'That's what you're going with?'
Disturbing. Appalling. Unsettling. That pretty much sums up my decision to re-watch Sunday's game. Trips put a nice bow on it, except for the part about making me look at how open Gary Johnson...

They (meaning most likely an inconsiderate social media intern working for the St. John's athletic department) actually said this. In recognition of their tainted victory I doubt many Rutgers fans will be buying Vitamin Water any time soon (as Mike Repole is a major St. John's booster.) On that same note, ESPN's Eamonn Brennan mistakenly thinks that Tim Higgins should be forgiven. That would be unthinkable. This was not an isolated incident where an otherwise-superb official made one awful error, such as when Jim Joyce blew Armando Galarraga's perfect.game. Higgins is a terrible official, as is Jim Burr. The end of the Rutgers/St. John's game was only the latest in a pattern of egregious errors for each. Neither has any business ever working a Big East conference game again.

Big East officials blow a game: Part 9,000
When you have Tim Higgins and Jim Burr working the same game, there's a 99.8% chance that something like this is going to happen. The Big East almost deserves this. This is only one of three...
The unholy trio
If you have children near the monitor, I'd ask that you send them to their rooms or to a place where they can be spared from what you're about to see. Tonight, Freedom Hall welcomes... JIM ED ...
