I have to give credit to the referees for noticing those new red uniforms of ours.
That was one of the more insulting things a referee could say on the field. In case others missed it, on the first sideline warning, the ref said, "Sideline warning, Miami."
Thanks for reporting this. I thought that was what I heard, but nobody else around me reacted to the blunder, so I thought maybe I had heard it wrong with all the ambient crowd noise.
On another issue raised in this thread, I'll have to say I was very proud of my brethren (and sistern) on the Old Fart Side. I stood up and looked around with about 7 minutes to go in the game and there were no visible areas of empty seats. It was still full even up to the far edges of the Tower Side stands. I looked again after the insurance TD and at that point those far corners were starting to vacate but the middle sections were still full. Conclusion: Old Farts love their OHIO football!
