Wow! Wait a cotton pickin minute. If the play to which you refer is the Miami OSU championship game of 2002 then I must object. The call which I believe you refer to went against Miami and therefore the threats were from Miami fans. OSU should not even have been mentioned in your post.

The reason I point that out is that our star running back from that team got sentenced to a 7.5 year stretch in the pokey and the reputation of THE Ohio State Univ. has enough problems to deal with without you piling on!

Having read the explanation of the replay official I have no problem with his call.

However.....

Not much has been said of the PAC 10 insisting that their officials work the games hosted by PAC 10 teams against non-conference opponents. Almost every other conference has a rule that the traveling team provides the officials. I'm not sure if it would have made a difference in this case but I think it makes the PAC 10 look bad to the regular fans.

It wasn't my intention to pick on The Ohio State University...to be completely honest, I forgot who lost to OSU in that game (I knew it was one of the Florida schools, but not which one) and I was just too lazy to Google.

Although my wife (the Penn State alumn) really, really dislikes the school...I have no gripe against them at all...so my apologies for implying anything bad about OSU.

The referee is scheduled to work this week (USC-Arizona)...and of course, the media is making a big deal out of it.

This poor guy is probably one of the least culpabe for what happened at Oregon yet he is going to be under a HUGE microscope this weekend. I wish him well.
