So I want to make sure I get your argument right. Your argument is that the refs are biased towards Baylor and therefore decided before the game that they were going to ensure Baylor won?
I think ref bias is a lot more common in sports than actually fixing games. But I doubt it looks like “ok guys, let’s go get ___ that win!”
Who are the ref apologists here? Because saying “the refs were incompetent” and “Iowa State didn’t do themselves any favors” isn’t being an apologist
Truly incredible that we only lost by 7 pts given these 2 states. View attachment 103610
Disgusting. My blood is still boiling.That was targeting and he should have been disqualified. Baylor had 4-5 of them in the game that met the definition but nothing called.
"when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth'
Fix is impossible.
Incompetence knows no team color.
So what remains........bias?
The game was not fixed, see both of J Brock's "touchdowns". Just stop.
Fix is impossible? LOL

Consistent one sided incompetence is actually impossible by definition.
A biased ref is a certainty, everybody has biases.
A fix is possible.
No.......not at all. That is what most think.......right? So eliminate it and think of what else, however improbable could explain it. You come to bias which in my book is just as bad as fix.
We are agreeing. My post is for those who think it isn't, and that there is no difference in the end between either.
The booth guy trumps the on field guys. Anyone know who the booth guy was for this one?Did anyone else think it was odd when the ref came back on the targeting call and did not announce the targeting was confirmed, but said the replay officials have determined targeting, or something like that. I know the ref's on the field didn't call it, but I wonder if the referee disagreed with the booth, but got overruled? I was at the game and I thought it sounded strange at the time.
