     To this point you are the only one I know of that feels it wasn't 
for taunting.  That doesn't mean there aren't others.  I just haven't 
run into them yet.  Maybe it wasn't for taunting but the announcers said 
it was for taunting.  Obviously, they can be wrong but usually if it is 
missed they get a message from the truck to correct it.  You, obviously, 
have your mind set that it was a bad call and maybe it was.  I am not 
defending anything.  I am just telling you what they said on TV.  
Another thing to keep in mind is the official can make the wrong signal 
as well.   I've officiated enough to know that can indeed happen. 


     But bad call or no bad call that one call didn't lose the game.  
One thing everyone needs to keep in mind is in games NU plays, the other 
team has bad calls against them from which NU benefits as well.  Things 
have a way of evening out.  I sometimes am no different but sports fans 
in general seem to have the idea there are only bad calls against their 
team.
