YOU get some data and YOU get some data, EVERYBODY GETS SOME DATA
The last few days of Longhorn Twitter, Longhorn Forums, and Longhorn Friendster have been filled with complaints about referees. The motives ascribed to the refs have ranged all over the map and - aside from Dagga's impressive post - most has been emotional speculation without much data to support it. I saw Brian Davis' tweet earlier this week, and it got me to thinking about the seeming lack of publicly available penalty info in the Big 12. I'm between projects at work and I happen to have an indefensible amount of free time this week, so I decided to start pulling together some useful data on penalties in the Big 12.
