Re:West Virginia/Baylor last week...

In their game Saturday, where the Mountaineers upset the 6-0 Bears 41-27, West Virginia gained 456 yards, Baylor gained 318, and the referees "gained" 353 yards in penalties. That's ridiculous, even if every foul was legitimate. To quote Allen Christensen's tweet from the game (courtesy of Holly Anderson of Grantland), "Ref asked #WVU fans to stop throwing objects on the field. THE FANS ASKED THE REFS TO STOP THROWING ITEMS ON THE FIELD!" How cool is that? We have zero sympathy for Baylor's team, having used curious clock construction to pull off the comeback against TCU the previous week, but c'mon! 353 yards of penalties? No administrator would stand for his subordinate penalizing employees like that without dealing the issue other ways...why are officials any different?
