I'm going to make a blanket statement that applies to absolutely every level of football from freshman HS to NFL. If your nose tackle gets called for defensive holding on a rushing play, you're getting screwed over by the refs, you're 100% going to lose the game, and 100% of the time you're going to lose having WAY more penalties than your opponent and it's 99.8% of the time going to be a road game.

In that scenario, fire every single ref, leave whatever sht conference you find yourself stuck in and flip the double bird on your way out.
You're on an ISU message board looking for sympathy because you feel like your team got screwed by the refs?

Wait, you think the Big 12 tried to give TT the win???? Seriously?

Got it. Thank you for telling me everything I ever needed to know about Iowa State fans.

I honestly used to respect y'all a ton up until today. Now I know that whenever a call goes against Iowa State every single Iowa State fan will step up and immediately admit that it wasn't the Big 12's fault, it was just Iowa State's fault for being undisciplined.

You said you were done a few posts ago. Jeesh you’re as undisciplined as your team.

If the Big12 sends you a letter saying the refs screwed TT, then come back and let us know.

If I hadn't seen thousands of Iowa State fans complaining about Big 12 refs over the years I wouldn't be on here doing it. I thought this was the one place in college football that some fan would admit when a Big 12 team was getting screwed over by Big 12 refs.

Do you think this guy is going to go back to whatever worthless message board Texas Tech has and claim he owned the Cyclones here as a precursor to their circle jerk over a Kliff Kingsbury picture?

Yes, and here's a screenshot. It was a clear hold inside the shoulder pads. Even more obvious with video. I did think some of the other calls were questionable and overall went against Tech. But it happens.

Clearly looks like he's grabbing our lineman and stopping him from making his block but I just can't trust my eyes on this one. Anybody with a shred of intelligence knows it's impossible for a nose guard to hold on a RUN PLAY!!!!!

I'm really disappointed.

No one has been screwed over by the Big 12 more than Iowa State. I thought y'all have gotten immensely screwed vs. UT over the years.

If anyone, I knew that Iowa State fans, would feel some sympathy for Texas Tech after this game of getting screwed over.

I thought at least I could connect with y'all over that, but now I realize Iowa State fans are EXACTLY like UT fans. Not a single one of y'all will admit that a single call went your way.

This is really disappointing. I really want to like Iowa State fans. I like Matt Campbell and really want to respect the Iowa State program.

However, if you can't admit that your team got some calls to go their way, you're a trash program just like Texas. That's disappointing.

The kinds of things ISU has received apology letters from the Big 12 offices for:

Last season at the end of the game against K-State, Lazard wore his defender like a cheap winter coat on a play that was originally called PI, but the lead ref decided to pick up the flag (the ref who threw the flag was shown saying “it’s your funeral”)

A few years ago, near the end of the game with Texas, ISU forced a fumble on a Texas player near the goal line that ISU picked up and returned 100ish yards for a TD - which the refs decided to blow dead. Video evidence showed none of the RB being down, forward progress stopped, or TD. Further, no whistle could be heard in the replay. Texas would go on to score the TD and win the game.

A few years ago against KU in OT (I think), Niang took a charge under the basket. His feet were not in the circle, his arms were straight up, and he was stationary, and the KU player was completely out of control. And if memory serves, he also drew blood. But instead of calling the charge, the refs called blocking. KU would score the FTs that would give them the lead permanently.

Then there’s no words for this abomination:



What @ttuadvisor wants an apology letter for:

Early in the game, the TT NT held an ISU OL, preventing him from getting upfield to make his block, which per the rulebook is defensive holding, and he was flagged for it. Then, throughout the game, TT continued to commit penalties, like hitting Purdy late, hitting him with the crown of the helmet, hitting him below the knees, among other penalties.

Excuse me for thinking one of these things isn’t quite like the other, and until you’ve walked a mile in ISU’s shoes when it comes to getting screwed by Big 12 refs, you can get the **** out of here with your bull**** “we want an apology letter” whining.
