The news last night did not show a replay of the "foul" ball which I 
thought was curious.  Does Nebraska have video cameras at away games? Do 
the TV stations get video feeds from the local stations for the news?
     That play got me to wondering what would happen if the ball was 
fair and the bullpen and bench cleared still jumped up and complained 
that the ball was foul and the officials called the play depending on 
the bench and not a official with the better view.  Would a team 
practice that kind of gamesmanship?
    I don't worry a whole lot any longer about whether Nebraska unduly 
gains on bad calls by officials; especially since the Penn State 
football game back in 1982 (long memory) when the officials made two 
horrendous calls that cost Nebraska  the game and a possible national 
championship.  Also one year that Nebraska was getting pounded by Texas 
but was still in the game.  The calls and game seem to have been leaning 
Texas' way all day when finally we caught a pass for a large gain..  An 
official called defensive pass interference against Texas.  
Unfortunately, Matt Davidson caught the ball and was further down the 
field than the penalty called for and we lost ground.   If the ball had 
been foul and it was called a home run, well so be it.  If the ball was 
fair and the OSU team influenced the call to be foul, then so be it, but 
increases my cynical outlook on officiating.
