Hate to hear that being a former ref myself, its a tough job.

Didn't they spend like nine minutes reviewing that......

If the ACC wants to make a real statement, it should say something to this effect:

Quote:After further review, it is determined that the final score of last night's game was Duke 27, Miami 24. The alleged touchdown awarded to Miami after the game ended was given to Miami in error, and is not recognized in the record books of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Duke's record on the season is 7-1. Miami's record on the season is 4-4.

Until some statement to that effect is forthcoming, the ACC has made itself a laughingstock with amateur/incompetent officiating at its games.

Maybe this will result in some real changes as to officiating and the way situations like this will be handled in the future. But, I won't hold me breath.

And they still got it wrong.

What's that phrase: "live by the sword, die by the sword"? Duke got a gift call in their game against BC when a BC TD pass was ruled incomplete. That call changed the game as a BC TD the would have been the difference in a 10-6 game.

That travesty yesterday wasn't the first officiating screw-up in the ACC this year...even after employing video review.

IMO, the ACC has a problem with the the quality of its overall officiating operation that it is going to need to address.

Yeah, good luck with that.

I hear you. I said they "need" to address it, but I share your apparent concern that they ever will!

It's the ACC. When the refs make a bad call that helps Duke or UNC to win, don't the officials get a raise instead of a reprimand?

Classy!

Still, I have to give them something of a pass; what are they supposed to say?

Of course if shoddy officiating can be used to remove points, the final score would be Miami 24, duke 19. Duke's last TD was aided by three bad pass interference calls on the previous drive.

Heck, they got numerous gift calls on the drive they took the lead over Miami in last night's game.

Edit: Adcorbett beat me to it.

I watched that game last night with a bunch of friends/neighbors at a post trick-or-treat party. Truthfully, we were mostly watching all kinds of games looking for something of interest and talking about it.

Nobody at the party had any allegiance whatsoever to either Duke or Miami and many of the people there could not care less about college football or the ACC. In fact, while we were watching the fourth quarter of Duke/Miami, a lot of people were whining that they wanted to watch one of the hockey games on TV or the World Series. However, the Duke/Miami game was the most interesting game on at the time, so we stuck with that.

The reason I give you that as a backdrop is that as we were watching the fourth quarter of the Duke/Miami, the overwhelming sentiment in the room - and I agreed with it, BTW - was that Miami was being hosed by the officials. There were a number of questionable calls that went against the Hurricanes in that fourth quarter.

For example, on the play before the infamous multi-lateral play, I don't believe that Sirk scored. I believe he was stopped short of the goal line. Also, had that play been called correctly, the clock would've expired and they would've lost anyway.

Everyone else about party seemed to agree with that assessment. Again, at the very least, that play should have received a very thorough replay review. Also, how can there not be goal line cameras in every stadium these days? Those types of plays only come up during every single game.

There was a phantom facemask called against Miami. There was at least one questionable defensive pass interference personal call against the Hurricanes.

It really did feel a little crooked. At the very least, it felt highly incompetent.

That's why I think it is ironic that the officials and the game itself will be most remembered for a bad call that went in Miami's favor. That was very much out of the norm for that game.

There have been lots of questionable calls, non calls in ACC games in the past couple of years that changed the outcome, or could have, if called correctly. Maybe it would benefit the ACC to Hire better Referees in the Future . But I guess this happens a lot in other conferences too.

Miami was hosed down for an ACC-record 23 penalties (!!!) so they deserved a few breaks on the last play.

I can't remember who it was against but last year Pitt played in an ACC game in which five or six different calls went to the replay booth and the replay booth official, Rosie Amato, the brother of former NC State coach Chuck Amato, was literally and clearly wrong on every single one of them.

Some of the calls went the Panthers' way and other calls went for the other team, but all of the calls were wrong.

I sit with 16 other friends/family and we were laughing during every replay delay and predicting the call based on what would be the most absurd result. Amazingly, good old Rosie was right with us on every single one – except he was serious and his rulings were binding.

For years, ACC fans have complained that the officiating is biased towards Tobacco Road schools. I'm not sure if that's the case as much as it is the case that the officiating in the ACC is unbelievably poor.

Rosie was an on-field official when his brother was coaching at NC State. Twice in the same year he mysteriously couldn't get out of the way of Clemson players with a large expanse of open grass in front of them.
