Already mentioned the one from the USC-Utah State game.
But Deadspin has come up with a big one from my general neck of the woods.
Mount San Antonio (Junior) College faced Ventura in a game tonight.
Ostensibly, Ventura won 34-29.
The big news of the game was two-fold.
The game featured TWENTY-NINE penalties for 290 yards, 19 of them for 205 for Mt. San Antonio.
Mt San Antonio committed SEVEN personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
One of which has gotten a player ARRESTED -- for PUNCHING THE REFEREE.

From the boxscore, I can basically try to construct the play:
About 6 minutes to go, third quarter, 28-23 Ventura.
For some non-particular reason, Schirmer knocks out the referee. The ref is trying to restrain two OTHER Mt. San Antonio players.
WHY WAS THE GAME NOT IMMEDIATELY FORFEITED TO VENTURA?
Are we so "The Show Must Go On, AT ALL COST!" that you can't just call the game off when it's clear the ref just got cold-cocked???
