We lost, and I really don't mind losing, but, losing because of a reffing error is hard to swallow. 4th quarter, 1:24 on the clock, we are down 38-36, we have 1st down on the 21. Throw an incomplete pass. 2nd down run the ball close enough for a measurement.....inches short. We call time out and when we come out of the TO, the white hat calls out to the sideline downs keeper that it is 4th down and signals up to me that it is 4th down. I've got third down on the scoreboard and say to the others, that it's not fourth, but third down. The ref puts the ball into play. They stop us on a play up the middle, short of the first down and they indicate that it is the opposing teams' ball. It was like we lost a down for calling the TO. People everywhere are screaming, the coaches in the box with us are freaking out. The two radio stations that are there are both beside themselves,both trying to figure out what just happened. Even if they figure out there was a mistake, nothing can be done. NOW, on a brighter note. My #1 daughter texts me this afternoon, asking, "IF i can come up with tickets would I be able to come to KC for a World Series game?" I text back, IF you can get tickets I'll take two personal days. About 15 minutes later I get a text that says Merry Christmas and Happy birthday, you have two tickets to game two of the WORLD Series, to watch MY Royals play. I am so thrilled and thankful to my daughter. I told some people tonight and they couldn't believe that she was able to get tickets, they had tried and couldn't get them. My daughter is the best! |
