its nearly unwatchable. i sure wish someone would get ahold of this situation and get it coreected.
Gerry has lost the equivalent of one football game because of this crap, but officials can't see a simple face ask or blatant pick play. Complete bs.
Welcome to the wussification of sports and society in general.

I have an honest question. Are the officials (including replay) aftaid of getting sued in the future? This is only going to get more ridiculous going forward.
Should coaches recruit a team full of blind players, that way they would be considered defenseless. 15 yard penalty on every play.
When Mark May agrees it's a bad call agai st Nebraska, you know you f'ed up the call
who knows, but how can they be sued its after the fact? its just a reaction to the incident.
Football sucks anymore. I can hardly watch the NFL anymore and college is getting as bad. Start taking out their knees

I am sure the lawyers will go after anybody and everybody. Hell, I go through all the required training for coaching midget, and have every practice where we teach tackling taped. I have kept every bit of it. This makes me want to totally give up.
I can understand missing the call as it happened on the field - it's a "bang-bang" thing...but to have the freakin' replay official fail to overturn the call is absurd. Complete failure by the replay booth.
Actually a good point. Have to wonder if that's in some back room discussions because that call was complete crap. If this one makes them rethink that whole thought process and they change the rule somehow, then it will be worth it. Doubt it will happen but something has to change this offseason!!!

I am not mad, I am embarassed for the sport. If it isn't completely obvious by now, the real athletes should play baseball or basketball where the real money is.

I am sticking with he is scared of being sued in the future. Lawyers are by-in-large pieces of crap. They will do anything for a dollar.

Nah. It is called volunteering. You should try it instead of crying about pants color 1000s of times.

I hope for those kids well being, they always wore the same uniforms every year.
The refs aren't worried about being sued. They might be worried about keeping their jobs since their employers are definitely at risk. As for a single official or incident - pretty hard to tie a neurodegenerative disease which probably won't be fully understood in our lifetimes to it. Further, throwing a flag, after the fact, has no impact on whether impact causes neurologic damage. Absolutely impossible for refs to be implicated in this.

After all my complaining... I will take another corner on the field vs. UCLA. Their open-field tackling can't be much worse.
The NCAA is to busy having their heads up their asses.
terrible call, thought the Iowa game call against Gerry was bad, nope this takes the cake..terrible
