I'm sorry guys, but the officiating took another bizarre turn for the worst tonight in the Texas vs Iowa State game. I'm not talking about the interference calls most of which were deserved (poor technique), but I am talking about how the Texas line tackled, held, laid upon and snatched the jerseys of the Iowa State pass rush all night with only 1 holding call that I can remember. But even that didn't cost the Cyclones the game. But at the goal line the ball was stripped and the Iowa State defender was literally 3 steps down the field on the slow motion replay (and it was reviewed) before the whistle blew. It was clear. That didn't stop the Big 12 crew from awarding the ball to Texas at the 1 yard line in what would prove to be the game winning touchdown and extra point with .51 seconds left in the game.

If this was the only example of what is beginning to smell like fixes this year I wouldn't be suspect. But it is the third such game I've witnessed already. What did you think?
