If the Florida Gators win the national title this year, the championship should come with an asterisk:
*Referee-aided.
And the championship trophy should have a bronzed image of a blindfolded Southeastern Conference ref pulling a late flag out of his pocket and calling a phantom personal foul penalty on Arkansas.
And the inscription below the trophy should have my favorite limerick about college football officiating:
“There once was a ref whose vision,
Was cause for abuse and derision,
He remarked in surprise,
‘Why pick on my eyes?
It’s my conference that dictates my decision.'”
