    Sent from Win8 phone on a bullet train from Hillsboro.
    yeah the device was prolly for communicating plays/assignments

    Not allowed under NCAA rules. It is more than likely the tracking thing brought up last year.

And no one is saying it was a blatantly bad call. Some of us just wish that the judgment call had gone our way.

    And technically, I think the review official determined that "the call on the field stands," not that "the call on the field was confirmed."

    P.S. Do you argue this hard for the refs after a call goes against you?
    The answer to your P.S. Is Yes.

    I recall a targeting call against one of our dbacks (Shepard?) that I agreed with and most fellow fans didn't. Basically the same arguments about intent etc.

    And I don't think the review was really in doubt. He hit the defenseless receiver in the head/neck. Intent and shoulder contact shouldn't matter based on how the game is being officiated.
