Column: Why officiating is like the weather

Wow - what a weekend. In some ways it still feels surreal that we’ve got Big Ten football back. In others, it feels like we haven’t skipped a beat.

However, in one very painful moment, it felt like the Buckeyes’ last game — the College Football Playoff semi-final — was just yesterday. That moment came when FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt commented on the targeting call against Shaun Wade that came in the game against Clemson last December. My insides boiled and I felt hot as I thought back to that moment when Wade was ejected from the game on what I still maintain (and Klatt agreed) was a garbage targeting call.
