Why no response to the call should not be tolerated

This was a REVIEWED call. It was a fast play, and Peterson sorta snatched it. I don't think someone could be faulted for missing the call initially.
But, what is so disturbing to me is that the review seemed to be a no brainer. There seems to be no question that he possessed the ball, and had 1-2 feet in. Apparantly, the SEC saw it differently. What is so frustrating is that it wasn't bobbled, and his foot didn't seem almost out. No, it seemed clearly in. You now know the divot theory and all that.
So, if they reviewed a call that clearly remains in contrast to public opinion on the call, a detailed explanation is in order here.
Missing the call on the field. Forgivable. Missing this call on the review--without credible explanation--intolerable.
As for Miles, I think he has a duty to his players, his school, and his fans to clear this up.
Regardless of its impact on the outcome, I thik Peterson was denied credit for an exceptional pick.
Rant on.

It will only get worse unless it's addressed in a public way.

I hope the staff is doing this the right way. They should make an official complaint, not through the media, and it will be answered.

Sometimes a review remains inconclusive, that just did not seem to be th case here. Why in the world was it NOT considered a pick following review?
This conference has an obligation to let us know if they want future credibility, particularly in context of the other recent calls! This call isn't rocket science!

Miles already addressed it through the proper channels. It's up to Slive to report the findings to the fans. I think it's his duty to do so. I faxed him this evening, not that it will do much good. Wish some other folks would join in. I simply told him that Les did the "right" thing according to the SEC rules and we now know the SEC office responded. What we don't know is what was concluded. If they commish thinks it was the right call, we deserve to know why. If not, we deserve an apology, at the very least.

Yet another report on the call. Slive needs to answer that.
