Myles Brand needs to get off his ass, quit worrying about mascots, and announce today that all officiating will come under the control of the NCAA. The whole confrence officials deal has always been ripe for abuse and conspiracy theorys. What does the NCAA exist for if not for things like assigning and regulating officials.
This is something I'm always shocked at in March. There is no reason that the smaller confrences that usually only get one bid, but have a regular season champ nearly sure to get an at large bid, not to fix the confrence tourney final to try to get a second bid.

And THE worst, (w/ 3.5 min left) McCoy runs off tackle for a first down, past #88 again (with perfectly legal blocking), long after he runs past the first down marker, a flag comes flying in. Easily the most suspicious call of them all.
I can't remember if it was the first or second one, but as the offense came off, they showed "the stache" take 88 and you could tell he was basiclly telling him the call was bull[censored] and he had a good block.

Sure but I think if you take a look at a team like South Florida or Pitt, you'd find a lot more issues.
Again, if WVU had proven that they laid an egg but consistently beat good teams before, I'd say it was a choke. But the fact of the matter is, they've consistently been beaten by good/semi-good opponents from out of conference and even from their sorry conference schedule. I don't know if they'd be better than this year's Illinois if they played in the B10.
