You're welcome, but I didn't know I was necessarily agreeing with you though. The refs are doing an awful job (including the ref in the booth who didn't call for a review of that lateral).

I guess it's a question of semantics: is the man in the booth a ref or an official?

He's part of the officiating crew, and he blew it big time.

The old guy announcer has to go, time to hang it up.

He did. His "first last game" was the 1999 Fiesta Bowl between FSU and Tennessee. Yet despite his much ballyhooed retirement, he won't go away.

Frankly, I always thought he was a Big Ten partisan, but that is who his network covered.

USC should have challenged the play.

They don't have the choice. How can the refs not call for a replay, when it would have been shown on instant replay on the big screen TV at the stadium?

"Ohio State didn't play Illinois in 2002..." No, but the refs showed up anyway, and they REALLY sucked.

I wondered what was up with that. He yelled it's good while the refs were waving it off.

"What's partisan about saying Young was already down? \"

Nothing.
Why, did I say it was?

Every OTHER word out of the broadcast booth is shameless shilling for the "discombobulated" team, though.

"They NEVER fumble."
"Oops, USC just fumbled!"

"Leinhart NEVER throws interceptions."
"Oops, Leinhart just threw an interception!"

Ad nauseum.
