I thought that game was one of the most ineptly officiated games I've
seen in years, but at least the bad calls seemed evenly distributed.

Did I miss the ceremony marking the canonization of Gary Barnett by 
ESPN this fall?

Okie State was outclassed and outgunned probably right from the coin 
toss.   Not the best day of the bowl season.
