Stop whining, they lost. Nothing stops you from stopping them all the way down the field to score. If there was not a flag on the TD dive, that did not have anything to do with why they allowed Texas to score.

I'm not trying to make mountians. I assumed that it was a firendly wager and nothing more. There are times that we can take an opportunity to help each other out if we see some potential issues that, as individuals, we may not see in ourselves.

Right now, the microscope is on all officials. We need to ever be vigilant as to how we are viewed.

How about officials playing fantasy football? Granted that is the NFL level and most of us will never work at that level but it is another form of gambling. I'm not a fan of fantasy but this thought popped in my head when I read these comments.
