The infamous holding call

I'm sure that's what you came here for, you worthless ****Good talk
Of course you haven't. uofi isn't used to having game called correctly against them.
The referees screwed up big time. Even Iowa fans will admit it
You can only get a first down in college football by catching a pass lol
Wife’s nephew goes to Iowa. He can get two season tickets for football last year. Want him to bring a buddy. Sounded like this year he could get his and two additional season tickets. Not selling out.
So great, we’re now all in agreement we all misunderstood the play or rule, but per the rule agree that the call on the field, inconsequential as it was, was indeed correct.
Emphasis on the inconsequential part.
I came to understand your perspective. I get it now. You, personally, are a bad representative of ISU.
I am far from worthless. I hope you find value in our own life, work, and all things not related to a game which is played by young adults who are provided a scholarship.
Again, good luck the rest of the way.
The only calls I have an issue with were the helmet to helmet, and the allowing an injured player to return before a play is ran. Reason being is the officials cannot get objective things correct.......then how do we expect them to be unbiased on subjective things? The helmet to helmet is something I have been harping on because it was put there to prevent defenders from leading with the helmet regardless of what the offensive player is doing. And like I said in previous posts, after reviewing they have the option of waving it off. They didn't of course even throw a flag to take a look. Why have the rule? Holding and PI are bang-bang subjective calls.....although the take down by #65 is priceless. How he got away with that for almost ten yards is well....wow. But penalties like that can be called almost every play. But not helmet to helmet. And they blew it, hence anything else they did/did not do in that game becomes fair play. You can't be half ignorant. And if those officials were the best the Big Ten has......the conference has a problem.
So just to be clear if they don't call the phantom holding call on that 4th down ISU would have gotten the first down and been in position to run down the clock and kick the game winner correct?
Again, I offered my thoughts, but I can reiterate. 1) I cannot tell if the ISU player who goes to the ground along with the IOWA player is grasping the IOWA player or not. This could be a true hold or it may be due to the DL being taken to the ground. I have watched both angles and cannot tell. 2) Yes, if the holding hadn’t happened, ISU could have run down the clock or they may have fumbled. That is not an unreasonable assumption given the prior results. 3) What are the chances that the kicker makes it?
If you run through all of these variables, the likelihood of the result that you desire continues to decrease. I don’t live in a world of hypotheticals. None happened. What did happen is ISU got a re-do on 4th down and your QB threw it to an IOWA player. IOWA then relinquished possession and ISU fumbled.
The refs did not cost you this game. Go win your next one and find peace with reality.
The hit wasn't on a defenseless player. The rule clearly states that just because there is helmet to helmet contact doesn't make it an automatic penalty. Also, I'm pretty sure that if a player is injured and the opposing team calls a timeout, there is no requirement to sit out a play. If the injured player's team calls a timeout, they are still required to sit out one play.
Jesus, CyTwins……...Your act is getting old. There was a questionable holding penalty at an inopportune time. It was hardly "infamous". There were numerous chances for the Cyclones to win this game by doing something that was in their own control. Instead, you will pick one item, declare it the Gospel and talk about it for the next 12 months. Last year it was the cancellation game, the year before it was Iowa's Superbowl, this year it's a holding call.
Can't we just discuss what the Cyclones can do to win this game and get rid of this constant drivel.
