Isn't Usechek one of the better Officals in the Big 12 ?

You know, the same referee (Usechek) that Callahan made the throat slash 
gesture to (and signaled a first down for Oklahoma in the 2000 KSU-Nebraska 
game) was also on hand for one of the worst non-calls I've ever seen. Wasn't 
the missed face mask call on Crouch that same KSU-Neb game in 2000? Anyone 
remember the photos of Crouch's helmet completely turned the opposite 
direction with a KSU defender's hand grabbing the face mask? I can't believe 
Crouch wasn't injured on that play. If I recall correctly, that play was at 
the very end of the game, and that was in fact the same game Usechek thought 
he was actually officiating an OU game.

On a side note, the ref from the '93 Orange Bowl (loss to FSU after a TON of 
questionable calls) used to live around here in upstate NY around the time 
of that game. Anyway, I don't remember seeing him at any games after that 
game, and he popped up in an Arena2 league game a couple years ago. Maybe he 
was banished? I'm pretty sure he never worked a big college game after that 
fiasco in the Orange Bowl.
