"The replay official is the most important person in the whole world to a coach now." - Mr. Corso
That's just wrong.
The let-me-review-the-most-exciting-play-of-the-game-and-possibly-overturn-what-the-refs-on-the-field-decide replay official is the worst thing to happen to college (and pro) football since the invention of the JumboTron.
Your team just scores a touchdown. The stadium is rocking. Hold on. Stop. Quiet. This play will be reviewed. Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock Okay, yeah, so it really is a touchdown. So all you people can start screaming again. Go ahead, scream. It's ok. You really did score. We just had to make sure. Didn't mean to interupt all the excitement.
If we are going to put the final decision on a guy in the pressbox watching a video, then why are we even using those older, wiser guys in the striped shirts on the field? No need for them to risk a heart attack trying to keep up with those superhuman players.
I'm not suggesting that we go back to leather helmets, 1:00pm games, or for goodnesssakes, white socks (joking)... but leave the replays to people that still make VCR tapes of the television broadcasts of the games and the Corsos of the world. The losers have to have something to bitch about on Monday morning.
That's all.
