Should just do a find and replace to L*uisville on all NCAA records.

Officials that do L*uisville games should just go ahead and wear their school colors.

I don't like the caption because it's wrong - Louisville didn't cheat.  A better caption would read: 'Louisville scored 4 runs after 3 outs because the umps (one of which is a UL grad and employee at ESPN-L'Ville*) refused to overturn an obvious, replay verified throw out at 2nd base, and then allowed two batters to continue batting despite 3 obvious thrown strikes'.

Just keep it to simple facts...

(* - was this ever verified, or just a rumor from some twit poster?)

And now it's gone.

You know anyone can edit wikipedia to make it say whatever they want, right? This is like making a thread about an anonymous tweet.

This whole situation sucks. Clearly a big piece of the blame lies with the on-field ump, a UL graduate who was probably operating with a "tie goes to the Cardinals" mentality, but I can at least understand he may have had a bad angle, sun/dust in his eyes or other factors to make the real-time call difficult. But the biggest problem is with the replay official who blew one of the most clear-cut calls ever seen despite none of those complications. Unfortunate all around.
