[82 Card]

Wait until the next time we lose a game. I hope it's later rather than sooner, but I guarantee there will be a thread bi**ching about the officiating. We lost this game because the offense couldn't get much done, and when they finally did, the defense couldn't hold the fort. End of story.

There will always be complaining about refs. Most of the time, I will not join in. I even pointed out a call against Stanford that I thought the refs missed. I don't think the refs consciously set out to cheat for one team. However, with ND there is a consistent trend. I see the same thing when ND plays other teams.

That said, I think Stanford lost this game. The only reason the game was close enough for the refs to matter was because of some flubbed kicks probably caused by the weather. Both offenses looked horrible. ND's O was playing our D. Our O has no excuse.
