Thanks ...Excellent summary of what really happened! Thanks for putting this together. As someone who as at the game, I never saw any of the fouls that were called on us, including those on Gholston. As far as I could tell, these were typical bad calls designed to help Michigan stay in the game.<br /><br />Once I saw some of the replays Saturday night and Sunday, I could see where the penalties came from. Gholston deserved to be flagged, and his team paid the price with the penalty. As you've pointed out, Dantonio also addressed the situation during the game.<br /><br />Too bad he did those things, but he was penalized during the game. That's different than when the UM player sucker-punched the ND player three years ago and no penalty was called during the game. If the league office (or Dantonio) decides that there should be more penalties against Gholston, that's fine, let's take it and move on...but after watching the video of the pretext for the "punch", things are much more clear about this situation.<br /><br />By the way, watching the game in person allowed me to see multiple cases of "extra-curriculars" all over the field all game long several seconds after plays were whistled dead. The prevailing strategy by the officials was to break up the scuffles and leave their flags in their pockets. I can see where they had to penalize Gholston, as he committed a personal foul in each case, but there was plenty of provocation from the the bumble-bees, ALL GAME LONG.American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.com
