Worst hosing by referees in ISU history?

[MontyBurns]

Wondering what the biggest screwjob we've gotten from refs has ever been. There have been a lot in basketball, but personally I think the #1 hosing was Seneca Wallace's touchdown against Florida State. Keeping in mind not just how bad the call was but also what it cost us, what does everyone think?

Tony Yelk's kick against Alabama in the '01 Independence Bowl?

I vote Elite Eight game vs. Mich. St.

My first three thoughts are already posted.

Only other thing that comes to mind is the Kansas basketball debauchery.

This. I'll take a final 4 berth over a bowl win or a win against #2(?) FSU any day.

I think the kick to the nuts pic should be included with each post in this thread

Once, and only once - IMO - have the Clones been truly hosed. The regional final versus Michigan State for a Final Four berth. I could argue a couple of other times - but I'm biased. The MSU game, every major publication in the US said the same thing - except the Detroit Free Press. It was beyond demoralizing, it was humilating.

How about the OU basketball game last year....wait i think i just saw the ref miss another Blake Griffin travel

This is it and there isn't even a close second.

Everything on here could be argued. But the Michigan State game clearly stands out in my mind.

Obviously the MSU game is the answer although I would like to add the 3 pt basket by Kansas in between our FT's a few years ago and the 4 time outs Nebraska was able to call in the 1st half of a home game without penalty. Neither of these had as much of a season outcome as the MSU game but were important to that game itself.

I realize that officials are a very easy target but it'd be much easier to blame our players for each of the times you guys are talking about. If we would have showed up in the first half of the Florida State game for instance refs would have never come into play. I have no idea why its ok to be complete dicks to officials but nowhere else is it acceptable to treat people that way. I spent the last week reffing basketball camp and it is ridiculous that coaches can continually ridicule officials for calls while officials cannot judge coaches. Hardest job there is.

I still can't find a video for that one. I read about it the very next day, but I've never been able to see the carnage.

Do your eyes a favor, don't. It's harder on your eyes than our pass defense last season in football was.

The MSU game will always hurt the most and is likely number one to me.

The Arkansas FB game in 1974 @Arkansas was a close second. On the game winning play by the Hogs, there were clearly 12 men on the field and it was obvious so obvious. The next day, TV and the DSM Register Big Peach all showed the same thing.

Arkansas FB at that time was equivilent to Texas now. (Frank Broyles was the coach)

2nd half and OT of the 2005 Nebraska game was as bad as our pass D the same game. Or the Austin Flynn TD noncatch in 2006 Nebraska game at home not the worst I can think of but only ones not mentioned yet.

It has to be ISU vs. MSU. That game hurt where it counts. The KU basketball game with the magical three pointers (between our free throws) was just blatantly poor officiating. Those refs needed reprimanded if they weren’t. Then I’d have to say the FSU football game. We came at them like a wave and got kicked in the nards big time, at least it was somewhat questionable…I guess. Then I'd have to go with any other time we've ever lost any athletic event or scholastic challenge..........oh yeah were not iowa (notice the disrespectful lower case i)

I was stationed in California when that happened, and the sports radio guys in Sacramento were talking about it. I remember one of them saying that if he were coaching, he would have pulled his team off the floor until the officials took the points off the board.
