What was up with the refs not reviewing the non interception on Tate and then springing into action on the non fumble?
It appeared the OSU fans were getting a good view of the replay as they groaned on the fumble. Did Buckeye Bob kill the replay on the interception?
That was a special dong punch to start the half.

Only our warrior-poets would want a fair game, right? to$U and M$U and Wi$con$in pay off the refs while we vainly struggle in pursuit of an amateur athletic ideal...got it.
There were a lot of wierd
There were a lot of wierd calls in this game. The holding call on that 98 yard td I thought was weak, the encroachment on Stokes was stupid.
Nontheless it didn't impact the game at all, but it was still some pathetic refing.
You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.
The celebration calls
were pretty lame too.
They were real consistent

Don't bitch about the
Don't bitch about the referee's. We got our ASS kicked and crying about the refs won't change that unfortunately.

And white players are gritty. We get it.
Fuck you guys, for serious
Really, I haven't seen anybody say that refs singlehandedly cost us the game. Everybody has acknowledged that, for the most part, Michigan pooped the bed. We're just making observations; that is all
whatev, dawg
chalk it up to us being
chalk it up to us being michigan in the horseshoe. we are never going to get those calls

I don't know why
I'm not sure why they didn't but at that point I was using every four letter word I know that at that review official. Pretty sure my neighbors could have called the police with a noise complaint at that point if they wanted to.
Oh you know, just a typical Michigan fan that goes to Central
moot point. refs were not the
moot point. refs were not the deciding factor in this game.
there were plenty of questionable calls against OSU too.
Plenty?
Okay, the celebration penalties AFTER they scored, the penalties for unsportsmanlike, which were off setting, the holding penalty on the long return, which was questionable but yeah, OSU gets the ball like first and 10 on our 19. Nothing that really interfered with them running their game. Our penalties might of been spot on but they were drive killers, like that hold on the long pass play that came back.
I'm not saying the refereeing cost us the game, but come on, to say the penalties called on us were as bad as the ones the Bucks were hit with, well I disagree.

yes, plenty. i'd be fucking
yes, plenty. i'd be fucking furious if they called that celebration or holding penalty on us.
also, apparently i think you're getting ahead of yourself. i never said "the penalties called on us were as bad as the ones the Bucks were hit with"
What about the pass
What about the pass interference against Roundtree when the ref went to grab the flag and decided not too? Even Millen picked up on that!!!

Get up
and take it like a man.
What I've always told my players--
"When you are a perfect player, you can expect perfect officiating."
We got screwed
On a ton of calls. But, let's be real, we lost by thirty. I thought we played pretty decenty, but all the positive officiating in the world couldn't have saved this. Let's save the bitching about refs for a time it makes a difference.

The refs were lame on both sides
All in all a pretty terrible game by the officials for both sides. Even Matt Derp and Sean McDummy said as much.
Our problems were: 1. no kicker for FG, 2. Fumble at 10 after Ray drop, 3. Shank Punt, 4. KO, 5. Illegal procedure by freshman, 6. Second half.
honestly, i thought the refs
honestly, i thought the refs were fine. i didn't see them as huge factors in the game and thought the bulk of calls they made were right. like just about every other game, both teams could lay claim to some questionable calls, but - honestly - who gives a shit? they weren't one-sided or favorable to OSU or UM.
let's not be "that" fan base. we got hosed because we shot ourselves in the foot and played a much better team.
no way
the refs helped take us out of the game today in the early going. 1. weak holding call on shilling negating a huge play
2. weak offsides call on stonum, i think, before the ball was snapped. never seen that before.
3. weak call on jackson not being set. again, you almost never see that.
4. the non-call on the interference on 4th down.
5. not reviewing the "non" interception.
those calls stopped drives and dug us our hole. it was only after OSU took a significant lead when the makeup calls started. i'm not saying we win or were the better team, but the game would have been a bit more interesting.
the refs were off today
the refs were off today simple as that. It was like trying to put a Roundtree in a square hole
Review Question
Due to all this losing, I'm thinking of giving up everything to become a sheep herder. What are some good reasons why I shouldn't walk the countryside chewing grass and listening to the wind blow?
