Well I tried. I honestly felt by posting that one word- I could get '25 to say "Blue". He is the board resident contrarian after all.

That's like me calling you a giant crybaby for whining about the refs. The refs didn't screw up either game. Akron wasted time before the review was called in their game and they got off all 4 downs including a chance to run it on 3rd down because they had a timeout anyway. And they didn't cheat us either. We got tackled short of the first down mark and didn't have enough time left for another play. Accept the loss and move on.

25,
My statement had nothing to do w/ whining about the outcome of either game. It was merely the irony of Akron fans feeling ripped off by the home refs in the Michigan game. That was the same reaction that many on our board had, as well as that of our coach, after our game w/ Akron, hence the karma comment. And the icing on the cake for their fans was that group officials falls under the same umbrella as those that did our game w/ them- even more karma.

As far as the time taken off the clock, reviews, ball placement, pass interference ( or lack of )- all is subject to interpretation. Most on these boards somehow manage to offer their views w/o a sanctimonious declaration that everyone else is stupid or wrong.

This is the first non profanity-laced post I've seen from you since you began posting. There was the implication that OldDawg is a crybaby, but no cursing. I see improvement. Baby steps.
