Pleading No Contest

I have much better things to do right now, but I just had to do something to vent my anger ("LEEEZZ VENT!!!").

I'm watching the Ohio State at Purdue right now and there is about 8 and a half minutes left but it's basically over. The Bucks are down by 19, and by looking at the box score, you gotta say that Purdue is just the better team.

The problem is, and this is often the problem in college basketball games, this game was and continues to be so poorly officiated, it now fails to even be considered a form of competition. This game is like pleading no contest. It's a non game.

College kids are much more susceptible to outside shit like weird scheduling, home court, or poor officiating. When you're outplaying Purdue at their place and still losing because of at least seven obviously horrible calls against them. So horrible in fact, that the tone of the commentators doing the game was one of great sympathy after showing time after time, the ball going off Purdue and them receiving possession. Then, Purdue starts feeling good, hitting threes, more bad calls, more threes, game over. The Purdue crowd starts chanting, "We want Titus!"

I know exactly what you're saying. Quit complaining about the refs man up and play the game! Fine. That's a fine thing to tell your team as a coach because you can't say, "Oh well, just quit, we're getting hosed." But if I worked as in quality control for a company that made peanut butter and I allowed rat urine to be in about half of the jars, shouldn't the customer look at what he is eating before he eats? It's his fault he got sick from the rat pee!!! Oh wait, that is so stupid. Do your job.

Revenge of the Zebras!!!!
