Who doesn't, o Lord and Master of what us plebes may comment upon? @HFCS certainly understands that.
NOTEBOOK: On Jaylin Noel’s near TD on a kick return that was called back and more from ISU’s 28-21 loss to Kansas
- Thread starter The Rob Gray
- Start date
Ok explain how taking away 7 points and slowing the game down every penalty for a long discussion, even on basic holding calls, didn't effect the game?
Oh God yet another thread of extreme picking to one side.
Like almost everything in life, both things are true.
A) Getting the ball at your opponent’s 30 yard line and not getting any points is completely unacceptable.
B) That terrible call by the officials blowing that dead when it wasn’t even close is also completely unacceptable in today’s game when you can always go back and review a play. You let it go unless it was so obvious he was out. And having the ball at the 1 or 2 yard line as opposed to the 30 is a massive difference.
We should be able to overcome that call BUT that doesn’t excuse that we shouldn’t have had to overcome that call on that drive.

Looking at probabilities this one blown call in the original post most likely took away about 5 points from ISU in a 7 point game. That’s giving benefit of the doubt the rest of the game was well officiated.
That’s why no rational people are agreeing with you that officiating had no significant impact…and the video of how bad the call is. 5ish points in a 7 point game is worth acknowledging among adults.
The official was standing right there. How does he see something that didn't happen. We know the athletes sometimes bet on games. How about the officials?
That was no mistake. Nobody's that stupid.
As much as I was yelling, if you really do the slow mo it does appear he just barely stepped out.
No. Your vision is as bad as the referee’s. Kansas player missed and hit the out of bounds. Noel’s heels and feet clearly stay in bounds.
They held a lot in first half but we weren’t getting enough pressure to even force the calls. They got called for it in second half because our defense got more aggressive and they had some obvious holds right next to the qb.
This stuff is all interconnected, it’s so silly how a few weirdos have to compartmentalize it. For most of us talking about what we saw helps to vent but for a few it helps to construct an alternative world where it didn’t happen or didn’t matter.
Simply? The offense was struggling last night. It took us almost 9 minutes to dink and dunk for a TD drive. Don't discount how valuable that field position swing was.
Either way the refs I believe the refs are supposed to let it play out and then review if something is questionable.
I'm not on board with this being the difference. ISU was bad and the 80 yard late TD is an example of how KU would have found other ways to burn the defense.
But the refs didn't follow protocol and that deserves criticism.
Ref should be fired. Terrible call and blowing whistle to insure ISU did not score was premeditated. Refs had word in high that lifting KU up is good for marketing and tv coverage. Yorkie has his faves to build B12 - ISU is not on the list. You can call me crazy but so what. Your opinion don’t matter either!
At least, that makes sense. Blow it dead, and it is dead. So, it's more like inept officials instead of corrupt officials. Semantics, but at least, it makes sense.
FWIW, even with the inept officials, ISU had a terrible game plan and executed it poorly. They laid an ass egg last night. They did not coach or play well enough to win.
Besides that, I still had a great time in Ames visiting with some old friends at their Tailgate before the game. It just blows me away how much better the ISU football experience is now compared to when I was in shcool last century.
Let's Go State!
Forget it. Cyhig is too mature to understand that two things can be true at once.
You need your eyes checked, my friend. And please don't ever officiate any games...
Yeah. This should have been a situation where we get the TD anyway like in the Okie St game with X that you mentioned. I remember how that really fired up the team from there on out and we won that game despite that terrible call.
The guys last night played tight from the start, and when things didn't go our way they got even more rattled.
But we're young and that happens with young teams. I hate we lost a winnable game last night but there's still a lot to play for the last three games here.
Found the apology note from the officials.
"Sorry. We thought this was a KU basketball game. Our bad."
"Sorry. We thought this was a KU basketball game. Our bad."
Where did I say we lost because of the call? Nobody knows what would have happened the rest of the game but it's obvious they took away 30 yards from Noel.
Yes, you are correct. They only erased 7 likely points for ISU and the game was lost by...... looks in the paper, well looky here, 7 points.
I can play that game too. Like I've said before, we did not play perfectly, but that does not disallow a team from having the chance to win a game. If so, we'd have 30% tied games every week.
Be the big tough, "be better" guy if you'd like. That's for the players and coaches. The rest of us can complain about the obviously horrendous calls on the field all we want. That is pretty much all we can do other than donate.
