Well, after watching countless replays of SMU's pass into the
end zone when James Lott was accused of committing pass interference,
I think it is a questionable call, however, there are reasons for
calling it both ways what with incidental contact (the feet) and
a fairly uncatchable ball.  I'm not going to debate whether or
not it was a bad call, I've seen it a bunch and I can't decide.
I can say that James Lott claims he shoved the receiver AFTER he
batted the ball down which upon watching the replay is clearly
not the way it happened.  The only question in my mind is how
accidental and bad the shove was.  But, that's another argument...

What I am going to point out is how much more class Bobby Collins
has than Barry Switzer.  Sure he was disappointed and maybe mad
(surely after seeing the replay).  But he realized that what's
done is done and proving to the world that you're an asshole isn't
going to change the outcome of the game.  He isn't planning on
blackballing any officials or anything!  I never like Collins much,
but this weekend I gained some respect for him.

Here in Texas, we've known for years what a jerk Switzer is.
Finally it's becoming obvious to the rest of the world.  Let's
see him convince somebody that they should've beaten Kansas
"But that 28 points they scored were all illegal!!..."

I'd Sooner be dead than red.
