Corrupt and paid off? No way.

Bad calls happen - don't know why the reviews turned out the way they did but corruption is completely improbable.

Hmmmm.
Funny how you said "improbable" but not "impossible".

I like your posts and I usually agree with you.
BUT I know your not ignorant enough to believe refs are above being corrupt? This is a big money business. Wherever there is money and power there is corruption.

Believe me, not trying to sound like a dick....but I'm in Tony's camp on this one. That NBA ref (can't remember his name) incident validates your point. On this one, though, I can't think of any motivation for this particular call to be intentionally botched.
I could be wrong, though. Who knows. It just pisses me off that it had to end that way.

the officials were not the only reason we lost that game (letting them drive 90 yards with 2 mins left), but if you think they have no role in us losing you're crazy,

1)booth review on a clearly dropped ball should have been 4th down and punt.... instead it was a catch and the next play was a TD for EWU

2)booth review last play.... you get my point

What's the value to a school for making the final 4 and a game on espn? What would a National Championship do for the program? An over passionate booster? Friend of a friend?

Believe me, I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy. Like I said, I'm not saying you ARE wrong. I like to keep an open mind. I just have a hunch that it (the call) is just the result of poor officiating and/or a shitty review and decision.

I prefer to label it imcompetent,or idiotic, or very stupid etc.. It's over and done with but I think the replay official deserves all of these labels, hell, he earned them. That said, it is correct that the game never should have gone to overtime. The lesser team won.

One of 3 possibilities. 1) incompatent refs 2) emotional ties 3)money or conspiricy

Until facts are revealed we need to assume its# 1 just poor refs. But do you put stupid refs in for a big game that has replay?

Aren't you talking about the same organization that used MEAC refs for the championship game a few years back? Wow, was that a cluster-f. Do not assume maliciousness when incompetence/idiocy is a valid alternative.
