When his player was downed at the 1 yard line, he was arguing the spot instead of taking care of the next play.

I agree. Lloyd Carr is the reason I enjoy seeing Michigan lose. His history with officials is terrible. I'm going on memory here, but didn't he go nuts over the SWC crew at his bowl game last year? and I also believe he was instrumental in the firing of a good Big Ten official because he only has one eye. Jim Tressel shows class on the sideline. Carr comes off as a whiner blaming the officials for every misfortune his team suffers. Quite a contrast.

Congrats to the crew on a great game and kudos to the H for maintaining his cool with an idiot in his ear the whole game. He looked as calm as if he was strolling through the park on a Sunday morning.
