I think we’ve gotten to an interesting point in sports.
Refs have been bad, and nobody enjoys that. But getting mad when they actually make good calls has become an excuse for a lot of fans.
The refs weren’t out to get you, Tennessee. Your players committed the fouls, and the calls were good. I’ve just seen a ton of fans say, “Well, if the game wasn’t at USC, we would’ve won,” or basically, “If the refs hadn’t done their job, we would’ve won.”
Just a bunch of lame what-ifs to make themselves feel better.
