Refs did the right thing

They also (at least used to) stay in the Georgia Terrace Hotel if you ever want to ask them a question after a game. I ended up riding the elevator with one of them after a game years back where we got a crap call that changed the outcome. I told the ref he was an asshole as I got off the elevator.
 
Pathetic officiating. The roughing penalty on 32 for GT was a S#!T call. The PI call sucked too, there is no such thing as face guarding in college football and the Tech DB did not make contact with the receiver prior to the ball arriving. The hands to the face was the correct call but a couple of plays later a Duke OL could have been called for the same penalty but miraculously the officials missed it. Duke high/lowed Sims on the injury and no flag came out. Finally, the flag on Duke on the OT drive was the correct call, you cannot block past the LOS when the ball is in the air. Two final notes, Sims needs to run the clock down to less than 5 seconds prior to snaps when trying to protect lead and we have to find 2 OL than can block better than 81 and 72.

It is like everyone in the stadium, when we were up 14 with 7 minutes left, were sitting there seeing the beginning of the implosion that our staff apparently wasn't paying attention to. How are you hiking the ball with 15-20 seconds on the play clock with a running game clock up 14 with 7~ish minutes left in the game? We shouldn't have even been approaching the LOS until 10 seconds on the play clock. Frustrating.

The ref who called the roughing shouldn't have a job as a referee any more because of the BS roughing call. The call was made even worse when Sims got cheap shotted in OT and the refs intentionally looked the other way.
 
As to the elevator example, that is why the refs stink. Who wants that job.

key’s end of game management stinks.

The refs stunk but we tried to give the game away. And when teams bring six on every down we have to come up with a simple te or rb pass to counter. Otherwise go under center and bulldoze ahead. Losing yards is dumb.
 
I didn't record the game, so I can't go back and watch it now, unless they show a replay of it, but one of my friends in the stadium said that on that roughing BS call, the ref didn't throw the flag until the Duke QB whined about it, and that a good 20 seconds had elapsed before he actually threw it. Can anyone either confirm or deny that?

I know he threw the ööööing thing from 20 yards away.

Correct, that was my take as well

Correct. But it looked like they spotted the ball for a first when it should have been 4th and 1 early in the drive

I know exactly the play you're thinking about. If they had reviewed the spot, it is 4th and 1. The ööööing chain gang I think stated moving the chains before the first down was even signaled, ööööing crooked ACC

20 seconds? Nah.

They do and they usually hustle out of the stadium. Last night, 2 of the refs headed toward the exit and stopped on the field with a bunch of people around them. One of them stood there pointing for about 5 seconds and saying something. I figured someone said something to them but I'm just speculating.

WE HAD TO PROTECT THE SLOW WHITE QB FOR DUKE TO KEEP THINGS FAIR

Stopping and engaging people after a game like that, regardless of what was said, is a really ööööing stupid idea. So of course two dipshits in ACC stripes would do exactly that. The egos those guys have - which are 100% encouraged and reinforced by their occupation - are ööööing staggering. They know that they can do anything they want on the field because instead of accountability, they have an audience and incentive to both cheat and generate controversy. Why would they call things fairly? The only people who ever actually want that are the fans of the two teams playing, and they're okay with about half the incompetence/corruption they see.

Still hoping someone with a camera can trick TV Teddy into jumping off a bridge for attention.
 
The lapse was not twenty seconds, but the ref watched the play in real time with no flag, the QB rolled around as if injured and the flag came late, say five seconds. Of course the QB jumped right up and did not miss a play. Then, in OT Sims gets hit late, there is no immediate call, and no late call when in fact he was injured on the play. The moving of the chains when Duke was clearly short and it should have been fourth down was awful. Refs do that too much today - quickly moving the chains at a glance without taking close looks and measuring. If I have to sit through three minute timeouts for media, I can wait for the refs to get first down calls correctly. Finally, the ref monitoring line play on the final drive might should have looked for holding instead of locking in on whether or not he could give Duke 15 with a hands to the face call. Their right tackle, #55, held egregiously on at least four downs in that drive.

People have made comparisons to WWE and unfortunately this will only grow more fitting in time. When a new viewer asks "why do the refs just do whatever they want sometimes and get very strict other times" and we'll have to tell them it's just part of the show, like a slow three count.

I was there and was watching the Qb although my eyes quickly averted to the ref for some reason after the hit. Granted, I didn’t watch the QB after got hit but there was a delay in throwing the flag. The ref obviously was pondering whether to throw it or not but after a couple of seconds the flag was being thrown.
