Great Thefts In History Episode I...

January 3 2003 - Tempe Arizona - The Fiesta Bowl - NCAA National Title Game - Miami Vs. Ohio State

Miami led 24-17 in the first overtime, and the Buckeyes faced fourth-and-3 at the Hurricanes' 5. Ohio State quarterback Craig Krenzel threw into the right corner of the end zone for Chris Gamble, but CB Sharpe broke up the pass as the receiver reached back for the football. Miami's players and coaches(even Warren Sapp) ran on the field to celebrate what they thought was the school's sixth national championship. But then field judge Terry Porter(the hated one) threw a flag what seemed to be minutes after Krenzel's incomplete pass hit the turf, and Sharpe was penalized for pass interference. It took officials several minutes to restore order and get the fans off the field. Three plays later, Krenzel dove into the end zone to send the game into a second overtime, in which the Buckeyes won 31-24.

Terry Porter you are Wanted for stealing the NCAA title for the 2002 season. You are worse than a shoplifter in my eyes. Terry, I would not give you a security tag if you had a store full of leather jackets and nothing between them and the street other than an aspiring shoplifters conscience.
