There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it was fumble directly related to Doe's "showboating". I believed it when I saw it live, I believed it when I saw the replay live, and I believe it now. For whatever reason you want to lay blame, IMMHO, the refs blew the call. I am grateful to the football gods for allowing the Gators this good fortune. I believe Doe's antics are indeed reminders of SCUM teams of the past and it makes my skin crawl to see one of my beloved Gators behave in this manner. Shane is not the only member of the "old school" philosophy, unfortunately I, too, am an analog man living a digital world when it comes to the proper decorum on a football field. I am also reminded that you can't always get what you want. And while I certainly think that Doe should and will be punished for his behavior, I truly believe that my opinion would not be greeted with universal acceptance anymore than anyone else's would. Therefore, I am more than willing to let Meyer make the call, since that what he gets paid for anyway.

If Dustin had tucked that ball the way he is supposed to and waited until after he crossed the goal line to relax/show off, we wouldn't be having this conversation. We might be having one about the 15 yard penalty he might have gotten for celebrating, but his touchdown would not be in question.

And I STILL maintain his "showboating" is the whole reason we're arguing about this three days after the game. Hope he learns from this.

I'm glad that we got the call. I don't think that you can extrapolate that if it had been reversed that we would have been in danger of losing. My orange and blue glasses have lenses as thick as anyone's, but there's no way that I can conclude that we didn't get away with one in that instance. --- On Tue, 10/27/09, Oliver Barry <[email protected]> wrote: Both of you are completely missing Jerry’s point. There was no camera on the goal line. Therefore, the angle is suspect even with the “synched” shot of the ball apparently out of Doe’s grasp as he crossed the goal line. No, the officials didn’t have that technology available. Nor does it prove anything. As it is, Doe was credited with a touchdown. If that’s bad, I’ll volunteer to go run stadium steps with him. (yet another way to blow off steam along with bull dozing and blowing things up!) Let’s give the kid a break here.</TABLE<BR<BR --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
