Scott - I sure as hell don't share that opinion. I've done a lot of
officiating (no football) and everyone I knew tried their best to call
a good game. The idea of having crews work together is a good one.
I was at the game and did BITCH like hell on the initial runback when
two clips near the 20 took place right in front of me and no flag.
But , I also saw the generous spot when Torreta on 3rd and 12 ran and
slid 3 yards. The officials gave him 2 of the 3 and Miami got the 1st.
I would have been pissed if I were a Nole fan and that happened right
in front of the Nole bench. Over time the calls work out and we've got
to remember that IT'S JUST A GAME.
I'll be at the Penn.St game Sat. and am looking forward to the Monday
post on the mythical plan for P$U to be NC's. Canes by 14   :-)
