I can remember poor ZebraFrog explaining that the Officials are the biggest fans of the game you could imagine, and that they take their charge as "Guardians of the Game" very, very seriously. He also used to take painstaking care in explaining to many how what we were seeing had an explanation that did not involve crookedness, or bias, but only our misunderstanding of the mechanics of officiating. There were also times in which he was quite critical of Officials for either not being in the right place to see something, or being too cowardly to stand up for what was right.
In this case, the BIGXII Offices have a real problem on their hands. The Whelp of Walt is running a crew that has screwed over the Frogs twice running now. That such nepotism is taking place is unsurprising, but what is surprising is the lack of competence seen in this crew. Yes, they did a number on us, over and over, but the nature of the calls were near-comical in their ineptitude. While I am aware that the BIGXII has never been thought of as being the Acme of Officiating, we weren't the nadir, either. I thought getting rid of that awful Obama Ref was a step in the right direction (Heh. Now he's the B1G's problem!), but it seems we've slid two steps back with this new imbecile and his gang of thieves.
Randy Christal and his gang had it in for the Frogs. They screwed us out of our first BIGXII game (vs. Iowa State), and probably the biggest BIGXII game to date (You know which game that is). The only good thing about that [ "illegitimate Baylor boy" ]'s career was his retirement. Good riddance. It absolutely annoys me that there is another crew that will be a monstrous impediment for the Frogs going forward.
