I hate the popular phrase “my bad”. It is the most flippant excuse for an acknowledgment of fault that exists in our vernacular. Almost always delivered with a shrug of the shoulders, the phrase is essentially a way of saying, “I screwed up but what are you gonna do about it?” And that’s what the Big 12’s admission of error on the inexcuseable blown call in Saturday’s first overtime period has become to the Texas Tech football program.
“Our bad. But what can we do about it?”
For starters, how about we stop protecting the officials as if they are members of the witness protection program.
