Since Iowa won I’m going to b!tch about the refs…

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

A pick 6 in the 4th quarter of a game is a huge play. You let it play out then go to review in the event a part of his foot was out of bounds. Ridiculous.

I’m pretty liquored up but I don’t recall one holding call against Minnesota. Ridiculous.

Last, eat sh!t, PJ. Oh, and f#ck Pissconsin.

Go Hawks!

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I can’t believe this team is going to win the West.

The holding by the Minnesota O line was obscene. If they didn't hold, they just pulled the Iowa D linemen along with the flow. Refs did their best to keep Iowa from winning that's for sure.

 

[Chewback]

In a way I don't blame them. They were freezing their asses off and just wanted the game to end as soon as possible. I really don't think they gave a shit who won it.

I don’t think they did either. I’m saying it’s gross incompetence.

 

[BVHawkeye]

I'm not sure I understand why that isn't reviewable.

I was at the 2006 Outback bowl against Florida and that was by far the biggest screw job I’ve ever witnessed in any sport. The Nebraska game in Lincoln 2019 was probably second place but nowhere near the Outback Bowl. Huge screw up with them calling Jack out of bounds. But if they would have somehow reversed that call at the game with the fumble, this would have been right below the Outback bowl.

 

[cubsMDdmb]

I still can’t understand why they reviewed the non fumble at the end for as long as they did. Maybe they had a better view but anything we saw sure looked like his arm was down. I thought for sure they were overturning it based on how long it took and them writing on their notepad.

You never did the entire season. There's a reason we say when the going gets tough the tough get going. They find a way.

 

[DooBi]

I'm not sure I understand why that isn't reviewable.

It's fair. Once the whistle blows the defense can quit on the play.

 

[Morrison71]

I can see why they called it. It was close, but white chalk did fly up when he made that step.

I will say, it seemed like the broadcasting crew was against Iowa from the start. And usually when that happens, the refs are against that team as well.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

I'm not sure I understand why that isn't reviewable.

Ref apparently blew the whistle during the play thinking Campbell stepped out ending the play prematurely.

 

[Frosty7130]

It's fair. Once the whistle blows the defense can quit on the play.

But they didn't blow the whistle though.

Settle down Francis as we don’t exactly dominate games. It will be close again next week. It’s Iowa football

 

[biggreydogs]

The bag is the new whistle I guess

 

[BVHawkeye]

I didn't realize they blew it dead.

 

[Niko13]

I'm not sure I understand why that isn't reviewable.

Because when the play is blown dead, players can stop playing which essentially voids the play. That’s why I believe they should never blow a whistle until the play is over and then sort it out

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

You never did the entire season. There's a reason we say when the going gets tough the tough get going. They find a way.

I don’t think anyone questions the team’s toughness (outside maybe the OL). The question was with the putrid offense. And they have done enough to win critical games, like at Purdue. I credit the team for sticking together and the coaches for keeping them together, but this was foreseen by next to no one.

 

[yrunvs]

Some of us never faltered. They have yet to beat Nebraska so it's not over yet.

That’s how they’re supposed to be trained since they have the benefit of replay.

 

[bansheexyz]

If the logic is that they wanted the game to end as quickly as possible, then why were they trying so hard to preserve the tie at the end?

Yes they have, and believe it or not Petras played a pretty solid game given the weather, and BF called some nice throws in key parts of the game....

What team in the league wouldn't be thrilled to have this guy as their starting Mike LB for the next decade....

white chalk flew up?
are we talking about the Jack Campbell's interception today ?

Coaches will get bonuses for this shit show of an offense.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

I'm not sure I understand why that isn't reviewable.

They are trained to choke one the whistle there. You never call that

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Petras has improved leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, the OL is still not where they need to be.

 

[biggreydogs]

It's also the first time since 1986 per the NCAA FBS record book that there were no penalties recorded in a game

 

[BlackNGoldWings]

It could have been worse. Witvoet could have been the ref. I can't believe the B1G uses him for anything, let alone as the review official, and he's screwed that up, too.

First, there is no white chalk on the sidelines. Second, there is no correlation between announcer's bias against a team and the refs following suit.

That is truly hard to believe!
I can’t recall ever seeing it .

 

[Morrison71]

Go back and look at it. The sidelines, white grass, or whatever you want to call it, flew up when he planted near the sideline.

It is a pretty flimsy excuse but refs have a tough job and it was close. It’s easy to say let it play then replay it. But refs aren’t perfect.

 

[DooBi]

But they didn't blow the whistle though.

Idk if he blew the whistle but he was definitely waving his arms to stop the clock.

 

[KS-hawk]

I can’t believe this team is going to win the West.

Suck it

 

[hawkifann]

I'm not sure I understand why that isn't reviewable.

In theory, if they call him out of bounds, they should be blowing the whistle and getting guys to stop. At that point, it’s non-reviewable because guys are stopping on the field…in this case, though, I never heard a whistle and nobody stopped playing, so I don’t know WTF they were doing.

what the hell are you talking about?
there's no chaulk or white grass flying up

its a gawd damd thing to claim something like that that never happened
you can clearly see green between Jack's foot and the white sideline

Kf is a golden turd, he can fail in so many ways and still come out on top

 

[SI_NYC]

First FBS game since 1986 with no penalties.

Those refs just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible so they ‘missed’ the 20+ holding calls on MN.
