Alamo and the Sun Belt

[parepat]

Lloyd Carr is an idiot. There was no need to call a time out to get the booth to review the second play. It was a change of possession and there was plenty of time for them to review the play. Now, if the snap became eminent then he could have called a timeout. He effectively wasted a timeout with his drama.

I don't believe he should get his timeout back because there was no misapplication of a rule. It is like a "question of fact vs. question of law" issue in the courtroom. He would only get the timeout back if it was a mistake of law (rule).

Lastly, anyone who thinks that there was no foul on the last play is crazy. There were 300 plus people on the field during the play (100 of which were players). For the crew to head for the hills was pure cowardice. Should have been offsetting penalties or first and goal at the five for Michigan with an untimed down.

Lastly, lastly... if this had to happen to someone, I'm glad it was Lloyd Carr who treats officials like rented mules.
