5. I just wish we could get the voters as excited about important stuff.

I remember in high school we lost a very important game because a ref made a mistake and blew the play dead because he thought a tire mark from the homecoming half time was the out of bounds.It ended a thirty something game winning streak, All of us just went on and it was an important life lesson.The head coach remained in control and didn't blow up. Under the rules the play is dead once the whistle blows.Period. Life isn't always fair and sometimes strange things happen. I'm sure the ref felt bad, too. Another thing I realized was any number of plays could have changed the results, anyway. A pass that was 6 inches off, the ball boucing differently, a missed tackle, and on and on. Things happen. Life goes on.
