I agree with your statement 1000%. At the risk of being John Kerry again(who I proudly voted for), my point was that the refs missed a call that would have saved the game for us--a game in which you correctly observe and with which I am in complete agreement, we were outcoached and outplayed. You would be surprised to know that the first thing out of my mouth to my kids after the last play was, "Well, Iowa deserved to win that game." My oldest son then pointed out the push to me, we've been watching this board of late and we decided to post our thoughts.
In my zeal I used the words "cost us the game" in reference to the no call. I agree wholeheartedly with you that our poor coaching and execution really cost us the game and we never should have been in the situation for that last play to have mattered.
I am likewise not an "excuse maker"--we lost the game and we have to handle that loss with class and maturity while being proud and supportive of our team. That is how I live and that is what I try to instill in my kids. I was just throwing out my observation to see if anyone else noticed the push, not to whine that we got robbed or anything along those lines.
Anyway I'm starting to feel like Alan Alda in need of some quiche over here. In all sincerity, thank you for your response and your olive branch. I'm sorry about the "lonely" comment--that was tacky and I apologize.
