Also, nothing brings fans together faster than VERY questionable refereeing decisions.

Like a holding call that wasn't a holding call during a pivotal game with your rival?

I don't understand how #20 got a red card. They were both playing the ball, not like he had eyes in his feet and targeted that guys ankle. Piss poor judgment on the refs part. Or, maybe he just hates Americans. I'll go with the political angle.
And the holding, Christ! How obvious is grabbing the jersey and holding on. You'd think the guy was wearing a cape!

Eeeehhhhhh I dunno, that Shafer hold wasn't exactly nothing. Those same plays go uncalled all the time, though.

First Brawl last year. Shafer called for a holding on a Gilman TD run. Call was BS per previous BSC officiating standards.
