Someone asked me how I knew Clete Blakeman after I said he screwed the Buffs at Iowa State many years ago. But I can’t remember the details. Something wonky about the clock at the end of the game. Can someone refresh my memory?
 
He is also a former Fusker QB, so the fact he could ref in the Big 12 (and I believe he did ref some Fusker games) always seemed like a massive conflict of interest right there...
I just watched the 1986 game and he played the fourth quarter which brought this up.
 
This. Winding the clock and then holding the ball until time expired so that a team that was ready to run the play was a choice. It was bull****, and I'm still pissed about it.
Yep. Only two refs that I truly know by name. Him and Verne Harris from the Arizona Chen game. Can spot that guy immediately when I turn the tv on.
