Texas lost on Saturday on a batch of calls that even the most hardened Sooner fan would admit were a little questionable. To the rest of the conference, it was more of a "ho-hum, Big 12 Refs" moment, but apparently Texas is unaccustomed to such a display of bad calls. One of my personal favorite SB Nation sister sites, Barking Carnival, wrote a scathing review of the officials that can be summarized as, "The officials were so terrible it was like it they did it on purpose!"

The rest of the Big 12 rolled its collective eyes, and here in Ames we pointed to our infamous "Apology Wall."

So here we are. @Big12Refs has been an active Twitter account for over 2.5 years and Texas FINALLY gets why. But you're not alone Texas, there are others who have been a little slow to come around.

Here's some examples:
