I have been on the sidelines a lot

[dualthreat]

Did you even watch the game?? CPR had every right to be on the refs....

Im just saying... say.. If you saw Kirk Ferentz doing that during the iowa/isu game- or pelini or whoever... what would you say about them?

that they are just trying to keep the ref's in line? Everyone thinks their coach's manor isms are great but they see another coach doing the same thing and think he's a ******.

No you gotta manage those refs. But I'll give you that the UNLV coach's tirade from a few years ago, including tripping and falling was some awesome youtube. "GET ME THE ATHLETICS DIRECTOR!!!"

I've umpired in some games where I knew the "better" team was getting beat. At no time did I feel the need to help them out. In fact, that's when the "better" team usually starts making more mistakes.

I talked about this in the post game thread. Texas only had 3 penalties enforced on them for 25 yards. This is ridiculous as the "better" team, or the team that thinks it's better, will start pushing the envelope to try to get back into the game. They were down 3 scores in the 4th quarter! They're naturally going to start trying to bend the rules to get an advantage as playing straight up hadn't gotten them anyway.

I just watched the Mediacom replay of the game and the most egregious hold that wasn't called occurred on 2nd down of their last drive. It should have been a safety, their right tackle straight pulled our #90 (can't recall who it is right off) back away from Gilbert by his right arm. Would have made it a two possession game and ended it for all intents and purposes.

No way, NO WAY that they only committed 3 penalties in that game. No way.

Almost forgot about that. Now that was the poorest sportsmanship I've seen from a coach in a while. Closest thing for ISU was Eustachy getting booted at the end of that great 8 game against MSU. Tough to beat that UNLV coach though.:yes:

Crusing the internet since the win, it seems most opposing fans loved that about Rhoads on Saturday. The key is to not do it so much it loses its effect.

I've never seen so much ******** about refs after a win in my life. Refs are not out to get the Clones, get real people.

It was an awesome win, the players and the coaches sure as **** earned it.

No one is saying that. They're saying that the refs are trying to protect the powers that be, like Texas. You have to be out of your mind if you think that powerhouses don't get preferential treatment/benefit of the doubt from the officials.

People are not saying the refs are out to get the clones, but rather the refs were giving UT the benefit of the doubt. Ask any Big 12 team, and they will say that is feasable. Get it right Split, or get out.

We aren't the only fanbase that was complaning about the referees in that game.

This is true. I recall seeing a thread on TexAgs with many people commenting on how terrible the officiating was during the 2nd half.

While this may be the case, I'm getting really tired of the constant ref bashing... all the time, win or lose. OK, so Texas was getting a few calls this time, so be it. But they obviously suck at what they're accused of doing, because if they were as bad as some people in this thread are saying, UT woulda won going away.

Check out any thread after a close loss, FB or BB, and it's always, "The Clones are always jobbed by the officials."

And people ***** about Iowa fans "never losing".

Every fan base complains about referees. Lets not make this an Iowa thread please.

Look at me! Look at me! Look at Iowa!
Welcome to message boards.
People complain about Iowa never losing due to comments from the players as much as the fans, although they are much worse than ISU fans.
I am sure it was a tough weekend for you, but get over it.

Actually, I had a tailgating party with a bunch of my ISU classmates and was cheering hard for the Clones, so why would it have been that tough?

I'm sorry, crying about refs just gets really old, especially after a monumental win like this was.

[Yes13]

In the games I remember Rhoads complaining to officials (TTech, Utah, Texas) it helped, hurt, and had no effect on officials. In the Tech game after the OPI on Williams' would be TD. Rhoads was ******, and the next play we got an illegal hands to the face call for us. In the Utah game we got called for a bad PI call. Rhoads went off. We throw a 30 yard pass downfield the reciever was trying to come back to the ball while the defender never turned around, and made obvious contact. No call was made. In the Texas game we get held all game, and no hold gets called.

So it can help, but mostly it doesn't, however it does show the team that he is fighting for them. When I played bball in HS my freshman coach would get ******, and argue for calls for us. Our varsity coach wouldn't even blink at bad calls. Guess which coach I'd rather played for.

Holy **** I had never seen that before.. Was he really fist pumping that they scored or did it just appear that way?

To a "t" every Iowa fan I know has said "we were clearly the better team" regarding the Wisconsin loss. If I had a dollar for every loss in the Ferentz era I've heard at least one Iowa fan make that claim, I'd have $56.

 

[Enginerd]

I was on a Texas website today (barkingcarnival) and even they complained about two blatant calls that went UT's way (TD for Texas that was overturned and TD that was not called for ISU). Take also into consideration the offensive PI, the clock not starting, no hold calls on blatant tackles of Lattimer. Those are just off the top of my head.

We won and I am happy but the officiating in that game was not acceptable.

And if I had a dollar for every time ISU fans complained about officials after a loss in football or basketball, I'd probably be able to pay my tuition.

I'm just saying, the complaining is annoying. Iowa fans not giving other teams due is also equally annoying. It would just be nice, if for once, in a post-game thread, we didn't have to read about how the refs were trying to screw over ISU.
