Something has to be done

about officiating. Of course I am a homer, but it is sooo evident when neutral announcers are stunned by absolute bogus calls or non calls. There were so many in the last 3:31. (I don't recall when they gave them the touchdown when it should have been 4th down.)
I guess the league just wanted to do everything it could to protect its highest ranked team. That, or these part time refs were in fear for their lives in Hicksburg. There is no way these people thought they called a fair game.

Congratulations Clemson! You may be the next contestant on "Ref in Your Pocket".

We would have beaten these punks by 25. Congratulations JACKETS! Way to grab them by the throat early in both halves. AWESOME!

My sentiments exactly.

It really was so blatant that even ABC's crew made reference to the multiple "no calls" of holding and the phantom pass interference call.

Very, very obvious. Truly an embarrassment to the League.

Anyway......way to go JACKETS!!!!

The refs were trying to help out the home team. They really wanted them to get that last touchdown and make the score look more respectable. To hell with the fake Tech!!!

Damn that prevent defense made me nervous the fourth quarter. What a hell of a job by the whole team but especially the special teams and the defense. We Beamered Beamer!!!!

You got that right Brother! When Chan came out on Thursday and said a big key to the game was winning special teams, I thought bad things.
What a great job by Coach Kelly!
If our STs don't have some swagger now, they should.

I could not believe the refereeing in the 4th Quarter. It was so obvious they were trying to either appease the Hokie crowd or simply trying to help ABC keep a few viewers by keeping a comeback in the realm of possibility.

Could you believe the referee when he came out and said the replay confirmed the call on the field when the replay absolutely showed the ball never broke the plane and it should have been 4th and 1?

Except for Reggie's indiscretion it was good to see our kids and coaches remain poised when they were getting shafted.
