Are you talking about the play where the receiver pulled the defender down by his collar?
That's my thinking.
Incompetence is random, bias is consistent.
We aren't nonsensical crybabies, there really have been numerous officiating errors that have gone against ISU in multiple sports.
You can screw ISU with impunity.
Was one of the smaller crowds I have seen at a Big 12 game this year.(KU doesn't count). So if they were intimidated by that crowd they should all be fired.
This right here. The challenge is on.
Incompetence would mean easily verified balance, so let's see it.
How can you possibly explain the no touchdown call last week against OSU? We all forget about it cuz ISU won but there should have been fallout from that call. Haven't heard nothing but crickets.
Bad calls like a holding missed are one thing...but consecutive calls where on replay it is obvious what the call should be.. and wasn't... is an entirely other thing. Especially when you are talking 14 point swing..
That is inexcusable and not just "it happens in games"...No it really doesn't that much.
Let’s say we accept your premise…and by all means, I agree, the officiating was terrible, but are other teams experiencing this, or is it just poor Iowa State?
What no touchdown call vs OSU last week?
You mean the one where XH was flagged for taunting in what entire national sports media claimed was maybe worst call they've ever seen....ever. that one?
Only Iowa State! That is the thing, you and others want to say just don't make it close, but we are the only team who consistently has to deal with it. If you think it isn't then provide evidence. When have we benefited? I can list multiple games across multiple sports.
Those calls were not because its "ISU"...It was just a really really bad officiating crew..Maybe one of worst I've ever seen.
we won a game against a nobody in basketball with jamie vanderbeken shooting it after the clock it 0 like a decade ago haha -- that's one game I can think of
Its rare...Dan McCartney's last game is the only one that comes to mind.
The entire notion of “irrefutable evidence” and the call on the field is the problem. In cases like the touchdown and Breece fumble those guys have no clue. They don’t know what happened. I mean hell on the fumble one had a touchdown called. What’s wrong with just saying “we don’t know”, going over and deciding what you think is the most likely outcome based on the video.
The fumble call was absolutely terrible from the touchdown signal, to the other guy calling fumble, then letting it stand on the replay. They can say all they want there was no good angle and maybe I’m biased, but on the replay there are two possible outcomes. One, he was down, the ball did not cross the line and therefor no fumble. If he wasn’t down, then the ball clearly crosses the line before he fumbled it.
I will admit, you can’t see when it does come out and you cannot tell if he was down before he crossed the goal line, but the 30 times I’ve watched it, I don’t see any look that doesn’t show the ball cross the plane before you see it come out. Looking at that replay he is either down or it’s a touchdown. There is no look that makes a fumble possible. It’s almost like they said, we can’t tell if it was a touchdown or not, so we will let the fumble stand, the one call that the replay shows isn’t the right call.
Y'all still complaining about refs and ignoring the fact that a bad team put up 500 yards against us and drove the ball with ease.
But no! The refs are the only reason
But no! The refs are the only reason
A strongly-worded retort to the Big 12’s apology letter this week ought to do the trick.
Ok- the officiating was terrible…but my point still stands: our team has to find a way to over come it. WVU is not that good- it shouldn’t even have been close.
Complaining about it after the fact just makes us look like the ToE’s fans and we’re better than that. Every time we beat iowa (when we used to on a regular basis anyway)- those clowns always had two lines:
1. Bad officiating
2. If the game was played later in the season, we’d beat you.
I personally don’t want our fans to resemble anything related to hok fans. The officiating sucked, but we beat us, not the refs. Own it and move on. Don’t whine.
