Of course it was the official's fault

This might get interesting.  This very week's CFO video had something almost as "minor" and we were told it is a foul.    Seems clear enough to me

Next thing we will hear is this player is in some religion where this is a religious act.

And they said the Coug fans were whiny about the non-PI call in Oregon's previous game:

And their response to the Coug fans who whined about this non-call costing WSU the game?  You had plenty of other opportunities.  Why didn't you take advantage of them then?

Well Duck fans, listen to your own advice.  Officials didn't decide the outcome of this game.

I thought this was pretty clearly a foul.

(h) Going into the stands to interact with spectators, or bowing at the
waist after a good play.

The one I remember from the CFO video I remember was in the Texas-UCLA game, when a player caught a long pass and came up and did what looked like the "feed me the ball" motion.  The video wanted this called as shaking the ball at the defender. I must admit I would not have seen it that way.

I guess it's too much for these dolts who write for a failing medium to actually do real RESEARCH before spouting off their stupidity. "Dont let facts get in the way of a good story" i suppose. Took me all of 5 seconds to double check whether "bowing" was specifically mentioned in the rules or if it was more of a guiding principle thing. Yup, it's right there, word for word.

Seems like every week Dr. Redding has one play in his biweekly video where he admnoishes or praises an official for missing these kinds of calls. I think it deserves high praise for these guys to stay with this player for that long after a play and catch this. Great call.

This play made the CFO video this week and RR commended the crew for the call

...as expected. Yet, I still saw on a news article someone b***ing about it being flagged.

The funny thing about that play was the CB getting up and looking for the flag before he celebrated. That's almost like a guy throwing up his hands to say I didn't block him in the back.  ;D
