Michigan's defense figured out how to stop the almighty Tebow.
Did the refs help Arrignton catch this ball?

I was a ref---and still umpire. The crews that are chosen to work bowl games are the best in their conference. It is an honor to be chosen to work a bowl. Yes, officials are human; and, just like players, and coaches, they make mistakes. But to say an officiating crew favored one team over another is ludicrous. There is this concept in officiating called I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y. Integrity is the #1 attribute of a successful official. Face it, there were questionable calls---there will always be, but U of M (and I am an OSU fan) plain out beat Florida. Even Urban Meyer said it..."We didn't do a very good job of coaching ..."

Maybe you missed where I said .. "Regardless, we lost and Michigan won." Yup, refs are human and they can make mistakes. I'm not saying that they were intentionally making a few bad calls, I never said that but it did happen. On a side note, all of this talk about integrity. Yes thats how it should be but I'm pretty sure you can agree that there have been plenty of refs that have done some less honorable things in the past, correct? Not saying that went down here in this game. but like you said "Face it, there were questionable calls---there will always be" thats about the only other thing to be said of it.
Sorry to be misinterpretted---I was responding more to Sundevil... The refs were from neither the Big 10 or the SEC---I know i have made my share of mistakes, but those guys have decades of experience, and the D-1 refs that I worked with were beyond reproach---they were, without a doubt, the most credible and ethical people that I have ever, worked with.
