I have misplaced my pants.
The holding thing goes all the way back to JoePed's handpicked refs. According to Pitt fans from the day, whenever another team would get a good drive rolling in the erector set, the refs would start calling holding. The pedsters were conditioned to expect all these holding calls on the other team, so when they didn't get them in the Big Ten: CONSPIRACY!
How does that account for the Penn State dinguses (dingusses? dingii?) who are my age (38) who weren't yet in college when they joined the Big Ten? They have been in the Big Ten more than half of their lives. Do they really remember "life before the Big Ten?" Or do they just hear the "old-timers" complaining about holding and use the mob-mentality to whine about it, too?
