They are going to lose my household after the Ohio State, Xavier game on 
Saturday.  It looked like the foul on the Ohio State
player against the Xavier player with 9 (?) seconds to go was 
intentional with the way that the OSU player shoved him out of
bounds.  I can hear the voices saying "It could have gone either way" or 
"Let them play" or "Refs shouldn't decide the outcome of the game" but 
in my opinion, it sure looked like a bad call to me. It might be me, but 
in my opinion, the quality of officiating has diminshed over the last 
few years.
