-I wasn't aware that throwing the ball high in the air wasn't a violation of the rule that states that you should not "throw the ball high in the air". Celebration rules have been a particular point of emphasis lately too.
-Also, the penalty didn't lose Washington the game. BYU's ability to block the kick did. Not to mention it would only have forced overtime, in which BYU would still probably have won. Also, its possible the kick would have been blocked without the penalty.
-Washington shouldn't have had that touchdown to begin with. There were at least two significant holdings that weren't called on that drive. I'm surprised the refs even enforced the celebration rule, considering THEY'RE PAC-10 REFS, aka donkeys with stripes when it comes to home team bias. There's no way Washington was perfect up until then.
BYU was and is the better team, and they won the game legitimately.
I hope you're a UCLA fan

i love bad refs! 
i dont know what happened, but that reminds me of the raptors game a few years back.
throwing the ball in the air is a dumb idea.

That's not the rule, but I'll let the apologists write the rules anyways. Fact of the matter is, Washington got gipped by a bad rule (or refereeing, as most analysts have agreed). Washington deserved the regular PAT and the probable point to send the game to overtime. Instead, they get ripped off with a L and BYU stays unbeaten despite a cheap game. Hey, it's college football. Reason #209+ that the NFL is better than college, the refs don't decide the game.
And no, I hate the PAC-10 with a passion.
Tell that to the Chargers.

"After a score or any other play, the player in possession immediately must return the ball to an official or leave it near the dead-ball spot.
This prohibits:
(a) Kicking, throwing, spinning or carrying (including off of the
field) the ball any distance that requires an official to retrieve it.
(b) Spiking the ball to the ground [Exception: A forward pass to
conserve time (Rule 7-3-2-d)].
(c) Throwing the ball high into the air.
(d) Any other unsportsmanlike act or actions that delay the game."
It is the rule. I do think it's a bad rule and it needs revision, but a rule is a rule. Wouldn't have had this problem if the Pac-10 refs hadn't botched the rest of the game beforehand. Yes, its college football. Playoffs are one of many, many necessary revisions. That's another tangent though...
On a more relevant note: hooray for women who cook

I took a crap and made the entire bathroom stink and it smelled in the hall too, people on my floor were freaking out about the smell and started spraying stuff in the halls and bathroom and opened the windows, and in general freaked out.
I'm very proud.

I plan on avoiding every single remaining Christian Studies class for the rest of the year, otherwise my teacher may attempt to kill me (for skipping the past 2 months of classes)
Its a stupid rule, but that IS what the rulebook says. Washington had plenty of other oppertunities to win the game, and they didn't. a 35 yard PAT is not even that long of a kick...a good college kicker should hit that distance more than 80% of the time.
Hopefully, they change the rules for next season to allow the refs to use a little leeway...but thats what the book says.

What?
For what, pray tell? Will ye nay be posting?
It's a geographical field trip, lasting 5 days. We go to Heathrow airport and fly to Reykjavik. On the trip, we hike up volcanoes, go INTO a volcano (dormant of course
) see glaciers, and other cool things what I can't recall at this time. Should be awesome: I've always wanted to go to Iceland and freeze to death in an extremely cold locale! Best of all, some of my good friends are going, so if anything it will be a great time with the buds!

I heard Iceland is actually quite green, unlike Greenland, which is covered in ice.
Greenland was green when it was discovered by the Norse, though.
