Honestly, I think the proper call would have been to overturn the pass interference and then call a penalty on fans throwing things on the field.

Generally speaking, I am against fans throwing stuff on the field. In particular...if they end up as "projectiles" headed toward human targets! Not sure I saw that last night so.....
In the scenario last night - I am OK with it. Given the egregious circumstances, I give a pass. You may not agree....but I think circumstances will dictate it differently and it's not only all about the poor call....it's also about the tenor of the game and what is at stake.
Fundamentally, I know I will have push back, and that's OK.
I will also add this to the discussion..... I can't remember the last game I watched that was without a bad call by the refs. Many of them having a significant impact on the outcome. This rule about some not being reviewable is 100% BS. We saw last night that they ACTUALLY CAN review a play - last night they didn't call it a "REVIEW" but rather a "DISCUSSION". Talk about BS.....
Officiating needs to open their damn eyes and get this fixed - now. Not next season.
I'm delighted the fans were able to finally have a say in things in an otherwise screwed up system.
Fix the system and then it won't happen. That is the correct path.
Lastly...I heard the conference will be reviewing the situation. I wouldn't be surprised if Texas gets some kind of fine. Which would be even more BS and would fly in the face of trying to fix things.
Rant over.....
