The Call

lol how funny. Anyone remember Julius Jones? I remember him scoring a TD in the state title game and giving high fives to school board members who were in the end zone. Officials are people, I understand but its obvious the human factor has gotten worse and misguided in the recent past. Especially in our area, like I said a 17 year old kid who runs into the endzone and raises his hand, god forbide slaps a high five, in a game where his team had not scored when it mattered in the past 3 times they were in the title game, for him to score through the adversity they have faced, to poeteintially (sp) put his team where they would have a chance to go a head, He had not been there before. So how could he act as if he had? There seems to be emphasis rules in officiating, how about emphazing enjoying the game and not focusing on thinking your in the NFL or going to be. Ethan is a great kid, you can see by how he handled it. Does Burton get stuffed at the 3 yd line? Maybe/Maybe not. But to defend the officials in this case would be insane, its a no call even if its some far gone rule in the books, like at the end of the basketball games where a lil more bumping is allowed, let the players decide the game, officals (not all I may add, we do have some fine officials that do these things and are as top notch as they come) but officials often think they are patt of the game, they are not, ego steps in the way of better judgment.

Being from the LPD and seeing what transpired at JMU, I laugh, the league born and built on running up the score and flaunting with no remorse being flagged for the silliest and smallest display we may have ever had.
