Brandon Watson absorbed cheap shot in front of ref, no call

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Doesn't surprise me one iota by who it was by. 

The slime buckets must pay. Because more and more is coming out showing that the fix was in.

People called me a whiner for calling out the terrible officiating last year across all sports. Ever since Harbaugh was hired, we have been targeted by this conference. 

Maybe it's time we fight back and throw our weight around before this happens again. 

Harbaugh doesn't put up with the BULLSHIT. And he's targeted because of that. You are ignorant if you deny that there is no pattern of there being terribly one-sided officiating in our games since he has taken over.

And you really don't think that if a Michigan guy made that hit it wouldn't have been a flagrant hit on an unprotected player? Come on, this game had horrible officiating and it was blatant. And this was one of the issues...

I'm sick of this. I don't care how much experience we lose and how much talent they return. Next year they come to the big house and I'll be damned if they leave with a victory. Fuck those scumbags! Their time is coming.

It happened at the 14:14 mark of the 4th Quarter. Speight throws the ball, a second later gets hit by a Buckeye, then a split second after that a second one gets to him and throws him to the ground. Of course that was on a third down play; who knows what would have happened had they called that one.

Probably deserves it's own thread but Twitterverse appears to be suggesting that Drevno may be in the running for the San Jose State job - thoughts?

If Harbaugh follows his same formula that he used for Don Brown . . . find the #1 Coordinator in the country and tell him "Get your ass over here", it will work out just fine.

Drevno calls a great game against the Illinios and Marylands of the world, but he becomes extremely one dimensional under pressure.

Well, mixed emotions.  I wouldn't want to lose him as the OL coach unless there's an upgrade, and as a fan I have no way of knowing if his replacement would be.  On the other hand, I thought the playcalling the last month was atrocious, and if what was said on the broadcast yesterday is to be believed, that it's him first, then Fisch and Harbaugh have some input and call some plays, good riddance.

 

Personally, I don't like position coaches calling the plays; in my (albeit limited) playing and coaching career, I've found it better to let position coaches coach their players during the game and have someone else dedicated solely to calling the plays while in communciation and coordination with the position coaches.  But given how Harbaugh's delegated the coaching, combined with limitations on numbers of coaches, I'm not sure how feasible my preference is.

 

So I wouldn't mind losing Drevno the play caller, but I'm not so sure I want to lose Drevno the OL coach.

I agree on your points. Play calling hasn't been awesome, thought it was better last year. But losing Drevno the OL coach would hurt.

If he leaves I'd probably promote Fisch to OC and hire the best possible OL coach out there; Harbaugh has to know someone who is close to as good as Drevno who he could get.

This one doesn't bother me all that much.  There's a play with an after the whistle scrum where an OSU guy slaps/punches Kinnel in the head.  Was a dead ball foul before a third and one they converted in the fourth quarter.  Would have been third and sixteen.

"We" fight back? Throw "our" weight around? What is it exactly that you are going to do? Do you legitimately believe that if there was something to do that would give Michigan an advantage, Harbaugh (and the University) wouldn't do it?

You're insulting the staff and embarrassing yourself.

Just shut the hell up. I don't care about your petty problems with me.

I'm standing up and continuing to call out the bias that has been going on for over a year now that people like you said there was no such thing as. How about now? 

WE are Michigan. We do not need this conference, they need us. 

Texas sure knows how to use their leverage and throw their weight around. Because the Big 12 would crumble without them. I'm not saying leave the B1G like others are. I'm saying to create some urgency and force reform.

And if you or anyone else has a problem with me calling Michigan--the team I have loved since I was in a hospital crib--we/us, then you and the others who share that feeling can take a hike.

It's been pretty clear why I've been trying to stay away this past week. This reminder thread is just to anger and rally the people even more. 

Missed calls are one thing. But what has come out on these people and what has happened in the last year+ just strokes the flames.

I am so fuming with anger with the more that comes out, I need to take a break for awhile.

it's a game. I use to be like u and live and die with every win or loss. be a man and get over it. if your entire life is MICHIGAN sports, I feel sorry for you. and before you start in on me, I've lived in Ohio my whole life, I deal with more shit being a Michigan fan in a week than you have dealt with in your 20 years on earth.

Dude. You need to relax, man. A few things:

1) You're wrong. I never said there wasn't bias.
2) I've contacted the Athletic Department and Big Ten with a written complaint so stop jumping to conclusions about me.
3) Does Texas throwing their weight around get them good calls or something? Do you have any reason to think Texas is the model we should emulate? Or are you just spouting stuff off? I recall a lot of people thinking Texas is annoying and not wanting them in the conference for being a bully.
4) I ask you again since you didn't answer me before and went on a tirade instead: what is it exactly that you're going to do? I've done something. Or are you just going to bitch about your officiating snowflake on the board?
5) Do yourself a favor and try to gain some perspective in life.

You can find that clip and a bunch of other in my twitter account. It's part of my post-game recap.

There's also a clip of Gedeon running Weber out of bounds, which Weber didn't like. So he bowls the ball at the refs feet in disgust. The ref smiles and pats Weber on the ass.

I remember reading all the fluff on how Weber was a 4.0 high school student and was a humanitarian in the community. Sure hasn't shown that at OSU

I know people are getting tired of ref rants but I'm not one of them. Can someone please make a complete compilation of all the bad/missed calls. Turns out the post yesterday was only half. The speight late hit wasn't even included in that. Someone give me full visual evidence. I live in Ohio for fuck sake. PLEASE!
