all in pain and just as frustrated...

First off, I apologize for calling posters out by name in the heat
of the aftermath of last night's debacle.
For the record, in response to Stacy's question about a particular
call, I took the opportunity to bash the ACC crew that worked the
game for being, on occasion, what I felt, and still feel to
be,unfair to the Gators. My memory of the ACC crew that worked the
swindle in the swamp in 2003 is still bitter.
That opinion was ridiculed (but I wasn't called out by name) for
"putting a modicum of blame(for the loss) at the feet of the
officials". I had explicitly stated that we were so bad that the
semis didn't need their help to win the game.
In my opinion, that doesn't exonerate the crew for their blatant
errors - even if, as was pointed out, the "roughing the snapper"
penalty call was correct - I still don't ever recall it being called
that before, maybe it falls under a bigger umbrella of "personal
foul". From a conference whose referee once called a foul "giving
him the business" I suppose anything is possible.
I'll address my opinions on the mess that was/is this miserable
football season in a separate post.
Again, I apologize for my post game indiscretion.
