Hearing back from Bowlsby/Big 12 Screwjob

[SpokaneCY]

Explain to me if your a player and you just got done stopping them on 3rd and 12 with the lead and then all of a sudden they call a false start which in every other GD game possible the refs blow the play dead before it is played out that you would be ok with that!! Dont tell me that the defense had chances to stop them when the finally did they got another try! Total BS to blame it all on the defense. In the crucial part of the game they got the stop and they got another chance.

Numerous people AT THE GAME saw it happen realtime and they saw it completely different. Linesman opposite the play was running in waving his hands but the play and the TV view went with the ball.

And really - WHY would the refs HELP OSU by penalizing and making it HARDER to get the 1st down? Would make way more sense for a phantom defense call to fit your thought pattern, wouldn't it?

 

[SpokaneCY]

Ok Kody. Give one example of a call that went our way on Saturday that shouldn't have, just to even things out. Oh, you can't? Obviously. Now shut the **** up and go **** yourself.

Rewatch the game focusing solely on our OL and tell me if you see ANY holding calls not flagged.

 

[SpokaneCY]

Did anybody notice the amount of poor spots we seemed to get during the game? At one point they brought the chains out late in the fourth (i believe) and we didn't get the first down by about a foot. While the teams were switching out offense/defense the ref. walked over to the ball and moved it forward another foot... Why would he do that?

Someone beamed mind control thoughts to him coordinated with the on-field refs, the replay booth, the ball spotting guys, the TV announcers, the TV network and the B12 offices. And all orchestrated by the NOTdead Col. Sanders who is actually from Texas.

Facts: There were a ton of horrible spots.
There were a ton of no calls on holding. Probably both ways BUT these were holds that were influencing the out come such as third downs.
The TD over-turn was the wrong call, it wasn't indisputable evidence. If it takes longer than 5 minutes to figure out a call with Nasa optics then it should stand as called.

The biggest fact, we lost, and we can blame ourselves more than we can blame the bad calls, still doesn't make it any less of an injustice.

You seem to have some anger issues

I was at the game. I didn't see the line judge running in. It did stick out to me how poor the throw was, and made me wonder if he heard the whistle before he threw it away? Either way in the moment I found it humorous that they got another chance at the down. That's just the life of a Cyclone.

Haven't seen this posted but have we heard bak from the Big 12 in regards to the review of the game?

I know everyone is saying our defense had chances to stop OSU on 3rd down's but cmon!! If any of us were out there getting screwed w/o Lube time and time again we would be tired of the crap as well. I'm not sure how JP and CPR can put up with the officiating. Thes calls are made in favor of the other team time and time again at crucial points in the game. Hell look at KSU game last year when they said Jarvis fumbled and obtw that was at the end of the game. I would be all in favor to starting a gofundme page for JP and CPR or to any other fanatic out there that would spear an official during a game that constantly screws us! Why does the Big12 hate us so much?? END RANT

Losers are the only people that ever make excuses.

 

[Kody]

Well said

Bowlsby isn't going to say anything to shoot himself in his foot. The refs did exactly as ordered. OSU is the undefeated team in the B12, and the TV audience got a "thriller." How the refs perform in OSU's games against BU and OU will determine if the B12 has a chance. OSU got no style points against ISU, so they need to step it up, and not need the refs to get them through the gauntlet of the last two games. They're both in Stillwater, so it's OSU's to lose.

Just the same, don't be disappointed if OSU is still not in the final four. There are still more TVs in B1G country, and on the coasts. It's not about who is the best any more -- it's $$$$$$$$.

We had 3 timeouts left at that point.

They were all burned on the following OSU possession at 2:01, 1:56, and 1:52, respectively.

I officially withdraw my name from the new coaching search. Or, does that make me more qualified?

 

[Rogue52]

Here's a thought: Hey Paul, throw the challenge flag if you think the spot is wrong. Especially when you have 3 timeouts still.

LOL. Who do we play this Sunday for Week 11 anyway? I bet Walt Anderson is the lead official.

Didn't see the play, but my best guess is that once it was determined to be a turnover on downs, it was "adjusted" to the nearest yard line, so it would start right on a hash.

The rest of this thread is pretty much water over the dam for me, but I have long held the opinion bolded above. If you have to look THAT HARD for THAT LONG (twss) can you really say that it's indisputable? It seems to me that indisputable evidence is something that should jump out to you pretty quickly. If you have to go all Warren Commission with the review to justify it, you probably shouldn't overturn the call.

How do you know someone has no clue about sports in general?

The person explains how it's not a big deal to have to get a first down twice at the end of a game on a possible last drive when time and first downs are crucial.

The person above knows absolutely nothing about football.

 

[TykeClone]

The people defending the refs are forgetting it's their responsibility to make sure the game is fair and competitive. Unfortunately that isn't the case for us. I don't even know why we're arguing about this? We have three letters of apology and even our supposed to smart AD blew a gasket over it on the record, something that very rarely happens.

fair yes, competitive no. We are perfectly capable of playing in an uncompetitive manner in a fairly called game.

 

[Stormin]

fair yes, competitive no. We are perfectly capable of playing in an uncompetitive manner in a fairly called game.

And we have played competitively in an unfairly called game.

 

[fsanford]

So the officials cost ISU another game? Must be some kind of record for one team to have officials cost them so many games. Sure thought Pollards speech last year would take care of this kind of thing. Where does ISU go now?

 

[TykeClone]

And we have played competitively in an unfairly called game.

Correct.

This is what happens when the Big IIXII accidentally calls a fair game for ISU against one of the big boys

Great point. That game was a perfect example of the officials making the correct calls even when they didn't benefit nebraska.

The announcers didnt have to make excuses for the replay booth.
