    Officiating Was An Eight Letter Word


    To wrap the Music City Bowl up, here are a few observations:

    * Officiating was- how can I say this? T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E ! The offensive interference call on Carr that negated the TD was awful as well as the so called leaping call.

    * Bobby Bowden as I had predicted did put on the headsets. As my wife so aptly put it, "Maybe he was listening to country music."

    * I am not as sure as ESPN announcer Ron Franklin regarding the NCAA not doing anything to FSU regarding the academic fraud scandal. I will not be surprised to see a full blown investigation by the NCAA.

    * Penalties by FSU are a sign of a lack of coaching and discipline. Several FSU players should have been benched for their stupid actions.

    * Antone Smith is not as fast as has been reported. If he was, he would have had a TD on the long run that he had in the game.

    * Just when you thought Cismesia had turned the corner, he misses a field goal. Not a very good ending to his FSU career.

    * Bobby Bowden says that Drew Weatherford is the man next year. Let's hope that QB coach Jimbo Fisher has something to say about that.

    The officiating was terrible all the way around but FSU got the brunt of it. Weatherford isn't bad. He's better than Rix, and the alternatives to date have been even worse. The team continues to be undisciplined as we continue to be one of the most penalized teams (how many years in a row now?) and regularly show up with NCAA violations. That means the problem is Bowden. Ship him out of Tallahassee.
