Actually Soulman, I am both an alumnus and booster, and I am also son of a Florida graduate. I chose to attend FSU, frankly because I have always been somewhat rebellious (I was accepted to both schools.) The officiating was bad, no dispute here. But what should really concern UF backers is the 4th and 14 conversion, as well as a cornerback allowing our wideout to get behind him when we needed a touchdown to win. You being a self proclaimed UM alumnus can probably identify with this (hint, last years national title game-all we heard was refs,refs,refs, nobody from UM gave OSU props for making clutch plays.)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
That's true, the refs were bad in the OSU game. Clarrett stripped the ball from Vilma and the game turned. However, I have been watching football for years and years. There was at the very least a 21 point swing in that game because of the calls. I guess when Channing Crowder was in possesion of something other than the ball when he walked out from the 3 yard line with that something else. Big games a lot of times come down to breaks and UF forced them but had them stolen away. I still believe the ACC and NCAA owe UF a public apology. Not to mention, Head referee Jack Childres is an FSU grad. Peace
