Gopher fans and media complaining about officiating

[GolfHacker1]

Pretty sure we have a game on Saturday. Sure hope we get away with whatever we can get away with.

My problem here is assuming adult-level literacy on the part of all posters, which has been proven over and over again to be a mistaken assumption.

As to the play in the Iowa-ISU game, I'll say for the third time that I apparently don't understand the rule. You guys aren't denying that the Iowa player hooked the ISU player's arm and pulled him away from the QB; you're just pointing out that such an act is legal. I didn't know that. I have learned something today.

No. Go read my post. He didn't hook him. He simply used his arm to apply pressure and recovered with his feet.

He didn't grab or pull. He pushed. He pushed and moved his feet until he recovered. Once he recovered, he was able to put both hands on him.

Not a hold. Again, when you were a kid you had to keep your hands on your chest and block only with your elbows. Sorry this is not the 1950s

Wait....it isn't the 1950s? That would explain why none of the new cars have fins, wouldn't it. Sumbitch!

Seriously, I confess to ignorance, I guess. I did not realize an offensive player was allowed to reach out and use his hands.

Ok. That makes sense if you didn't realize there was a rule change 35 yrs ago.

But, with as much as you get involved in sports on a message board and it appearsthat you go to games, it would be logical to assume you understand the basic rules of the game.

Now you know.

Oh......wait, so......Iowa doesn't hold? Just like that, you conceded that Iowa doesn't hold?

That was easy, I guess...

Btw, maybe instead of whining about Iowa allegedly holding, you should focus your energies on a team that actually holds and gets away with it in Ohio State....and I don't even give a f*** if you have no interest in Ohio State. You like complaining, right? Complain about them. I think it was 2013, they didn't even have three holding calls on them the entire season. THAT is worth looking into. Good luck, LC.

Actually, they went the entire B10 season last year (2014) and several games into the B10 season this year with zero holding penalties. That was posted here when they got their first holding call of the year earlier this season.

As I suspected, myopic.

As I suspected, myopic.

The clones never lose to anyone but the refs. Of course when the refs make calls according to the actual rules then clone fans lose their minds. What replay didn't see the fumble in the Texas Game a couple of years ago, doesn't matter clone fans saw what no one else could. The pass hit the ground in the Okie State game as revealed in replay, nope it doesn't count either as clone fans also saw what no one else of the planet did.

Here is a prediction for you. Whoever Leath errr. Pollard hires it will be the only one they went after and the only one that got the offer. Then Chrissy Williams will go on and on and on and on and on for days about how of all the schools hiring a football coach isu was the one who really got it right. I can still hear him saying the Mangino hire was going to save isu. "Mangino took Kansas to a BCS game, Kansas think about what he can do at isu".

Clone fans will buy anything.

Listened to Sid Hartman yesterday he was livid at the officials; he wanted the phone number of the head official for the game to given him a piece of his mind. Multiple people at work were also saying the officials cost them the game. I'm sure there were some bad calls/no calls both ways, but was the officiating really as one sided as the gopher folks are claiming?

Sid is the very definition of "homer." The only colors he sees are maroon and purple. Otherwise, he can't tell the difference between up and down. Old man who, if he was a horse, would be put out to pasture or put down out of mercy.
