I'm afraid I have to disagree with you Brandy. First, on the pass-interference call, you can blame the message but not the messenger (in this case the Back Judge) because the NFL rules clearly state: Initiating contact with a defender by shoving or pushing off thus creating a separation in an attempt to catch a pass is considered offensive pass interference Frankly, I think the rule and its interpretation is WAY too rigid and that both the defender and the receiver should be allowed SOME contact. Hopefully, the owners will look at this during the off-season. I must politely disagree with you on the TD call too. Keep in mind that the call on the field was a touchdown. So the Referee MUST see clear evidence to prove otherwise in order to overturn the call on the field. Because the ball was tucked away in Roeslisberger's arm, it was impossible to know its exact position from the goal-line replay. I have no doubt that IF the call on the field had gone the other way (4th & inches) and was reviewed, it could NOT have been over-ruled as a touchdown because of the same exact reasons: insufficient evidence. Finally, although #43 has been known to blow a fuse a couple of times this season, I don't think he was out of line during the Super BowlÂ©Â®. But perhaps my SLIGHT bias is getting in my way of seeing that he was being a cheap shot. Maybe I'm like one of those parents who's kid has committed a crime but they still think that their kid is good?! :-) There's definitely a fine line between playing dirty and playing intense. I really believe that the game of football is a lot more mental than people realize. If one can get into an opponent's head and let them know that they will be punished for making a play, then chances are that eventually they won't make a key play. One thing that DOES bother me though is the trash talking both before and during the game. JUST SHUT THE HELL UP and play the dang game. One of the many reasons I love the Steelers is that with the exception of Joey Porter, they always try to take the high road.

That omitted some of the classics! Capture the Flag: Everyone divides up into two teams at night. Each team has a "flag" -- usually just a shirt or bandana. The terrain is split up into two sides, one for each team. Each side positions their flag -- depending on your rules, either announcing where it is, or hiding it within certain constraints (say, must be roughly eye level, must be hanging from a tree branch, or whatnot). Usually, no "guarding" of flags is allowed (you can't have a person hang out within, say, ten feet of your flag, although they can pass through the area). If a member of the opposite team is on your side of the border and you spot them, you can "tag" them and bring them to your "jail" -- if you can catch them before they flee back to the safety of their side ;). Jail "guarding" is usually subject to the same constraints as flag guarding. If a person is "jail" is tagged by a member of their team, that person and the person they rescued get free passage back to their side. The winning team is the first one to grab the other side's flag and bring it back to their side without being tagged first. ----------------------- Skits: Classic campfire entertainment. Kids come up with skits to perform in front of all of the other kids (often figured out in advance of the trip if you haven't seen many before). These are generally performed with improvised props (camping equipment) or no props at all. Humor is the most common aspect of them, although sometimes pranks are involved. Googling should come up with a huge list of them. -------------- Commandoes: A game of flashlights. There is one base (a circle of arbitrary radius), one person trying to defend it with their flashlight, and everyone else who tries to sneak into it. Anyone who sneaks into it "wins" and gets to defend the base for the next round. The defender "defends" the base by shining the flashlight around, looking for people. If they tag someone with the beam, that person is "hit" and has to go far away and try to sneak up all over again.

Oregon Ducks, or Auburn, who do YOU want

Auburn! Mainly because the coach's father was principal at my daughter's high school. He was a terrific person. Also because my niece graduated from Auburn and we went to her graduation. Nice for a smaller school. My niece went to the game--paid $900 just for the game ticket plus airfare from Boston, rental car and hotel. She met up with all her sorority sisters and they've been partying since Saturday. That college degree must be paying off pretty well!

Should we be kicking ourselves?

I would amend the previous poster's advice: If you have patience -- and cash reserves -- THEN you can wait for the right buyer to come along. In the meantime, you're pouring money down a deepening well. We sold our home four months ago, at a price only slightly higher than we paid for it 13 years ago. The loss of value was a shame, but we were ecstatic to find a buyer (a demanding and difficult one, like most these days...), as the process of selling took us over 15 mos. all together and with my husband out of work we had virtually zero $$ left in the bank to pay the mortgage on the day we signed the contract. As 2010 winds down, we find even more reasons to feel lucky. Home prices in our city -- B of A's headquarters, no less! -- have dropped steadily since we closed, as unsold inventory has grown. I don't know what kind of economic factors you must weigh in your area, Phoggie, but if our recent experience is anything to judge by your best bet is to price your house as low as you think you can bear economically (and be prepared for the buyer to offer well below that), and get out of this killer-market quickly. A jaw-dropping price will generate a straight-up offer, and you can avoid contingent contracts. They can be a total nightmare and don't always result in a deal, as we found out on the first house we sold. Meanwhile, while waiting on the buyer to come through, you've lost time and opportunity. Good luck with this situation. You say you have an 'interested' buyer. Yes, in all fairness and justice, your buyer should come up in price now that you've chopped your asking price. But in order to sell your home you may have to drop your idea of what's fair and go for what's effective -- what's going to get you to the closing table. If it were me, I wouldn't dither!

I have found the college officiating to be sadly biased. I wasn't able to watch last night, but it sounds like some blatant dirty playing from what I've read. I was rooting for Oregon because I cannot stand Cam Newton and the rest of the Auburn team, for those very reasons. And I cannot be convinced that he wasn't privy to the sale of his talents by his preacher father. Maybe that Heisman should have gone to someone else?

At the Rose bowl, there was def biased officiating against Wisconsin. Having said that, I have seen biased officiating when in Camp Randall against whoever is playing Wisconsin. I really hate that--you need to win fair and square!

Just talked to DH, who said Auburn was definitely the better team and deserved to win. Sounds like a great game, though. Sorry I missed it!

Wish I could've stayed awake for the end of it. Those last few minutes must've been really exciting! Saw the replays on MSNBC this morning.

I am an Alabama fan, therefore NOT an Auburn fan. I liked Oregon, but they just ran out of time! It was an exciting game down to the end!

This is college not pro. Did not see game, but if he does that in big leagues, he will be nailed good. I have NO respect for people like that..

I am an Auburn fan and alumni, and when Auburn is not playing Alabama, I am an Alabama fan as well. It's really sad to me that anyone feels they can only support one of those teams but not the other.

There were many comments last night that the officiating was excellent in that game.
