F*** The Refs!

From tv angle it looked like it was hooking no good and maybe over the upright. I thought it was missed live.
What about the constant holding by their O line?
The weirdest call might have been on that punt return where they either didn’t assess the penalty yards or were a full five yards wrong spotting the ball.
Iowa made a huge play on first down but maybe different play call if they were in 2.5 yard line as would have been correct.

“Big Ten Refs are one of the following:
1.) incompetent
2.) on the take
3.) Both”

I think this has been explained like 10 times.
The best view is the ref right under the post. He didnt flinch so i assume it was ok.
Wonder if you could put a laser pointer on top of post and then if it shone on the ball you would know it "touched" the infinite upright?

Also left out a clear hold on Eskildsen, I think, on a 3rd down pass, and the long pass to Overby that was right on the money but dropped because he could only use one hand since his other arm was being held by the d-back. Two potential long pass plays broken up by defensive holding/PI that went uncalled.
Im pretty sure Iowa State had to punt after the incompletion to Eskildsen, I don’t remember how the drive with the pass to Overby played out, but both of those situations would have almost certainly resulted in at least three points if the penalties were called.
Ryan Harklau said it went directly over the upright. TV reply looked like it was hooking worse as it went by

IF ONLY RULES EXPERT MIKE PEREIRA MIGHT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ON TO EXPLAIN THIS WHEN IT HAPPENED.
Seriously, they pay this guy to be their broadcast rules expert; talk about a penalty flag resulting in Iowa’s drive starting at the 2 1/2 yard line, which is what Joel Klatt said just before they went to commercial; then come back with Iowa lined up at the 5 with zero reference to the prior penalty - and they don’t even go to Pereria to give us an explanation.
Maybe they figured everybody would just forget during the interminable 4 minute commercial break.

Was that the long pass to Overby where his arm was being held and he couldn’t haul in the perfect throw by Rocco with one hand? That was such a glaring PI that went uncalled, but I didn’t remember how that drive turned out.
Like, textbook definition of kick catch interference.
When did this change? Saturdays is inside the outside edge, Sundays is entirely inside the inside edge when going over uprights. So the ball can go over the upright and still be good on Saturdays.
Haven't read the full thread yet but watch the final 4th down play. Most blatant hold you will ever see in your life, no call.
And what was with all the clock resets? Almost all of those benefited Iowa too.
Pereira may have been buzzed in on a different game at the time? I don't know how that works, but he's definitely not locked in on one game only at a given time on Saturdays or Sundays.
