[NU Sports] Re: Different Perspective On What Went Wrong

The WAC refs were a joke (as expected).
 
There were only two announcements that I noticed that were met with almost universal disdain from the otherwise cheery crowd:
 
1 - 'Today's officials are from the WAC'  (seems that now that UTEP is in Conference USA, even they consider the WAC to be a joke).  and
 
2 - 'Beer sales will be cutoff at the end of the third quarter'
 
I was also very (culturally) surprised to see beer being sold at a campus (and publicly owned) site, though I have noticed it also at a Cincinnati Bearcat home football game several years ago.  I have seen it at numerous non-campus sites. 
 
Maybe that's why so many people seemed so festive throughout.

I thought the same thing as Mike.  In particular, the hit that put Baz on the 
ground for quite a while was a VERY late hit.  It was unbelievable that no 
flag was thrown on that play.  

Late hits on a QB are going to happen in football, but it sure looked to me 
as though UCLA had a deliberate strategy of hitting Baz very, very late -- even 
if it cost them some personal fouls.  It was disgraceful that some of the 
obvious penalties weren't even flagged by the refs.  

Then again, I wasn't expecting much from the same gang of WAC officials that 
hosed us in Hawaii last year.

taking might have cost NFL defensive players a few grand in fines.
