Not sure if this has been brought up and I just couldn't find it but is there a rule of players not being able to talk to the officials or was the ref (same bald guy that called Jeremiah George's turnover down) just a complete d-bag like all other Big 12 officials?

Also, why isn't there a rule where officials cant coach the same conference year after year? They should have a yearly rotation of conferences the officiate.
 
He did not say "don't talk to me". He said "don't talk", and then turned his mic off and finished what he was saying. Pretty sure he was just going to say "don't talk to me while the mic is on"
 
The holding call didn't even matter since we ran a 3 yard screen on 4th & 9.

If we're being completely honest, the yardage was there for the first down. The receiver just happened to slip and fall three yards downfield.
 
I was more ****** when Boykin ran for a TD to start the 4th and go up 38-21 there was a questionable hold on that play that wasn't called and some guys around us in the SE corner were yelling at the ref about it and the ref turned around after the extra point and put his finger up to his mouth and shushed them.
 
So, I guess I don't know all of the nuances of a holding penalty, but it looked like he pushed him into the ground, is that really holding?

Just pushing a guy to the ground is not holding. If you fall/land on him and don't immediately make an effort to get off of him, then they can call a hold; you're not allowed to pin a guy to the ground. Or they may have seen a "normal" hold before they went to the ground. I didn't see the play so I don't remember how it happened.

You realize that these guys all have regular jobs, right, and tend to live in the geographic area where they officiate?

Why would a guy that lives in California want to ref in the ACC all year?
 
Why would a player even think asking while the ref is making the announcement would be the appropriate time? And I'm pretty sure only captains are supposed to be talking with refs about calls anyway.

The Big 12 and the Mountain West (and one FCS conference, I don't recall which one) have an agreement to share officials. The reason we tend to see the same officials year after year is because they generally work as crews - work better being on the same "team" - and, the best crews get the Big 12 games, generally.

They are evaluated constantly, and the best get the better games, which, in this case, are the Big 12 games. That's how it works in theory, at least.

And the Big Ten works with the MAC and Missouri Valley. It's all based on geography, as it should be. This is why you see the same basketball officials working Big Ten and Big XII games over, and over, and over again.
