Officials tonight..

I assume you also believe the coaches actually vote in the coaches poll as well...

I'm well aware the SIDs do that. Does that affect Fred's work? No. Do the stripes? Damn right they do. It's in Fred's best interests to comment on officials.

Forte sets screens like he's blocking in football and every other OSU player throws hip checks to set screens.

We are the last team in the country which can ***** about screens. 2 out of 3 screens that Hogue (because his feet are about 5 feet apart when he sets them) or Niang (he's almost always a moving screen) set are illegal and they get called about 5% of the time.

This is probably perceived, but towards the end of the season I sometimes think the top conference teams are shown a little officiating preference. With ISU being 2nd place now I hope the calls go our way in these last games, (but I've always been selfish).

I'm hoping ISU gets a little love when Baylor comes to Hilton. I'm a big fan of Rico Gathers but the zebras have to call him when he clears out the entire lane to acquire a rebound! I'd like to see my beloved Packers give Rico a try-out at TE once he uses up his eligibility - the guy is a bulldozer...

I would not disagree that ISU does have some moving screens where a guy hedges out a little more than they should, but I have seen a lot of other teams, including OSU last night, where there big guys put a shoulder into the player trying to get around them and drive them another 3 feet off course as they are trying to get around.
