Another WTF?! Moment: Pac-10 Officials Got it Right

That. Was. Correct, according to the Pac-10.

What? Are you kidding? Okay, so it's what the rules say. I'll give you that. Maybe, if the referees always called it the way it says in the rule book, then I'd be okay with that. But refs interpret things so wildly sometimes that to say that it seems pretty cut and dry is absurd. And, every decision a referee makes in any sport is a judgment call. Every decision.

I'll complain about the refs, because it's always easy to. But what needs to be done is to change the rule. It takes the fun and the emotion out of college football. The reason why Jake Locker threw that ball high into the air is because he was excited. He wasn't trying to shove it in BYU's face. He wasn't trying to show them up.

He was excited because his team was a extra point away from tying the game against what used to be the No. 15 team in the country.

And the thing is, the head of the national referee association said that "I think it's safe to say on emotional moments officials might become a little more lenient."

There. Even the NCAA thinks that the judgment call the ref made could have taken into account all the circumstances.

For a team that could have had its marquee win of the season, that might have saved its coach's job, the leader of the team, the quarterback Locker, couldn't express the joy and the emotional high of the situation.

That's not "teaching principles of class and integrity" as the BYU coach said. That's teaching conformity and the institute of the mundane.

And that should go no where near college football or even socity.
