but you can't honestly sit there and say something akin to 'win some lose some' on those outlandish calls, can you?!

Actually, yes. That plus the fact that I actually agree with the refs' decision to pick up the flag 2 years ago on that last drive. You can look up my post about it for the details.....everyone's got a right to their opinion - and mine just happens not to be very popular here.

I do think that the extra point penalty from 4 years ago was bush league and unfortunate - for what it's worth.

And in terms of fair is fair.....I saw over and over again on the replay from LSU's game-winning drive last year that the line judge moved the ball forward on an LSU spot a foot or so while he was holding the ball waiting for the sticks to be brought out for the measurement after a 3rd down (see the tape for yourself). Could I speculate on why that happened? Of course. Maybe that line judge had some kind of tie-in to LSU or Baton Rouge politics? Perhaps. Did that first down give LSU the break it needed to make that miracle play a minute later? Quite possibly. But that's life.

So you do in fact win some and lose some on calls.
