For a ref to throw a flag for a judgement call like that in a one point game is ridiculous. It is not fair that he cost those kids a shot at that game. People watch and go to the games to see the players and not the zebras. They should have gotten away with anything short of the entire team break dancing in the endzone. It is such a game of emotion, and when you make such a big play you should be able to get excited. If they were up thirty then I could maybe understand a flag (personally I think they should do whatever they want). But in a close game the refs should be more concerned with the real penalties (which I am sure that there were a few missed ones) and leave the flags in the pockets for the phantom ones!
