*** Official #22 IOWA STATE vs West Virginia Game(Day) THREAD ***

[jsb]

Not sure if I'm reading your analysis accurately, but my main point is ... don't let it come down to officiating vs. a team you should beat, I don't want to roll the dice on it.

YES, WE UNDERSTAND THAT.


BUT THE OFFICIALS DID COST US THE GAME.

 

[HFCS]

1000%. Big difference between that and claiming a B12 conspiracy against Iowa State.

The review on Hall’s TD is either an official fixing a game or someone who needs to be fired.

That doesn’t mean it’s a broad conspiracy.

Most gutted I’ve ever felt as a Cyclone fan. Pretty much nothing to play for with 4 games to go after thinking this was finally the year we would break through. All the hard work leading up to this season and it’s just over. I’ll still be there next week but it’s going to be 11 on 19. You bet I’m absolutely including the replay official in there. Can we come up with a Horns Down for B12 refs?

The problem is there's no consistency. In many games they do just make the "right call". In others they hold an extremely high standard to overturn things where you can't even piece together things to come to a conclusion

No way they were overturning anything today with the 3 ESPN+ webcams.

on Hall’s TD the only way a replay official gives ball to WVU is blindness or fixing a game.
100% conclusively not a fumble.

It would appear that way. I think they called it a fumble on the field because it was the “easy call” since the ball came out, thinking they could go to the replay booth and make the right call.

I really feel like a big problem lies with the “indisputable evidence” rule. How do you even define that? To me it looked like a 99.99% chance that ball crossed the line. By definition that .01% meant the call stood. That f****** sucks.

Yeah don’t give up 500 yds and pressure vs 3 all game.

Did you watch the Oline play? Did you see the receivers not get separatation? Did you see Purdy have to do it himself with his legs at times? You be you and not let stupid stop you from sharing your opinion. Your $&@$y takes expose how little you know about the game.

Are you a grown man crying about a football game? It’s not that big of a deal. Another person can say “hey, I think for an elite QB, the best this program has ever had; purdy sure lacks the game winning drives the older he gets”. It’s ok if people have other opinions. These kids care considerably less than you.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Honest question, do the NFL Hopefuls sit out the rest of the way? Hall, Kolar, McDonald, etc? Can’t blame them. This is a lost season and they shouldn’t risk injury in hopes of getting paid.

 

[Blandboy]

Coaching is an issue. Larger one than people want to acknowledge

Which coach?

 

[gordocyclone]

Really! When was the last time we were the conference champions in football? 1912 I believe. We are losers! Truth hurts!

most gutted? Come on. It sucks. The program is still in a good place.

 

[Wally86]

it isn’t that difficult.

but a large percentage of message board posters don’t understand anything.

Serious question, if you feel that way about message boards why join in?

Exactly. If this was a normal broadcast there would be many more angles.

Hall was conclusively down with the ball.

The linesman called it a TD.

The fact that WVU gets that ball was huge in determining the game.

Completely inexcusable to get that review wrong.

Some advice for you....grow up.

I’m feeling that same agony, but I disagree there’s nothing left to play for. A big middle finger to UT and OU would make this season fun. Definitely won’t be the season we wanted by any means, but that’s about the best I can come up with to salvage the season.

Shut the **** up

good ******* question. I shouldn’t. But much like a drug addict, I can’t stay away and see what a bunch of idiots do. And then I join in to get everyone riled up.

(I bet it takes your mind off the game.)

 

[Cyman88]

The right question is, what fumble? It wasn't a fumble. It was either down inside the 1 or a touchdown. There was no fumble. And the fact that there are people who get paid to still be unable to correctly interpret what every schmoe can see from their television sets indicates either a screw job or unacceptable incompetence.

The replay views on that play were horsesh*t!

One official called it a TD live.

I wouldn’t have been as pissed if they gave it to ISU inches past the goal line.

That simply was not WVU ball.
