In some manner of defense on the personal foul penalty, which was discussed in another thread, I think the ref calling that personal foul was ridiculous to say the least. My son and the other D linemen told me that everyone cusses and that the Vidor players were bad about it. The ref decided for some odd reason to hit us with that penalty. Our player wasn't even talking to a Vidor player, he was congratulating one of our own. Vidor was in their huddle when it happened. Don't know if the ref was mad because one of our D lineman hit Vidors back super hard or was just tired of the game. When I played ball everyone cussed and shot comments back and forth. I'm sure even coaches throw in some cuss words at times. Not making excuses for the comment that caused the penalty, I just think the call was crazy and with 1 minute left. For me, the refs didn't call much of the calls they should have. Mauling Nelson and the other receivers on pass plays, tackling our D linemen and holding them and dragging them to the ground. Lots of messed up penalty calls all night and alot of penalties that should have been called that were obvious. Lets hope we have better refs in the playoffs.
I'm beginning to think that not only do all the teams we play hate us, but I'm beginning to think the refs are too.
