This ref is now considering retiring due to death threats. WTG "peaceful" Oregonians.
Why would Oregon fans be threatening him? The calls (was another one after that) allowed Oregon to come from behind and win the game.
Penn St at Michigan last year. Michigan player clearly steps on the sideline as he comes down with a pass. Ruled a catch and 1st down. Replay shows he steps on line, yet the replay officials uphold the call on the field (or it didn't even get reviewed, can't remember.) Pretty sure that was on a 4th down, so PSU would have won the game. Also, the clock doesn't start immediately on the next play, which eventually leaves Michigan with 1 second on the clock. Michigan scores on the last play of the game to win. Those calls cost Penn St a chance at the BCS Championship game (chance, because I don't know who would have come out 1 and 2 in the BCS had Penn St been undefeated.)
McCarver is the worst announcer ever. Even Family Guy (I think it was Family Guy) made fun of him on Sunday.

Favorite moment in baseball ever is in 1992 when McCarver is in the Braves locker room and Deion Sanders dumps a full jug of ice water on him. All McCarver could come back with was "You're a real man, Deion. A real man."
Theismann ain't much better, people just have a soft spot for him because of the leg.
