Why would the Big 12 favor Missouri right now? Seriously. They are threatening to leave the conference for like the fifth time in the last year or so. Why would the conference want them to win?

Get a clue people. We got screwed on a few calls in the Baylor game, I agree. Today... we just plain suck! Without 3 Missouri turnovers it would be like 63-3 right now. Man up people. We're horrible.

Didn't Vegas put our over/under for wins at 3? Those bastards know what the hell they are doing. I was thinking about putting some money aside for abowl trip. What an idiot! At least our game against KU should be a good one. I was thinking we would roll them. Not thinking that anymore.

Big 12 refs = zero penalties on ISU opponents

3rd time this year we've played a penalty free team through 3 quarters...who averaged 7-11 penalties a game in all their other games.

Not saying ISU hasn't gotten jobbed by the refs at times this year but generally other teams not getting penalties is an indication of physically out manning a team. Especially for offensive holding calls. This game is a great example of that. If you can't put pressure on your not going to get calls. Of course you could say we're not getting pressure because they are holding. Definitely not the case today.

I dont think the refs are blocking for MIZ and making those 10 yard gaps, no thanks to our glorious 2 man Dline scheme we are running.

crazy fluke then, again.

UConn averaging 7 penalties a game, 1 for 5 yards against ISU...late in the game
Baylor averaging 11 penalties a game, 2 penalties against ISU...late in the game
Mizzou averaging 8 penalties a game, 0 so far, if there is one it will be late in the game

This doesn't even bring up our horrible % of being screwed on every single close review.

We're not a good team right now, but our opponents have some help from the officials. If you don't think so after looking at all the numbers and replays, you're the one with the tin foil hat on.
