    You officiating crew was horrific at the 2014 Cotton Bowl. All of you should resign or be suspended for all of 2014. The worst called game in my years of attending College Football Games.

    Without the need to house tubes or accommodate a labyrinth of
    wires, they can be created to provide power for the smallest of electronic devices.
    They also sustain enough space between the elements to allow warm dissipation. Deliver
    A Presentation, most performers from the witout a doubt throughout-deal through
    the development of awful excessiveness amount
    the actual malfunction stacking wire small business, even worse.

    Mr. Lemonnier,
    The last I knew, it was illegal for an offensive player to push, pull, drag, throw, or carry the ball carrier to keep him up or advance him forward. I see it every game I watch, especially at the goal line. Why is it never called?

    Thanks,
    Shawn
