Sorry, I don't buy that load of dung...  You got stuck with SWC officials
for that game.  They enforce that rule in the SWC.  We have had it called
on us a time or two..  Also, they call delay of game for semi-spiking the
ball after big plays that don't go all the way to the endzone.  The referee
was correct in his call.  Miami and Alabama probably should have been a
little more careful, especially with referees that they aren't familiar 
with.

cmuck (glad that 'Bama won, mind you)
