That game was fixed

[ISUAgronomist]

I don't do the twitter, but earlier I checked out Bob Bowlsby's twit page and it was full of ISU fans blasting him. I just went back to it to see how much more he's gotten but now it just says he hasn't tweeted and if he does it'll show up there. Does this mean he shut it down?

Interesting. Must have locked it down or had everything deleted.

Football is a sport and should be called evenly. I don’t care what people say about we should’ve made more plays if we wanted to win. Normally I’d say yes, but after all of the scre jobs we’ve seen, I say no and fu** that. We should not have to play 2-3 scores better than a team just to have a shot at losing on a last second pass on the 1 yard line. We shouldn’t have to outdo a Home team and the refs that the Big 12 designates to our game to just beat a team on the road. We already fight an uphill battle, I’m getting sick of people ruining our games and being told to deal with and get over it just because we’re Iowa State.

Thanks, that's very helpful Mr. Bowlsbe's lowly assistant.

It's being said the flags like the PI on Lazard and late hit on Kempt were judgment calls. OK, fine, whatever.

Even if the judgment calls are taken out, getting things wrong like a fair catch and run (against TCU) or a clear false start on what ended up being a Kansas State touchdown run, is beyond inexcusable.

How the Big 12 can continue to allow failing officiating to occur is beyond me. It's not like officiating an Iowa State game is what making them incompetent. Reggie Smith's crew was one the who called the TCU-Oklahoma game earlier this season.

Aren't they the same clowns that officiated the ISU-OSU game?

I held off as long as possible but couldn’t help but visit the board.

Yep, our fans are delusional.

yes you are...but enough about K-State, Mr. new member.

Lol! I forgot about Garcia’s holding call on the cut block with his hands on his own hips laying on the ground. He wasn’t even holding himself

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Sometimes I wonder to myself what it would be like to watch our guys win a game that they had no business winning, specifically one that took multiple suspect calls from the officials in the waning moments to win. I have to simply wonder about this because we've never been on a good side of a game like tonight's, at least not that I can think of and I've been watching ISU football intently for the past 15 years or so.

Brad Van Vark's crew officiated that debacle.

Not the same people.

The Garcia “holding call” in the first quarter was the most egregious call of the game. Which is ******* insane to say given the events of the 4th quarter

 

[FredCyclone]

I wonder if all the BIG 12 Refs have it in the back of their mind, FK ISU. After Pollard and Rhoads called them out and made a big scene.

So is it a human reaction of being hurt. I know we used to get screwed with calls before that, but has it been ramped up.

Let's not go Kentucky fans/John Higgins on Reggie Smith, please and thank you.

People in glass houses that post stupid hot takes in the Brian Peavy thread shouldn't throw stones.

 

[hoosman]

I seriously would like to see a federal investigation of college officiating because it is clear they are doing this deliberately. Whoever makes the most TV revenue is who is given the calls. There is no other explanation.

 

[scyclonekid]

I have never seen the blatant **** job we got today and consistently.

"The refs agree, Snyder wins"
I had to chuckle a little, but we got Snydered in the most Iowa State way possible

I’m sorry, you are calling me stupid for refusing to believe that a game was fixed?

The most hated man in the NFL, Roger Goodell, has more brains than Bob Bowlsby. Roger Goodell has Walt Anderson assigned to Raiders vs. Broncos tomorrow - a meaningless game between two horrible teams.

Your Big 12 Director of Officiating. Not even good enough to get a worthwhile assignment in his day job.
