I had a conversation this morning with one of my best friends, who is a Marshall grad.  He pointed out that the MAC crew that worked the OU/Marshall game this year made what he expected to be the worst calls of the season.  Twice in that game, the referee called illegal motion penalties on the defense.  Not once, but twice! (one on each team).  He then admitted that last night's crew was even worse than the Herd/Cats game in Athens.

Out of morbid curiosity, I went back and looked at the official box score for that game.  Guess who the referee was?  Tom McCabe, the same guy that presided last night over the phantom offensive pass interference call on Matt Waters, the non-fumble fumble on Matt Waters and the NCAA Top 5 Worst Call of All Time safety on the 4 yard line. 

I just refuse to believe that this is a coincidence.  These are egregious errors.  Forget the outcome of the game, it is a national embarrassment for the MAC to trot this crew out for any other game.  They should be relieved of their duties now.   If they're under contract for the season, the rest of their games should be in Kalamazoo, Ypsilanti or Oxford.  They cannot be trusted to competently run a game involving any results that actually matter.
