Yeah. So apparently the crew of the FSU-Miami game was suspended for a ridiculous reason while the crew of VT-Clemson doesn't receive any reprimands whatsoever. It's frustrating that just because that referee crew was shown in primetime, they're the ones that get the axe. Meanwhile, the issues with our crew are completely ignored.

Sorry, link isn't working. I guess just copy and paste it or just go to ESPN's ACC blog.
Saw parts of the FSU-Miami game
And I concur, the refereeing in that game was hideous...but I didn't think it was worse (or for that matter better...it was about as bad) as our game.
Apparently they weren't suspended for anything other than not administering the 10 second run-off at the end of the first half.
what the F$%!
That officiating crew got the call right eventually. F$U had a time out and used it to avoid the run off...but making two horrible calls in our game. Wow I know how the Packers fans feel.
Ridiculous
I think it is stupid that they didn't at least touch on the Thomas sack call. I mean by the time the play was called dead he was just holding his heel. There should have been a memo sent or something. I think it is crazy they didn't even acknowledge it. IMO the game momentum started turning after the failed 4th down conversion but that fumble and sack calls really effected the outcome of the game. If either of those three didn't happen we would have had a greatly different outcome.
