Tech vs Texas; lousy officiating thus lousy outcome

Note to the officials calling the game, when it came down to calls against Tech - "you lied"! Even Joe Wilson would have been all over your officiating butts tonight, guys, because your calls just plain'ole sucked. You guys made Austin stink like a sewer swamp. Texas did not beat Tech...you, the officials, and your bad calls beat Tech. Your lousy calls beat Tech down until the Red Raiders knew they could not beat Texas because you guys were not going to allow it; you came into tonight's game with your pockets already lined with that "Texas Gold". It was apparent that the officials had the beat-down ready against our Red Raiders. I am tired of the officiating always being lopsided and bad for opponents going into A-town to play versus the 'horns. I know, I know, most ppl would say that fans of a defeated team always call "bloody murder" against the officials when their respective team suffers a loss. That fans blame the officials rather than their team for the game loss. I can & will agree that Tech did incur many penalties against themselves, but not that damned many -c'mon!!! One such stupidly called penalty was against our Tech defensive player who clearly did not grab that UT player's face mask, he merely brushed it with his fingertips. You should have let it go, officials, but no - you called it and cost Tech 15 lousy yards. Another unjust penalty to pile onto the several unjust penalty yards you had already called against Tech and would continue to unfairly call until the end of the game.
As for the penalties that went ignored by you knuckleheaded officials against UT (and there were many), that was totally a huge mis-use of your power & authority. The most important & obvious penalty against UT that went ignored tonight by the officials was the "leading with the helmet" (or "helmet to helmet") by the UT defender against Tech's QB, Taylor Potts. It was a nasty, blatant, and classless play by the UT defender which the officials should have caught and called. I am just glad that Potts was okay following that ignored penalty. Even the ABC commentators saw it and stated that it was a penalty that needed to be called. That is was created for a specific reason (safety reasons, DUH!)and needed to be upheld, implemented, and called each and every time. Brent Musburger even added that officials needed to be more consistent in calling it. It was indeed a momentum changer. In this blogger's opinion, it surely cost Tech the game as the players finally realized that there was no way they were going to be able to beat UT because the officials were not going to allow it. No, sir, not tonight...not in Austin, and surely not Mack Brown's team. I hope the officials are happy...they should be ashamed. But that is very doubtful!!! I am not sure who has the officials more in their pockets, Mack or Bob Stoops.
