Everyone loses their coordinates now and then...ask Randoo. Now that the discussion is over, I agree that the game was called 'slightly' in favor of FSU. An example would be the 'face mask call' that was nothing but a dragging of a hand across the top of the helmet. But, with our level of play the refs would have had to start frequently running into and tripping the FSU players to give us a chance. A.

For the record, in response to Stacy's question about a particular call, I took the opportunity to bash the ACC crew that worked the game for being, on occasion, what I felt, and still feel to be,unfair to the Gators. My memory of the ACC crew that worked the swindle in the swamp in 2003 is still bitter. That opinion was ridiculed (but I wasn't called out by name) for "putting a modicum of blame(for the loss) at the feet of the officials". I had explicitly stated that we were so bad that the semis didn't need their help to win the game. In my opinion, that doesn't exonerate the crew for their blatant errors - even if, as was pointed out, the "roughing the snapper" penalty call was correct - I still don't ever recall it being called that before, maybe it falls under a bigger umbrella of "personal foul". From a conference whose referee once called a foul "giving him the business" I suppose anything is possible. I'll address my opinions on the mess that was/is this miserable football season in a separate post. Again, I apologize for my post game indiscretion.
