Screwed By Refs, Fuck off if you cant recognize

Go ahead and bitch about Harbaugh, Shea, and the coaching.  Yeah, the 4th down call was horrible.

Don't give a shit.  Refs gifted PSU the lead with the bs PI and missed PI calls.

Half time stats:

Total Yards: M - 187 PSU - 203

Rushing: M - 65 PSU - 88

Passing: M - 122 PSU -115

First Downs: M -11 PSU - 8

TOP: M - 19:09 PSU - 10:51

Explosive plays (Rush 12+, Pass 18+): M - 5  PSU - 5

Turnovers: M - 1 PSU - 0

Not as bad as I would have thought. The explosive plays are a little misleading as most of M's barely meet the threshold. The INT and crappy calls have really hurt.

This sounds like PSU fans in 2015 and the beginning of 2016. Year 5 and refs are the excuse… 

its a choir for us to score. We’ve had the ball forever we don’t get big plays. The Nico PI was a horrible call but it’s not like we do much to help ourselves.

"The Nico PI was a horrible call but..."  But what?  That's a huge play that was taken away due to one of the worst offensive pass interference calls I've seen. It was made even worse given the obvious push off by the receiver on PSU's first TD.  In big games against good teams, those kinds of things matter.

Missed PI and missed Targeting on Patterson, for sure.  Lineman downfield was legit.  Offensive PI on Collins was suspect.

Didn’t get many whistles but doesn’t feel like a screw job.  There is another option, perhaps our players could stop committing penalties.

Now I Fuck off as requested.

Near even yardage at halftime...despite their team being gifted net 75 yards in shitty PI calls and non-calls.

Harbaugh fucking blows at times..tonight is a fucking ref screw job. 

Hate Harbaugh, hate where this program is, have your opinion..I won't argue it.

But if you don't think tonight is a screw job, and this game shouldn't at least be even, you're fucking blind.

Not that I don't agree with you because I do but..   

There are already THREE "the refs are fucking us over" threads up and still alive.  Why not post in one of those?

I love your "hot takes" on how people shouldn't be allowed to have "hot takes".  Not narcissistic at all.  Maybe you could send out your rules and regulations for how we should all post on the board.  I would really value that.

Should have been offensive PI when PSU TE pushed off from Hudson, should have been defensive PI on pass to Black, should have been defensive PI on pass to Collins (not offensive PI). BUT, we have had a number of very unfortunate drops, as well, and we cannot win if our receivers don't catch passes right in their hands and if our DBs can't catch interceptions right in their hands (looking at you, Hawkins).

Need to be mentally tougher - as soon as you saw the missed PI on 4th down it was obvious PSU was gonna score a TD, and what do you know they run it directly up the gut for 45 yards and Clifford runs 3mph right at the linebackers on 3rd and 8 and then 2 straight offsides.... With that said, the refs should straight up be fired, they're basically no better than some dude doing high school refereeing as a second job.

This is really bad.  This feels like the 2016 OSU officiating.

I think we've outgained PSU, and that's not including the huge Collins catch that was called back.  The scoreline for this game is extremely ref-aided.

Don't forget Shea sliding and getting rocket by targeting after the slide... no call. Glad to see Harbaugh was loosing his mind in the ref's ear on the sideline. He seems to be feeling the same as many of us tonight. 

The Collins PI was really grabby by both, not sure how you'd call it on just one guy.
