saying “we wuz robbed” is a time-honored tradition in sports. Every sport that has officials or refs and involves individual interpretation is a sport where those refs and officials are going to make bad calls. And fans are not going to be happy about it.

Syracuse-Notre Dame 1961 is why so many of us old timers have always rooted against ND…well, one of many reasons anyway. On the other hand, we tend to forget the ones that go our way, like the extra point that was actually no good against Toledo in OT ten years ago. We also selectively become blind when it comes to things that weren’t called against us. Just say the name “Marvin Graves” to a WVU fan if you re looking for a fun reaction.

Does it suck? Of course it does, but it comes with the territory in a sport where players, coaches, and yes, refs are imperfect. There are evaluations and sometimes consequences even if they are not apparent to fans. Beyond that, unless every play is going to have a video replay then sometimes mistakes will be made and sometimes we are going to get screwed. You and I may not be happy about it but it is the nature of the beast.
