Don't shoot the messenger - but the message is -
 
It was reported by Meyer that he was not going to punish Doe - but have a talk with him ...

Agree 100%...I personally would be satisfied to see an announcement saying he is going to not play the first quarter of the dawgs game...at the least!

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it was fumble directly related

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.

I agree with Steve AND Randy.  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.

Agreed. 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.

It wasn't overturnable(?) as I said, but there is no doubt in my mind that
if those two shots were indeed taken at the same time, that the ball came
out of his hands before he had a chance to carry it over the line.

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.

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
