I stand by my previous statement (and I know which county you're really from. MRD and I like to play up the rivalry between you and Il Padrino. And CEU is looking pretty good for me right about now.). You can't go back and argue hypothetical this-would-have-happened scenarios. The call wasn't the difference in the game.

BYU fans are obsessed with referees. The conspiracy is so vast that it extends not only to them but also to their rival teams and even teams they have lost recruits to. There is a ref crutch for every situation. I'm frankly shocked that we haven't heard that there was holding all night that wasn't ever called. This one almost invariably gets trotted out.

You're dodging the point. Can you get me a job at CEU or what?

True, but then Utah gets the ball back with about 40 seconds left and liekly inside their own 20 with no timeouts left.

Just as "likely" they run the punt back for a TD. This dialogue is futile.

I saw lots of holding by the Utes that was never called.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

And how about all the holding that wasn't called at key moments in the game? The Utes got away with some big time stuff.

That's why Aiona Key is so important...he would've caught it and still left OSU 35 seconds.
