Ref from Fla.-Ark. game admits mistake

<span style="font-weight: bold;">"I saw out of the corner of my eye -- the play went over near the sideline," Curles recalls. "I'm trailing the play, moving in that direction. And out of the corner of my eye, I see a vicious blow, and I see the Florida player go flying down 20 yards behind the play. And in my mind, the Arkansas guy had blindsided him and knocked the player that was completely out of the play, which would have been a personal foul. Obviously, that isn't what happened. Where I made the mistake is I didn't see the whole thing. I didn't see how it developed. I saw out of the corner of my eye what I thought was a foul. I can't</span> <font size="6"><em style="font-weight: bold;">think[/i]</font> <span style="font-weight: bold;">something is a foul. I got to know it is. And that was my mistake.
Just what I said the other day on another forum.

...why can't a group of rational, grown men come together after the play and say "You realize that this single call could potentially decide the outcome of this game. Are you SURE that it was a personal foul? 100% that it is deserving of an automatic 1st down in the red zone, in the fourth quarter?" I think if this happens, it allows the ref to maybe step back and calm down and make a rational decision.
Also, as a poster said in another thread, I think personal foul calls need to be reviewable. If they were, these assclowns most likely wouldn't be suspended right now.

these are the types of penalties that should be absolutely obvious. No thinking, no anything required. Only call them if they are so blatantly obvious, no one can disagree.
Its not like they are protecting people. Players get hit like this every single play. Tebow didn't get hurt on a late hit..he got hurt on a legal hit. So quit changing the outcome of the game by making grey area calls under the guise of protecting players.
All I can think of is when Pegues got hit with a late hit penalty in Lexington 2 years ago and the replay showed that the KY player didn't have a single foot out of bounds.

The crew that worked our game against UK 2 years ago where Pegues got the phantom late hit penalty is the same crew that got suspended. Apparently this crew has a hard on for calling bogus personal foul penalties. Been going on for years.
I don't think ANYTHING should be taken off the table. Some things shouldn't be challengeable, but if the ref thinks he may have screwed up and he wants to see a replay to be sure why in the hell would we deny that?BCash said:
that personal fouls, excessive celebrations and the like are still all SUBJECTIVE calls but yet on a BLACK and WHITE bad call that should have been reversible (if the SEC replay ref hadn't been asleep) on our "illegal forward pass" call in the Houston game (LOS 29 with QB's feet both squarely behind that on the 30) we can't even get the freakin' head of the SEC refs to admit that a bogus call was made. Heck, I don't even care if we get an apology but I just hate the whole stinking system when a call is so wrong its not even disputable yet we can't even get anyone from the SEC to even admit it when asked.

The crew that did our game with Houston should not only have been suspended, they should never, ever be allowed to step foot on a football field again.
That's what pisses me off, the Houston crew had nothing done to them.
