Classy programs understand that bad calls are part of the game.  Intelligent people understand you can't arbitrarily pick one call out of 1000 made during a game, identify it as bad and demand to have an outcome decided on the field to be reversed.

There was a bunch of bad calls on Saturday.  Some favored Syracuse.  Most did not.  I could argue that the blown PI call on Lemon cost Syracuse lead directly to costing Syracuse 7 points, for instance.  But I won't.

Respect the game.  Respect the rules.  Respect that officials are human and make mistakes.  Understand that good teams overcome bad calls and find a way to win.  Toledo had a great opportunity to win that game and was unable to do it.  They could have overcome a bad call but whether you can man enough to admit it or not, they didn't.  That is the difference between Syracuse and Toledo.  SU overcome a bunch of awful calls in that game to get a well deserved win.  Toledo did not.

Good luck in the rest of the season.  I have no respect for the Toledo AD, who is a laughingstock for what he has done, or for the Toledo fanbase, who did not come to a game only games away from campus.

But I have great respect for the Toledo players, who played very hard, as they have all season.  I wish them the best for the rest of the year.
