Pardon me if I only address your substantive points.
c) Looking at the video again, Barrett's hand actually never touches the ground on or after the 15-yard line. Looking at this photo though, the ball was even further behind his outstretched left hand... and the 15-yard line.

d) I understand the subjectivity of PI rules. I haven't said anything about holding calls. In fact, the only two calls I really care about are the missed DPI and spot in overtime.
e) I don't keep saying Michigan was the better team. I've said that the two teams are roughly equal, OSU maybe a little better.
f) "... it is absolutely reasonable for people from in state to referee a game." I simply disagree with your opinion.
Okay, one unsubstantive point:
a) "People said that UM fans were whiny prior to the game." "People say" a lot of things. People say Ohio fans are assholes, for example.
Let it go. Quit whining about the whiners and egging them (me) on. Ohio won a big game because the refs handed them an undeserved victory. Be grateful and gracious. Don't gloat. The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner. Don't be that guy.
