W-L Record with John O'Neill as Referee

Did we beat Iowa in 2011??

I get the overall feeling of frustration, but can we please not drop to this level?

If we had lost all of the games that O'Neill officiated, or all of them besides Rutgers, you might have the torch and pitchfork people getting out their tikis and polishing their tines but 

*Your afterbrain is the part of you that says oh wait right after you post something. 

Meh, reffing is low on the list of reasons we lost on Saturday. I'd say lady luck is #1 in my book. MSU recovered both our fumbles. Lewerke recovers a fumbled snap and lands on his lineman and rolls for a first down. How on earth did they recover that muffed punt? The returner was running full speed and got shoved right before he fielded the ball and it bounced right into his chest. That was one of the most pivotal plays of the game. At worst, we get the ball inside the 10. At best, it's a touchdown for us. But alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Agree with comments above that the refs certainly did not cost us this game.  But is someone able to explain what happened I believe just before O'Korn's 2nd interception?  There were two penalties on the play as we were just short of midfield.  As I recall a holding against Michigan and something in the defensive secondary against MSU.  Yet, the penalties did not offset and we ended up with a 1st & 20.  O'Korn threw an interception I believe 2 plays later on something like 2nd & 13.

I was watching the game in a bar so couldn't hear enough to get an explanation but the way the penalties were assessed put us behind the chains and into an obvious passing situation during the storm.

So...you are not even going to attempt to compare this record to games when this dude was not the ref? Embarassing thread for the fanbase. 

edit: The OP updated his/her post with a comparison (without noting that he/she did so).

This is pathetic. Just stop.

Saw the game in person and didn't have the heart to rewatch later, wtf happened on the Grant Perry td that got overturned? It looked like he was in the endzone easily, what was the reasoning for putting him at the one?

this is going to be a long week

Just for comparison the overall record during this span is 55 - 25. Under Harbaugh is 24-7. With this guy as the official we are 2-3. So of our losses he has officiated in almost half them under Jim. 

There were a few game effecting calls. 

Missed P.I and Missed Roughing The Passer.

But this was a clear game of who had the lead before the storm hit. We didn't finish on the few drives we had pre-storm and then once the rain. I think once the rain came Michigan felt it had to push everytime to score and it made errors it didn't need to do. Michigan State was content to secure the ball and play defense.
