I know this has been said before, but officiating has never been worse

They were stuffing more commercials in the breaks today than Santa in to the chimney of an orphanage on Christmas Eve.

It was awful.

What service doesn’t allow FF via DVR?  That would be enough for me to drop them for a competitor.

Replay has just put way too much focus on the refs.  It isn’t any better or worse than it has always been, people just talk about it far more and a lot more of the focus of a game is on the refs.  If they got rid of replay the refs wouldn’t seem like a big deal anymore.

You are probably right, but what if it gets like Ancient Rome? That is what I am calling for at this point. I didn't see the play, but a play that stood out to me today was the incomplete pass by Shea, that was originally called a fumble. The Umpire was staring right at him, as you could see in the replay. It was not close to being a fumble, yet the POS Umpire didn't rule incomplete. I know it was overturned, but that is not my point. Do your damn job man. These people need to be held accountable. Return to the Roman Empire or start taking their paychecks. If I don't perform at my job, I lose money. FUCK all refs.

"grading them" for the public will change nothing. You make split second calls in micro second. It's just about your angle and how you react in that split moment. No amount of "grading" is changing those variables.

That call was a big momentum killer for us.

He drove the Qb into the ground.  Flag every time 

What my college white hat connection said about the Hutchinson call.

"I'm ok with the call. He didn't have to drive him at the end. Just finish the play/hit without driving your shoulder pad into his face. That call will be supported" 

Could have just as easily called intentional grounding on that play. 

That call pissed me off so much.

I was yelling at the TV -- I knew it would have huge impact on momentum of the game.

To me, Michigan seems one of the unluckiest teams I watch.  All teams get bad calls here and there.  Michigan's bad calls are all like a purposeful and surgical excision of a critical element of morale or momentum.

Yes, I know that all this is filtered through my biased perspective.

But I need to rant!

twins left, with both X and slot starting out straight.  X's defender basically cuts X off/jams him, and X pushes back, then slides outside a bit.  meanwhile, the ball is thrown to the slot guy who gets the first down.  then doesn't, because of the flag.  as mentioned above, horrible call and even if it is somehow defendable, you can't make that call at that critical time of the game.  candidly, i think oregon got a couple of calls in the 2nd half that benefitted them and they probably didn't deserve. 

Wisconsin trails by one and faces a 3rd and 5-ish at their own 30 with only a few minutes left in the 4th.  They convert it by pass, but a ref throws a flag for OPI on another receiver in the area.  It wasn’t a conventional pick play at all, but rather the DB jumped in front of the receiver and he ran into the DB.  It didn’t look like much at all, and shouldn’t have decided the game.

This post should have been written with an asterisk.

any call that goes against Ohio State is a good call.

So you finally agree that the JT was short?  Thank you.
