Uncharted Territory

To tell you the truth, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. I sat down on Saturday night to watch my Tigers lose a heart-breaker on national television. BOOM! Mizzou scores TD's on its first two possessions and goes up 14-0. Then I see (as usual) the refs screw Mizzou twice, missing a TD catch and then claiming they couldn't see it on replay either, and I thought "Here comes the collapse." BOOM! We blow them out the rest of the way.

There are long standing patterns of behavior that I am finding it difficult to shed. I knew Mizzou had a chance to win (although I predicted a 1 point Husker victory), but I thought they would scrape by at best. But, this season at least, Nebraska is not in Mizzou's weight class. Count me happy but confused by my new surroundings.

So next week it is No. 11 ranked Mizzou versus No. 6 Oklahoma.

Man, does that sentence look weird to me.

That call in the endzone was appalling. What an indictment of replay.

The sideline call in the LSU/Florida game was terrible too. Sure, I THINK the FL kick returner may have been touching the line, but it wasn't perfectly clear so WTF did they think they were doing overturning it...and reviewing it for what seemed like an hour to boot.

I've always said football refs are the worst. No other sport has so many BASIC calls blown as football. Of course I said that back in the day when MLB umpires (other than Denkinger) could get the calls at first base correct. Have they instituted some sort of mandatory drinking program? I've seen more incorrect "it wasn't even close" calls in the playoffs than I've seen in the last four or five years combined.

And I said that before I saw Brian Hall make an even bigger joke out of MLS officiating than it already was.

Yikes.
