I know we shot ourselves in the foot too many times but the refs were just making me feel like the fix was in today. The following things were just too strange to be considered coincidence.
1. The initial call on the overturn of the Davis catch was just an awful initial call. AWFUL!
2. The Bullock TD was obvious, the guy was 2 feet past the plane of the goal.
3. The only ref that threw a flag on Pitt was the Back judge (ALL 4! from the B)
4. So many obvious holding calls the Back judge finally had to make the KMM call although he was out of position and it wasn't his call to make, he finally said just f you guys that is obvious. We lose without this call, and the guy threw the flag 30 yards and it still landed 10 yards short of the spot.
5. The holding on the kickoff they tried to pull the wool over kirk's eyes like he wouldnt notice they enforced it from the end of the run and not the spot of the foul. I mean come on your telling me that if that runback went for a TouchDown then they get the ball on the ten, thats BLATANT! It was a 14 yard difference!
Just, wow, WOW, for those officials! Ill call it a bad day because im a good sport but for everyone but the back judge they need to ask themselves if they really did everything they could to keep it fair. FOR PEET'S SAKE PITT ran the pick play on the umpire about 4-5 times and the guy gave a forearm shiver to morris at least twice, trying to protect himself? Maaaaaaaybe.
