it is an absolute crime. Officials are still botching calls.

In the Fl/Aub game, Chris Leaks arm is moving forward and the ball comes out. Ruled a fumble on the field. For a second, let's rewind back to thurs's game between BC/Va Tech. Tech's Glennon has the same thing happen. A fumble is ruled on the field, Beamer challenges and replay showed is arm moving forward, thus overturning the call. Here's the caveat. Kirk Herbstreit doing the BC/Vatech broadcast mentions on the air that he spoke to an official and was told if any part of the arm is going forward, it's an incomplete pass. Urban Meyer challenged based on that presumption and still lost. Every replay angle showed Leak's arm moving forward. Why in one game, where the exact same play occured, do we have two different outcomes???


Why have the dam thing if the booth is gonna blow the call, even if the play is slowed down to a micro second???

Frustrating....and yes I had FL...

Bad result for Florida but that is what happens when you leave it up to the officials to make the call. On that third down play the Gators were in great field goal position and they blew it. The next offensive play Leak forced a pass in the middle of the field which was intercepted.

The officials knew that if they overturned the call, they weren't getting out of the stadium alive.....

I don't like not having replay count, but TV audience seeing it. Take baseball, common play... ground ball, close play at first... sometimes ump gets it wrong, but Jeez the zebra can't see a slo-mo replay 10 times... he sees it once, live !
