Fuck the refs and Delaney. But metellus fucked this game up bad. And I like the kid but he's terrible..

Agree we need to make some of those plays and it's on us that we didn't. However, the officials should call a fair game for no other reason than these kids are putting their heart and soul into this game -- kids on both teams -- and the game should be decided on the field in a fair contest. The refs are not bad. They are biased.

that would have kept them out of the endzone and possibly led to a fg try, and those are the mistakes along better field position, which again have resulted from no-calls on punts. I mean they call an illegal formation on a Michigan punt and then ignore multiple illegal blocks downfield.

I get letting them play, especially in rivalry games when everyone's jacked and it's close, but there's a line and it's not even that fine. Flagging tick tack holds on O and D yet choking on whistles on obvious clips and the like doesn't work. Refs can throw flags on virtually every snap, particularly holding but there must be better balance. Metellus grabs that INT though and fans may not scrutinize refs as much until later in the game - those are the plays they absolutely need. Should be clear at this point they need to remove the game from refs hands as much as possible - not fair but factual

I actually officiate some lower level college ball.  I can assure you that the refs aren't intentionally blowing these calls to favor one team or the other.  Honestly, when you officiate theres so many bullets flying and everything is so fast that you just focus on your keys.  Stuff gets missed and thats just how it goes.

That being said, this crew had a rough first half.  I've counted 2 missed block in the backs, one bad holding call on Hudson, one bad holding call on Bredenson and one really shoddy spot on the O'Korn play.

but I don't think think it is on the refs. They didn't drop an easy interception, lose contain and let Barrett walk in from 21 yards, over throw receivers, or take unnecessary sacks. stop beating ourselves and then worry about beating the refs.

its almost Blatant now..what can be done? One call after another after another favoring OSU and no calls for holding when they are doing the same or worse..and that WAS a first  down at the end of the half..and on and on and on..This is getting out of hand..Prob tyhe worst Ive seen in years and I saw last year

If they refuse to call holding and PI then maybe they'll refuse to call pushing off too. Seriously, though. Even the announcers are getting all the penalties right, so it's possible.

we need to not use the ref excuse. win a fucking game. play harder. smarter. more physical. more creative. instead, we run a basic lame offense all year to not put anything on tape for osu, and in doing so, we suck at running the new schemes. this program, team, harbaugh, needs a wake-up call. lets turn jim into the recruiting coordinator, and bring jack back to run the show. the last 10 years have been horseshit. the last 10 weeks have been horseshit!!!

Of course Michigan has blown opportunities! So has OSU! Same shit I said last year. Not playing a perfect game is not justification for lopsided reffing. These refs have been atrocious.

THAT'S TWO OSU DRIVES THAT WERE EXTENDED, AND TWO UMICH DRIVES THAT WERE ENDED BY WRONG OR NON-CALLS THAT EVEN THE FOX COMMENTATORS IDENTIFIED.

Gonna bet they're bitching over at Eleven Mouthbreathers, too. I get emotional as well but the conspiracy stuff needs to stop.
