is temporarily restored:

That game had two sets of rules: One for PSU, and one for NU. If there was ever a need for disciplinary action against a crew, tonight's game is Exhibit A. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, the Easter Bunny or even Bigfoot, but I believe we got completely jobbed by a crew that has no business officiating another B1G game.

WTF was that travesty of competitive sports mediation?

I have never seen so many fouls called away from the action. I have never such a disparity in what is permitted by one time and called on the other.

And the final call was a fitting and seminal clusterf@ck to seal our fate: Call a goaltend, then review it and wave it off, while also negating the putback. But at least we got possession! Thanks guys!

That was the worst officiating I’ve seen in any sporting event ever. There’s nothing even close.

Bowl games

While Finebaum did sort of a mea culpa, it was absolutely disgusting (even taking account that he works for the SEC network) how lopsided his "analysis" has been the past couple of weeks.

Blah, blah, blah - who did Indiana play/where are their good/great wins, but nothing stated about Texas which was in the same boat.

Repeating ad nauseum about dOSU spending $20 mil on NIL, but again, silence on Texas (and other schools which spent more); nevermind all those years when the SEC was paying players under the table.

Ironically, UT is the last hope for the SEC and many SEC fans earlier in the season were saying that Texas was not yet a real SEC program.

Collins Post Game Press Conference

Anybody know when and where we can watch it? Hopefully he is lighting up the officials.

Collins won't. He almost did that once after the Gonzaga screw job, but stopped short. He'll just continue playing the "nice guy" act with Big Ten officials...
  • And they'll continue to screw NU season, after season, after season
  • Fran McCaffrey once found the Big Ten refs in the tunnel after the game and screamed "You cheating motherf***er!" You're a f***ing disgrace!"... well, now Iowa gets treated fairly
  • PSU coach Mike Rhoades has zero history in the Big Ten, he's two years in, and noww his team gets a whistle against NU like nothing I've ever seen
  • NU suffered one of the craziest screw jobs I've ever seen in the closing seconds. What does Collins do? He remains docile and shakes hands. Well, I hope the nice guy routine makes him lots of friends. It doesn't get him calls
  • Frankly, NU fans have to question: "If Collins doesn't care enough to get fired up and show some real emotion, why should we?"

I thought that at first as well, but if Leach's shot was blocked (as they called after the review), is it still possible for #14 to goal tend?

Not trying to be contrarian, but honestly don't know the correct call there. I think it might be a loose ball after the blocked shot?

I think the rule is if the ball is in the air in the cylinder any touching of the rim is auto goal tending.

made mistake of rewatching the play-

Let’s forget the ridiculous no call on the REAL goaltend earlier.

Bit on the final play-

They messed up the play by calling a goaltend when they didn’t see one.

On the review-
BB had already released the ball when the whistle blew.
They also missed #14 hitting the rim with his arm which should have been a goaltend.

So they missed that call several different ways.

Clawson's formula for success was similar to Fitz's and just does not work as well in the era of NIL and the portal. He'll need to adjust and it might be easier to do that with a team in the Big Ten where resources ($$$) are more plentiful than in the ACC.

Not exactly, the foundation of Clawson's success at Wake was rolling out some pretty good O-lines.

Please retract that Mike Tomlin vibe. I got big time Matt Eberflus vibe on that last drive. Bears have the Worst NFL coaching I can remember.

If going for the Tomlin vibe, Fitz is the college equivalent of Tomlin (more on that later), except for the not having losing seasons part (which is soooooo overrated).

Me too. It actually bothers my other NU fan friends/family how much I won’t get down on refs for calls and their impact on a game. I have a reputation in the group of being that guy.

But this game truly was decided by the refs. And it’s too bad, cause it could have been a great game without them stealing the show with so many one-sided bad calls.

Refs have not really been our friends this year, They have decided more than one game against us. at the end of games
