Well, that took the BCF title from Tuskegee, eh? Official botched a call, costing Tuskegee the TDC and giving Alabama State the "upset". Who was there? Was this the right move by the SIAC?

The Southern Inter*collegiate Athletic Con*ference has permanent*ly suspended an official who ruled that a late touchdown pass was out of bounds in last week's Turkey Day Clas*sic game against Alaba*ma State, costing the Golden Tigers a win.
In statement Friday the league said the offi*ciating crew for the 2008 Turkey Day Classic did "a distressingly poor job officiating the con*test," and permanently suspended Philip Hard*en as an official for any future SIAC football contests.
Dr. Moses Norman, the league's supervisor of officials said "the play should have result*ed in a touchdown for Tuskegee. Certainly, this was a game-changing ruling by the back judge."
