Zebra Conspiracy

[IST8CIVILENGR]

Ok enough is enough ... The Zebra influence on the calls or no calls against us and not for us are ridiculous! I am not saying that they need to give us or " make up" calls like they do for seemingly every opponent we but they need to call it much more evenly or halfway fair. This goes for both FB and MBB.

Thoughts?

We don't matter enough in football for a conspiracy. We keep ourselves down.

Refs are awful, but not as a conspiracy. They just aren't good at the job.

 

[CycloneNorth]

There is no conspiracy. I think our fans, and all fans for that matter, have a typical negativity and confirmation bias.

 

[ISUKyro]

Something is going on that is for sure. That catch today was no catch at all in 3 different ways you look at it. Even the announcers are saying we are getting f ed in the a.

 

[erikbj]

Seems like the always have Texas accents too

 

[Clonehomer]

It does seem that when we play southern teams the refs all have Texas accents.

 

[BigLame]

The suckitude of the officiating is so bad, it can only be on purpose. I don't care what our record is or what others in the conference say.

If they were simply bad at their job we could expect Oklahoma and Texas and Kansas hoops to start loosing lots of games because of blown calls. Let me know when someone scores a 3 pointer on Kansas during a dead ball and we'll talk.

That was close on the catch, but a blind ref could have seen that hold on the TD run. Not saying there is a conspiracy, but it is pretty odd our opponent has the least penalty yards against them out of all FBS teams.

Couple of ways to combat this. Get out of the BIG 12 or be better. They are going to send the **** poor refs to the games that dont matter. The BIG 12 doesnt have the balls to stop the insanity either so that is why I consider that a solution. 3 straight plays of terrible calls is pretty amazing.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Oh there's an agenda against us. Forget the dropped pass/forced out of bounds argument. The no hold and ******** false start call back to back to back were "oh it's just Iowa State it's ok to **** up."

Yeah, when they let Kansas score a 3 during a dead ball, it's just confirmation bias. That happens all the time against KU. Texas would never get a review in their favor if their opponent's receiver clearly went out of bounds then bobbled the ball. You are an ostrich, I'm sure it helps you cope, wish I could delude myself like that.

They protect the very top teams. I've said that plenty of times.
They aren't protecting TCU. Nobody gives a rip about protecting bottom feeders.

At first I thought it was just theyre terrible at their jobs, but theres no way someone can be this bad.

You think refs are colluding to help a 3-6 TCU team (who still has to play Baylor) beat a 1-7 Iowa State team. I think you're doing a fine job of deluding yourself.

4 bad calls in a row. The "wide receiver was pushed out", the non-call hold that gave them the TD, the false start on ISU's offensive line for not being "set" even though no one was moving, and finally the chop block where the defensive player was running free and NOT engaged by another player. That was about 60-70 yards of missed calls in a 2 minute span.

Not to mention, I'm not eve sure the receiver caught that ball in the first place.

I'm not positive about this game or really any one particular game, I am absolutely positive we have the most overall crooked officiating in American sports unless you could WWE. It's not confirmation bias when Texas gets a yard added to every spot the entire game...the replay on that spot today was correct, the league is fixed that they never reviewed any of Texas spots.

 

[CycloneErik]

I blame Wally and the defense.

 

[Rural]

When the defensive back forces me out of bounds, I'm going to the restroom, hit the concession stand and come back and (supposedly) catch the ball.

 

[ThatllDoCy]

Zone read, QB hasn't kept once, and almost no gain.
