I'm down with replay. If the NBA had replay the Jazz would probably have a ring in 1998.
Controversy in Provo/This guy doesn't care much for BYU (merged)
Believe it or not people can root for another team yet be professional and perform their job honorably.
You know, there's an old adage that says you are most likely to view other people based on how you view yourself. As an example, men that constantly accuse their significant other of cheating are likely cheating themselves. You are so sure that this videographer in some way influenced the call because if you were put in the same position you would influence the call. Just saying.

For the record, I am not denying it. I am flat out openly saying that if I attended the University of Utah during a championship football season, and when I graduated I got a job with the athletic department, and 21 years later still worked for the athletic department, I would probably not be the best choice for the replay booth. I have no problem admitting that. The ones who actually try to deny it are the ones you have to worry about.
No, but he did build Stonehenge.

Okay, so I just listened to the radio link of the San Diego radio guy (on 1320 kfan's website).
I will say this- aside from the racist stuff, I actually agree with him. And to add to that, it's really not any different than Max Hall saying all Utah fans are classless, and lying about his family getting beer poured on them.
BYU fans were all happy/in agreement/etc about Hall's comments, so they can't really say too much about this radio dude's.

The funny thing is, saying he did something wrong is not the conspiracy here. The MWC investigated, and found sufficient grounds to suspend him based on their investigation. So the only conspiracy here is the BYU homers' claim that he really didn't do anything wrong and the MWC just suspended him because they hate BYU/no reason/whatever.
The MWC said he did something wrong and suspended him for it. Period. That is not the conspiracy, that is a fact.
Why am I not surprised?
Were you sitting with or near his family to know with absolute surety it didn't happen?
Actually, I disagree with Max Hall's comments. For the most part, I have the utmost respect for Utah and its football program. This SDSU guy obviously doesn't like BYU, Provo, or probably the Mormon church in general. Come to think of it, how do I know that you're not this same guy?

Well, aside from the physics making it nearly impossible to pour beer on any player at RES without running onto the field (where everyone would see you, security would catch you, and you would be beaten to a pulp by the football players), there is the fact that they don't sell beer at RES and won't let you bring any in. So if something like that happened, we would have heard about it at the time it happened, and there would be plenty of witnesses.
And if it happened in the stands, why wasn't Hall's family sitting in the BYU section? Why didn't they get security after it happened? Beer is not allowed in the stadium, so this would have been a big deal (and we would have seen the commotion with security in the crowd).
Occam's Razor- Max Hall made it up.
You should listen to the radio segment on kfan's website.

It's not as bad as the quote in original post.
How about a Ute homer's claim that he really didn't do anything wrong except sitting in the replay booth when some bonehead replay official lacked the balls to overturn a call on the field?

Well that would be a conspiracy. The fact here is the MWC investigation determined that he did do something wrong.
