Every college football referee dreams of seeing his name in the headlines. That's why they work hard all offseason, so they can be ready to take the game over when they get the chance. 
Wait… That's not right at all! Unless we're talking about the referees working the Missouri–Missouri State game, that is. Take a look at this play:

Missouri running back Damarea Crockett broke free from the Missouri State defense and sprinted 73 yards for the touchdown to put Mizzou up 54-35 in the third quarter. BUT WAIT! The side judge called Crockett's dive into the endzone "excessive celebration" and took the score away.
According to the NCAA rule, any action deemed “very demonstrative” or “taunting” before a player crosses the goal line will nullify the touchdown and add a 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul. This is absurd.
Instead of the touchdown, Missouri had to settle for a field goal. It probably won't materially affect the outcome of the game, but come on. Let the kid play.
