I have zero rooting interest, and at the time, UNL was still on the "hate" list. 

I thought it was a terrible call.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

most people thought that way

to that point in CFB history there weren't many occurrences of putting time back on the clock

the Huskers had one in the Orange bowl vs Charlie Ward and the Seminoles - missed the FG

I thought that was a terrible call. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
Getting the call right is terrible? Yeah, no.

Yeah.  I mean, that happened a decade and a half earlier.  In 1994 it might have been unheard of, but in 2009 it certainly wasn't.

The rules could be changed to disallow use of video evidence.  It would be odd to create a rule with the intention of NOT being able to correct a bad call, with the intent of deliberately creating worse outcomes, but if that were the rule, then we'd all have to live by it.

if video evidence was used during the 94 season and 95 orange bowl - the huskers wouldn't have needed a last sec FG attempt

Ah so unlike in 2009 when they corrected a bad call, in 1994 they had no evidence to support putting time back on the clock?  That seems crazy.

No sir.  The clock call was correct.   There were a few other incorrect calls earlier in the game that could have should have been corrected

Ah, well then, all's well that ends well.

We shouldn't chide the officials when they change things to correct something, that was incorrectly called in the first place.  Better officiating is good for the whole sport, even when we don't like the way the call went.

So far this is entirely predictable for the Badgers...

and predictably sad.
