I remember it well.  The game was crazy to begin with the huge lead changes, but we got absolutely robbed at the end of the first OT.  It is not the Razorbacks' responsibility to operate the clock.  Whitby read what was on the clock and hit the game-winner.  Then you take that away because you didn't start the clock on time?  It's a regrettable error, but denying the player who made a great play to correct your error is terrible officiating.  I will never be convinced otherwise.

On another note, this game went late because of the double overtime, and I saw Keith Wilson going to class the next morning.  (Impressive since he was clearly working on very little sleep.)  Anyway, I congratulated him and he just grinned really big.  It was a great win and one of the first signs that Hawgball was on the rise.
