Was there a personal foul that was not committed/called in this game?

Yowzers! You know it's bad when you say "at least we won." There was some good football in that game somewhere, but the amount of penalties and personal fouls was astounding! Leave the face masks alone already! Then there were the sacks... ouch, ouch and *OUCH*! It was a dirty game, but not as bad as some I've seen. Whew, boy, looks like we're in for some nailbiters and demoralizers this season. But just let us keep with the winning streak for a while, okay God? :)

Personal fouls... everytime I hear someone deal a low conversational blow or perpetuate nasty gossip, I'd like to have the authority to call a personal foul! "5 day penalty for the offence, repeat conversation, guard down" I could develop a whole system and apply personal fouls to group dynamics: Face mask penalties-- words so sharp and harsh that they cause you to miss the big picture and redirect your attention to the pettiness at hand. Dead ball foul, unecessary roughness-- refusal to participate in the planning process, only to step forward with objections just as the action is underway. Roughing the kicker-- being obstinate or contrary just for attention, with no concern for the greater group goals, objectives.

See, it's starting to come together slowly. Be patient, and I'll show you how to read the Theology of College Football!
