So I just watched the highlights on Talkin' Football

It looked bad from the camera angle that we had on TV, but that doesn't mean it looked that way from the angle the official had on the field.

The guy made the correct call and you're bitching about him not making the wrong one?

No, I'm bitching about them obviously being unable to make the correct calls over the course of the game.

BTW, which official was watching the spot of the ball on that play? I guess you can say he made the correct call, too - right?

The refs were letting a lot of holding pass. But they were (not) calling it the same both ways. BC capitalized on it. We didn't.

This is not true.

Witness late in the game when the LDE slips and falls and AJ keeps perfect position, arms tucked in the whole time. They called holding on us to kill our last chance.

But it was the field judge that was intentionally jobbing us.

Do fans at every school believe this about every loss(and even 33-3 crushings of Notre Dame), or is it just our fanbase? Any theories on WHY exactly every single ref in the world wants us to lose, and we've never had a favorable reffing job?

I would say that is your cognitive dissonance.

Certainly Al Ford is not Out To Get Us, and (almost) every Tech fan knows we got a gift there. If we traded it for the robbery of phantom interference in '97, 2 injustices would be erased and yet the karmic balance would still be the same.
