Sideline Rules (in KU/OU game)
- Thread starter Cycsk
- Start date
Part of the reason is the score table so close. Frankly Phog Allen is a **** hole glorified high school gym with a lot of history. Every time i go to a game there it is so uncomfortable as the pack 20 people into a row made for 10. Fans are loud but sound even louder because you have the loudest sound system in the world blaring music in your ears.
No traveling can be called. Just learned another new part of the rule:
"The thrower-in must keep one foot on or over the designated spot untilthe ball is released. Pivot foot restrictions and the traveling rule are notin effect for a throw-in."
From the most current NCAA rulebook.

I can't argue with much of that. Fat people and tall people both find the seats to be very restrictive. I am 6'2" and have thanked my family after every game for getting our seats on the aisle this year. And the sound system is offensively loud.
Ha! My wife and I were thinking the same thing as Vitale was orgasming over the loudness of the "crowd" during one of the breaks. How much is real crowd noise, and how much is just noise from the sound system...
Sure, theyre not robots.
In theory if all were equal, there'd be an equal number of games where KU had legitimate gripes about the officiating. That doesnt happen.
Instead almost always these kinds of calls tend to go in KU's favor. Any game KU is close to losing, you can almost see the refs flying in to make beneficial calls for KU and calls stop happening in the other direction.
They teach you in junior high that the defender cannot break the inbounds plane. This play was so blatant it wasn't even funny. I didn't even think it was debatable. His arms were not straight and his toes were right on the edge of the endline. Then as the pass is made, the KU defender magically had a foot out-of-bounds.
I suppose that is a call you won't ever get on the road against KU. I was surprised displacement was called at the end of regulation though. Should have made the free throw.

Again, the refs HANDED the game to OU on a silver platter at the end of regulation by ignoring the forearm to Mason's head when he drove to the rim and instead calling a cheap over the back on Kansas. OU just choked on it and missed the front end of the one and one and the game went to OT. So much for your "flying in to make beneficial calls for KU" crackpot scenario.
I had to mute the game many times last night. Vitale is an unwatchable mess. At one point he was talking about his wife's soup and several times he missed explaining what happened in a critical play because he was blabbing about a meaningless story that his diarrhea of the mouth could not stop sharing.
You've said this a couple times now, and you're wrong. Lucus running over Lattin was blatant displacement. Was the forearm to Mason a missed call? Yes. The foul on Lucas was absolutely the right call.
Clear evidence they missed the call here on the in bounds pass.

The goal tending was obvious too...
Close
Should we just give KU the hardware now?
I don't really care about the 3ft thing in this case. It's not even in the rule book.
The egregious mistake was Mason being over the line and making multiple contact with Heild. The gift of the Big 12 Title began and ended with that play. I don't see anyone else with enough horsepower to knock them off at home. I think we'll split with them this year and OU will beat them at their place. Probably be their only two losses.

Lol, just like a couple years ago, KU fans point out minor misses (or even actually legitimate calls) to try to even out major misses. The balance of calls is far, far, far in KU's favor. Not even close.
As the game went along, I kept waiting for the big call from the ref that would give KU an advantage. Sure enough, it finally came.
