*** Official IOWA STATE vs #23 Texas Game(Day) THREAD ***

[CloneIce]

Insane. I don’t know what targeting is. What a load of BS this season has been.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Did anyone notice they said Hunter was down but then said the ruling on the field stands, Texas ball?

Yes, I posted this earlier.

Did they go into the review under the impression they had ruled it a fumble or ruled that he was down? It makes a big difference, because they need indisputable evidence to overturn whatever the call was on the field. Before he went to review, the head ref announced that the ruling on the field was Dekkers was down.

None of us should be surprised the ruling went against us there. Same as it ever was.

 

[HouClone]

Clones played well. Good to see the offense play well too. Congrats to Texas on the win.

That's EXACTLY what they said and did.

Maybe someday you’ll learn how to win a close game Matt. Pathetic when it matters.

Our fans are so ******* stupid.

 

[cyclonez7]

I don't understand how they don't even review the targeting

 

[BryceC]

Matt needs to spend the entire postgame talking about that targeting call. Just every question bring it back to that.

 

[HoustonClone]

Clones played well. Good to see the offense play well too. Congrats to Texas on the win.

I refuse to say "congrats" to a team who is given as much as the Longhorns. They "won" because they were given the game.

Lolll , how you feeling about your optimism. We have seen this same movie the last five years and especially in the last three games.

Dikk much?

 

[tim_redd]

Didn't the ref initially say the ruling on the field is down by contact? Or am I misremembering that?

This is the conclusion you reach after that? Get the **** out of here you Hok troll.

This sport is a ****** joke, Tom Brady falls down and it's a penalty but thst isn't. I'm completely losing interest in football.

 

[jsb]

Turnover margin.

**** Texas and **** the
Big 12.

 

[alarson]

This game does not boil down to that turnover. We had so many opportunities and failed to execute in big moments. The turnover before the half was costly, and the drop within the 10 yd line at the end there was really the game changer. You can't be upset with the refs when you've shot yourself in the foot multiple times.

This isn't how it works.

No team plays perfect.

A game is the matchup of one team and their strengths, weaknesses, and mistakes, vs another team and their strengths, weaknesses, and mistakes.

Outside factors from officiating that effect the natural result of that matchup absolutely can be complained about. And calls like that, at that point in the game, have massive effect.

ISU had chances. X dropping the TD, missed field goal, not stopping the run.

They were calling it fumble on the field and signalling as such.

Ref that got on the mic clearly misspoke

Don't forget when McLaughlin breathed on Ewers too hard in the first half and was flagged.

Our fans are so ******* stupid.

Him, Darius, and Zuri are always the worst.
