UNC CHeats Got Robbed

I don't stick up for UNC CHeats.

But the refs did their part in making sure Georgia won the UNC - GA game at the Georgia Dome.

In the 3rd - a couple of questionable pass interference calls went against UNC.

Then - it got totally out of hand - and darn near obvious the refs were taking sides - an 'illegal lineman downfield' call was wrong - just plain wrong. Easily seen during the play and on replay. Coach Fedora tore into the refs - and got a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty. Fedora was whining the whole game - maybe the refs got tired of it - but the refs essentially gave two crappy flags to UNC. That completely changed the game for Carolina.

Then, in the fourth, when Carolina was making a comeback - a critical 3rd down catch WAS made and then, inexplicably, overturned on replay. The 'reason' (and by that - I mean 'excuse') was the ball was jiggling a little as the player hit the ground. Well of course it was - he was being hit - BUT - he held on to the ball and had possession AND control. Even if there was a little ball movement - it was still under control and ruled a catch. Then, overturned on replay. WTF? Replay is supposed to require 'indisputable evidence' that the call was wrong. No way there was anywhere near enough to overturn the ruling on the field.

That pretty much took the wind out of the sails for UNC. Add in a bonehead safety and poor play calling at the very end - and Georgia gets the win.

Maybe Georgia would have won anyway without the bad UNC calls - but I doubt it.
