Due to the huge volume of posts and articles on the internet regarding the legitimacy of the celebration call at the end of the game I will add my two cents by simply saying it was a good call on a really stupid rule.

Now for my opinion of the game as a whole. It was exactly as anyone would expect with a PAC-10 officiating crew, which can be well shown by a couple of pictures:

I’ve seen less holding in a college dorm room. I am well aware of the fact that calls get missed on every single play of any given game, but when it is as deliberate as some of those holds on Saturday someone needs to address the situation.

It would be a logistical nightmare initially, but why isn’t the NCAA the group that oversees officiating. Doesn’t it seem like a conflict of interest to anyone else that each conference is responsible for their own officials. At the very least an endeavor like the MWC and Big 12, in cooperation with other conferences, are trying to workout would be beneficial.

Regional officiating crews that don’t have direct conference ties would be more successful and would in large part alleviate any idea that crews are biased to their own conference. If there wasn’t some advantage to having your own officiating crews, why would the PAC-10 insist on using only their crews for non-conference games?

There is no show more hyped then Fringe coming this fall.
Sure it has JJ. Abrams and his Bad Robot production company behind it with famous writers like Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. ( Writers of Transformers and sequel ** Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen coming 2009 **) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1055369/

It’ll be filled with conspiracies but no aliens just lot’s farm animals.
I’m sure people will be coming back from the dead and secret labs will be found.
Who’s behind the curtain and who’s pulling their strings?
It seems like everythings will get tied together like the leave to the apple.

Everyone seems so afraid it will be cancelled after a few episodes so they don’t want to start watching it. Won’t that just add to poor ratings and get it cancelled that much quicker?
I’m sure any Canadian or British networks would be happy to pick it up. (Sure the first episode has a huge budget but other episodes won’t need to be as long or outlandish as the first one.)

Will it live up to the hype? We think so!
