Announcing leaving the Big XII, in 3 years, is like announcing getting a divorce and living at the house for three years. Living, eating and sleeping, with a jilted spouse! Good luck with that.
We are getting crushed by officials who are already terrible. Now, I am not saying they cost us the TCU game. We were terrible on offense. But you can bet our OL has been beaten up every practice about not holding. If one simply touches the other team, here comes the laundry. Hell, we had two ‘hand to face’ calls for thirty yards. One replayed was a total joke. We were flagged for defensive delay of game. Really? And the WRs were routinely mugged with no call. One in the fourth quarter was egregious and cost us a scoring opportunity. Watch n SEC game or Big Ten and the difference in officiating screams. When they do review, it takes two minutes. In the Big XII, a review is cause for nothing warm up period. Nd they review everything. This is a recurring theme. Not as obvious, watch the ball spots. We get chumped a half yard on every other spot. I know, better than most, that officiating discrepancies are part of the game. But, unless we are prepared to suffer in noisy silence, we need to cut the cord and get on to the SEC. This will be worse next year ne the next. Bet on it.
