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.

It's pretty egregious.  Even if the play hasn't been called yet, running into a player when he isn't looking and isn't engaged with you typically warrants a flag.  Of course, these jagoffs struggle to pull their pants on in the morning, so I'm not surprised they missed this call.

Well you've done it, WD. This is the case-cracker. I'm sure this is what will finally convince the refs to come out and admit they made some mistakes.

Look buddy, I admire your persistence, and I hate OSU as much as you, but no amount of play by play breakdown is going to change anything. The game is over. We lost. Right or wrong, call or no call, it happened. Nothing you can do about it. And even if the refs came out tomorrow morning and said they royally fucked up, the score still isn't changing.

Move on with your life.

All this after the fact angst is really getting embarrassing. Harbaugh was decried as a whiner and sore loser by some talking heads in the media -- he did not do himself any favors. Some of our fanbase is in a worse rutt, 24+ hours later. Stop the effing whining. Can we just effing move on?

crew screws someone else? The Big Ten just embarrassed themselves in front of the college football watching nation. This isn't about a single call that didn't go Michigan's way, it's about numerous calls and two different standards. Then, come to find out, 3 members of the officiating crew are from Ohio, at least two of whom have soiled records. Oh, and they are involved in the most controversial calls of the day. This is just unacceptable for any game but particularly a banner game. Until Ohio State compiles a video montage of missed calls I will conclude this was a deliberate effort to handicap Michigan. If they should come up with the video I'll modify my conclusion to incompetency. Both are wrong and the conference should address the issue.

Does it really make you feel good to attempt to be a patronizing asshole? Is that working for you? Because nobody actually thinks we can change the outcome of this game. It's future games. And its simply about what is right. Its about not taking this shit as a Michigan fan. So if you don't care, just sit this one out.

If a Michigan player hits a sucknut like that, it's an instant flag and personal foul. Makes me so mad that these refs aren't held accountable or have the shit beat out of them. Someone contact Mr. Ross the boss down in Miami and have him hire merks to clean fucking house. Enough is enough of these fucking sons of bitches.

Edit: I'm not saying to threaten their lives or anything but some people need to be put in their place from time to time. They need to be made an example of. A hit like that could've seriously hurt Watson. A hit from a guy that big when Watson is just standing there? That shit hurts your whole skeleton. That's so messed up. I'm just saying to break a knee cap or two and let them know that this shit isn't going to fly anymore. Get the word out.

There were at least two big crackback blocks with clear helmet to helmet in the game as well, one on Glasgow and another that I think was on Dymonte.  Both were highlighted by ESPN and both were "praised" for the good hits, although my understanding is that hitting a player in the head is the definition of a defenseless player and one of the big reasons for the targeting penalty being enforced.

Both were not called.

Please do a ref UFR like after the MSU game last season. It will help my sanity, and we don't have a Big10 championship game to worry about.

Webber also smacked one of our players in the face after the play was over sometime during the 4th quarter. The ref saw it and broke it up, but somehow felt a flag wasn't necessary. He did something like that against MSU and they flagged the MSU player for it.

bitching about the pass interference call in overtime from 2002. Is that going to be the same with all of you? I learned to walk away from football and sports stories/rankings after a loss. Ped State won and I stopped watching football for three weeks and volunteered to work all day Saturday to avoid a melt down from what was the best and worst game against Michigan ever. I realize it sucks. I said growing up, after watching John Cooper shit away great team after great team against you guys, that I would crash Michigans team bus on the way to Columbus if I was late in life and hadn't yet seen a National Championship by Ohio State. It's a rough patch for you guys. But it will come full circle. Sadly. So BUCK up! And pretend to be unfazed by it all because.....
