I never call out the refs

**ISUAlum2002** · 09-16-2011, 10:35 PM

The officiating was completely absurd tonight. 1 penalty called on UConn....and it was a glaringly obvious off-sides that they damn well wouldn't have called if they didn't have to.

Meantime, Shontrelle (I think it was) damn near gets his head unscrewed by his facemask...flags fly, then they pick them up.

So UConn managed to not hold one of our defensive linemen all night, they didn't block ANYONE in the back on those punt returns, they didn't have a receiver block a guy in the back.....they didn't have ANY d-linemen FALL on Steele after the play was over.....?

Horrible job out of those guys. Terrible.

Totally hear you guys, wtf, late hit on Jantz missed call was terrible, hand-fighting is not pass interference

How that didn't get called, I do not know. Just awful. On the next play White got his head ripped off too.

Iowa State -10 penalties for 86 yards
UConn - 1 penalitie for 5 yards

Do the officials think if they screw the Big 12, that if the Big 12 folds they can move to the Big East.

I thought I was watching All-Star Wrestling win Steele was on the ground and there guy pounced on them 3 seconds later, with no flag.

Refs suck, but lets focus on the win. Let Iowa ***** about the refs tomorrow.

Great job guys and position us well for the next several weeks!

Go Clones!

If I'm JP, I'm sending this game film to the conference to have the refs called out.... although, there may not BE a conference by the time they get the game film to them

The good news is that we are making progress as a team when there is such an imbalance of penalties and we still win.

**UNIGuy4Cy** · 09-16-2011, 10:37 PM

In my 29 years worst officiated game ever. Here is to the good guys!

That one really stuck out to me as well, the officiating was incredibly one sided

**LindenCy** · 09-16-2011, 10:38 PM

They were Big 12 refs weren't they?

**cycloneG** · 09-16-2011, 10:38 PM

i think these officials were trying to get in good with the Big East so they have somewhere to go when the Big 12 ends

I was there. It sucked. Sooooooo many Michigan state fans being that it was in detroit. Pretty sure the refs were intimidated as the crowd was huge.

**Wesley** · 09-16-2011, 10:39 PM

We proved it may still be possible even when the refs are totally one sided.

That's what it seemed like; their audition to move to the Big East. No problem, we're 3-0!

How in the hell did their QB not get called for intentional grounding near the end of the game when I think pat neal had him sacked and he practically spiked the ball. It nearly went backwards for a fumble too.

I could not believe that!!
