Been a great day so far!
  • Our men beat #12 Baylor.
  • Our women beat 12-1 Texas Tech on the road.
  • Big 12 moves on to the national championship game.
Hopefully, my day will be capped off with an Ohio State loss and the Big 10 going home with their participation trophies.

About the targeting and SEC Refs.

I think SEC refs are lousy much of the time. I also think that was targeting. However, SEC refs do not call it as much as they do in other conferences. For example, in the Alabama @ Tennessee game, Bryce Young was brutalized the whole game including almost being decapitated a couple of times with no flags. Not an issue though, as they didn't call it the other way either. Just wanted to point out, they are not as hair trigger about that rule like we are use to seeing in the Big Xii where you touch a guy with a feather, and it is called. Once again, SEC refs suck, but they are usually not trigger happy about targeting, because there would be nobody left to play if they were!

Again since we're still arguing about targeting, why wasn't there a forward pass flag before that?
Even if it's called targeting wouldn't it still have been TCUs ball if the refs would have called that?
It was behind the line of scrimmage so I thought it was fine. Could be wrong but that was what I thought

Not exactly sure.

You do know that they have different conferences for the replay booth, don’t you? It was not SEC review guys.

I personally don't care about money that's not my responsibility to worry about, the only thing I care about is ISU doing good. And it's my opinion that conference opponents winning championships makes that harder for ISU.
Wow, you are digging yourself a deeper hole everything you say. How do you think ISU stays relevant? Pays for stuff? Maintains the program? How do you think the Big 12 does? Are you really this dense?

The ball never crossed the line of scrimmage and hadn't been passed forward before that, correct?

Bad snap… lose ball… picked up and passed. What is illegal about that?

Wouldn’t they offset?

He was five yards behind the line of scrimmage on the pass.

I really respect your opinion most of the time and I do see your point and sort of feel the same way.

But, I temper that feeling with this basic fact.

It is exceedingly harder to beat other teams when you can't field a team due to lack of finances.
