometimes we have to take a step back from being 2 inches from the rule book to understand the game and the context in which things happen. No play happens in a vacuum.
