Big 12 Officiating

[bearcatbret]

Here is a question for all of you. I believe that both the Kansas and Iowa State games were terribly officiated. That UC was on the wrong end of several bad calls. If this is true, three questions: First, is it that the officials are just that bad? or two, has the Big 12 Conference given instructions to the officials to call games to make UC lose? Or three, is it just my imagination that both the Kansas and Iowa State games were poorly called? Will it get better now that UC has won two games in a row?

The officiating was awful today. I don’t know how to explain them other than the refs did not want UC to win the game.

A lot of the calls were terrible, especially the pass interference in the end zone. But, the two ineligible downfield penalties were legit, obvious calls.

If the pass interference call at the end of the first half was wrong, these guys should be fired. I work in an industry that if I was that so wrong, I would be fired.

You have to wonder if the refs had some connection to big bets being placed on the game. They clearly did not want UC to win.

I believe until we are a markee college team with consistent rankings, we will get the shorted end of the stick. It appears the B12 wants the old established teams to do well irregardless of how well one of the newer teams are playing..

But they sure don't mind Houston dominating basketball.

As much as it appears I think it is unlikely that the refs have an agenda (at least in the college game. The NFL is a different story) But there should be some sort of accountability after the fact to penalize referees for awful calls and to compensate teams for being screwed.

Off topic just a bit. Did anyone watch the Detroit Lions against the Green Bay Packers today? In a crutial 4th down play for the Packers, Detroit was called for too many players on the field BEFORE THE SNAP. Have any of you ever seen a call before the snap? Detroit could have called a time out before the snap and gotten the extra player off of the field. Another call was the Green Bay offensive line was called for movement but the officials said that the sideline called a timeout. However, the TV crew showed the replays and it was clearly offensive movement before the timeout call. I think that officiating stinks all across the board from college to the pros.
