Picture of the last play

It's Enrico Polazzo!

I'll go with msu after the personal foul on lawan

Playcalling gets tougher when the opposing defense gets to commit interference.  That was the third time this game Roundtree was hit before the ball came.  It's unbelievable that none drew a flag.  (Well, one did, before being picked up.)

Agree with your point. Negged for saying it like a jerk. 

Look, I have no problem with people being mad about the refs.  They blew two very important calls IMO.  I thought it was a TD and I thought it was PI.  However, writing to Delany and telling him you are upset about the refs does nothing.  It's basically saying "I'm mad and I want everyone else to know about it!"  Will it make you feel better when he replies (if he replies at all) with "I'm sorry, but in that situation our refs are faced with difficult judgement calls and we stand by them."  This isn't a punch where a player gets suspended.  The refs aren't going to get suspended for deaming a TD not conclusive and for missing a judgement call late in the game, even if they are wrong.  

Complain all you want here, that's fine and that's part of what this board is for.  But taking it further just makes us as a Michigan fan base look petty.  And when something happens that is actually worthy of people writing and asking someone of something, it actually makes it seem worth while for them to read, rather than thinking "oh, it's just these fans complaining about something...again...like always."  Don't be that fanbase.  Don't embarass Michigan and its fanbase like that.  Don't bring our fanbase to the level that no one will take us seriously when we have something that is worthy of filing complaint.  The refs were wrong, the people in charge will see that, but nothing can/will be done.  The refs aren't going to change the call or make up for it next game.  The last thing we need is for refs to hear all of us bitching and complaining to their boss, have them hate us because of a bunch of people annoyling complain, and have things like this happen more often.  I'm pissed off too but pick your battles so that we don't all look like idiots.

Sure.  Excuses.  However, Hemingway had that TD with 7 seconds left.  We have a chance to tie it up after that.  All you need is one play and we had that play robbed from us twice in the last 10 seconds.  I love excuses when they're correct.  Also, I'm very,very bitter.

I agree that we didn't play that well.  But Iowa didn't play any better.  They were outgained, surrendered seven more first downs and allowed us to convert 7 of 12 third downs.   They got one of their two takeaways after interfering with Roundtree.  They were bailed out on a deep ball by interfering with Roundtree.  They got a "defensive stop" at the end of the game after 1) somehow getting a legit TD ruled incomplete and 2) interfering with Roundtree.

"focus the anger in the right place."

Agree. Time to beat the piss out of our girlfriends and wives. THEY WILL PAY FOR THIS LOSS

I almost feel bad for the officials. What an embarrassing series of F-ups.

Still, I don't think Michigan really earned this one. They sucked for the better part of the game.

OH MAN, LOOK AT THIS GUY!  You're so cool, you don't care if your team wins or loses.  I love not showing any emotion, or anyone else being disappointed.  You should tell everyone how stupid their passion for football is.

hope we murder Illinois. That will teach Iowa.

What does a botched snap and shitty play calling have to do with horrible officiating at the end of the game?  Michigan got jobbed by the officials.  Everything that happened before that is completely irrelevant to whether or not peolpe should be upset about the way the game ended.  It is true that there are lot of reasons as to why Michigan was in the position they were in. It is also true that there is no other way to describe the refs non call on the last play as anything more than causing the game to end in a fashion that had nothing to do with the quality of the play.  The game ended with a good route, a good throw, and a receiver that was open by position.  The cornerback obviously interfered with the receiver, and the ball fell to the ground.  Game over.

Essentially what you are saying is that we didn't play well enough to win the game, so we should just take it.  I think Michigan played well enough to be in position to tie the game(which, obviously they were-I didn't imagine that they were inside the 5).  I would agree that maybe Michigan didn't deserve to win the game.  But, deserving a thing has no bearing on whether or not we acheive a thing.  Michigan was in position to score at the end.  Many feel that the refs robbed Michigan of scoring at the end.  I think it is pretty obvious that Michigan should have had one more play.  Thus, regardless of the circumstances leading up to the play,  we have every right to blame the refs for not having the opportunity to have one more play, at the very least.
