Stop comparing last night to the 18 Oregon-Stanford game

Not the same...last night was as simple as snapping the ball, taking a knee, game over. Stanford Oregon was second and 3 with 1:01 seconds left and Stanford had a TO remaining almost guaranteeing they would get the ball back albeit with little time on the clock. I wish I can say almost 24 hours has me moving on but I am having a hard time with this one. A nice win against UNC would be a good start but, man. That was inexcusable.

Even with the botched call, if Kitchens just tackles the WR with no TO's left, miami still likely wins. The ref blew the call, I could go on and on... almost seemed like I was watching a nightmare that really didn't or shouldn't have happened.
 
Not kneeling was dumb. Not officially protesting the called "fumble" is worse. We have to stop taking ACC officiating laying down. Miami has to bring attention to this. Never let them live it down ever. Make the ACC officials worried they have a watchful eye on them. I'm not a blame the refs guy, but this is one of those rare occasions. We actually didn't lose the game because Don Chaney didn't fumble. Period. Replay confirmed it clearly.

What, exactly, is an “official protest”?

I agree with you HOWEVER, the fact they did not do the obvious, no brainer kneel down, they were begging for something like that to happen...begging!

So what? If he fumbled okay. If the the replay was at all questionable okay. It wasn't. The refs made a conscious decision to punish Mario. That's not acceptable.

I was an A++++ nightmare. I absolutely KNEW as soon as they fumbled(they didnt, but we know how that went) that at the very least they would tie it. I have never seen anything like that in my 40+ years of watching sports

This was IMO worse than the FIU loss, the gatech 2005 loss when we were no.3 in country with bcs and acc title on Line, worse than the middle tenn loss, worse than the 66-13 loss to Syracuse in 1998, worse than the loss to pitt in 2017 when we were no 2 in country, I could go on and on.... we handed them the game, plain and simple. Maybe the most inexcusable loss in UM history.
