We give up: let's play without officials

The powers that be decided the six officials on the field weren't good enough to get the calls right. So, they invented the video tape machine (which is probably a DVR, but we like the "video tape machine" name better).

So, they put some guy in the press box to review calls on the field when a coach challenged them. That wasn't good enough, so this year they made the fella in the press box review ALL plays in college football this year.

As proven by last week's Louisville at Connecticut game, that doesn't work either.

The Big East Conference has acknowledged Louisville was screwed by the officials in the game, by allowing a punt returner for UConn to advance after signaling for a fair catch. Worse, they let stand his "touchdown" which he "scored" when all 21 other players on the field came to a stop. It determined the outcome of the game.



It's time to scrap the video review from college football. It doesn't work. I'll take my chances with the blind mice in stripes on the field. At least they have an excuse.
