October 12, 20214 yr It is worded this way: "When in question a pass thrown in or behind the neutral zone is forward rather than a backwards pass." That's rule 2.19.2.b. It is a reviewable ruling.It says nothing about it being immediate. You can let it play out then after it’s played out make the incomplete call. Then replay can rule differently if warranted.On a play like that, no ref can tell whether it’s forward or backwards.At a minimum, I’d want the 5 yard loss. Not certain how they’d rule but if they blow it dead and ruled no clear recovery, it should be at the spot when blown dead.Just stop the game and review.

IDK He’s definitely got a passive personality on the sidelines. The only coach I can think of with that didn’t seem to get visibly angry at times and was very effective was sweater vest at OSU
October 12, 20214 yr Im actually not convinced of this, go watch the A&M Bama game. A&M got considerably fairer ref action than we typically get against OU or the infamous OSU game If A&M v Bama happened in the Big12, there is 0 chance A&M pulled that off aggy has learned to "take care of" the refs calling their games..at least that's the rumor heard by an aggy coworker who ran track there and doesn't really care about football.

His knee did get down. In slow mo it was clear the strip was just after the one knee went down. I thought it was a fumble live, but it wasn't.
October 12, 20214 yr His knee did get down. In slow mo it was clear the strip was just after the one knee went down. I thought it was a fumble live, but it wasn't.I didn’t say it wasn’t correct, but they were gonna absolutely give it back to ou.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Think we should be independent in football and we’ll regret the move to the SEC where the power teams covet our recruiting pipeline. I actually don't. I know they had some issues in the past, but their mistakes in officiating genuinely seem more like honest mistakes than one-sided systemic fuckery. No matter what other conference people tell me about their officials, we always do better when it is someone else's officiating crew and the OU/TTechs suffer from it. Poona Ford would have been a monster at Texas if for not all the god-damn holding. It is why he is a monster in the NFL.

October 13, 20214 yr Why do we have conference officials?There needs to be a national organization. You still have crews work together. They still can work regionally.The conferences obviously want the control. The whys are the question. They don’t want the problems associated with independence.

Similar to Texas high school in someways. In Texas, you have a state association. It is broken into regional chapters and the coaches get to strike certain crews as they are assigned. If both coaches can’t agree on a Ref crew within their own regional chapter, they can pay the costs to have another chapter send a crew. Occurs from time to time in key district games and in the playoffs. In the college ranks you could divide the nation into several regions and all the conferences in FCS would pre select and strike certain crews in a similar fashion.

I’m old to remember when the replay technology was used just to confirm catches and not every play. That one play is an example when at the moment it occurred I wish we had the old rule. But it’s probably best we have the ability to review more plays. It’s just the Rig 12 Refs seem to think we have all day for them to review things.

October 13, 20214 yr Does the conference release any type of correction from games? Some shit like “officials were wrong to award a completion to an OU receiver who ran out of bounds against Texas?” Or so they just not give a shit? Oh, they don’t give a shit? Fuck this conference.

Fuck this conference.Lololol..if they didn't apologize for Okie Lite 2015, there won't be any for this one.I keep hearing "officials don't decide the outcome of games blah blah" but there is no denying two of the blown calls led to 10 gooner points when it should have been a punt and turnover respectively. Did we do enough bad things to lose the game without that? Sure, but we also did enough good things to win with the lead built up in the first half.
October 14, 20214 yr So going back and rewatching the Boise State Oklahoma State game I noticed one distinct feature: The crew who called that game which screwed Boise State was the big 12 crew who called our TCU game which includes Kelly Deterding. Edited October 14, 20214 yr by BurntOrange&White

I know the NFL will occasionally acknowledge officiating mistakes, but does any other NCAA conference? I don't think so. Agree with the sentiment though. Done with shitty Big 12 officials and 11 AM kick-offs

Yet, you could only assume where the ball was because you could not actually see it in any angle of replay. That is not “indisputable.” That’s the problem with the way replay is executed, and we seem to always be on the losing end of the reviews.

October 15, 20214 yr The number of reviews in XII football is ridiculously large compared with other conferences' officiating. The excessive length of the reviews is even worse. Hell, I thought we had a 2-minute rule put on reviews a while back: from the time the replay officials stop play to look at forty-eight different camera angles, they have two (2) minutes to overturnor uphold the field call, and no decision by that time is a "play stands as called" and spectators can quit wondering wtf and start spectating again. Did I imagine that, or was it just lip service?

It was not a perfect angle as the ball was not observable from the TV replay angles shown. I believe it was the right call as well, but I also know that without seeing the ball, it is not possible to call it conclusive evidence. Once again, you are reacting to something that was not said. My shirt might be burnt orange but my glasses are clear. And I am clearly seeing bias in officiating within the conference, and I can point to multiple incidents of it throughout the years not just some one-off event.
October 15, 20214 yr My son and I are headed down tomorrow morning for our first game of the season. Please tell me it will be a fair, hard-fought battle with the Pokes without any fuckery from the officials. Is that too much to ask? I guess we’ll fuck around and find out.

October 15, 20214 yr But not as clear and obvious as the OU receiver being out of boundsOr Coburns helmet being stripped off on the same play..Or the fumble we recovered, yet even though Williams arm was still on the backstroke it was ruled an "incomplete forward pass"...when the ball spun behind him, not forward.Those two moments alone led to 10 gooner points even if all the other bad calls/no calls are ignored.
October 15, 20214 yr Both of these are true. I don’t buy the idea that the officials are in the tank for OU, but I do believe they see an “elite” team over and over and sort of get used to thinking that team isn’t fucking up on every single play. It’s kind of a blind spot more than bias. The problem is, even if we came into the game as the "elite team" (say we were undefeated and blowU lost to Kstate or something) I dont believe we get the same conscious or unconscious bias.
October 15, 20214 yr Yep, notice the 11am kicks for the rest of this season (even though many are TBA yet, they will be made all 11am-- just watch it happen!).

And, this bullshit treatment will help reinforce that this is our last Big12 season. Fuck the Big12!We all knew we would get the screwjob from Big12 officials after the SEC announcement, but it really hurts when it not only comes in our biggest conference game, but the only one with a chance of being called evenly since BlowU is also throwing up the double birds to the conference.
October 15, 20214 yr I don't believe that the Big 12 has instructed the refs to rule against Texas in any manner. It's definitely possible that they have instructed refs to protect OU since they have been the conference's best playoff shot the last few years. The problem for Texas is pretty simple, the talent pool that the refs are drawn from. Most fans of college football in the Big 12 footprint either love or hate Texas. Many of the fans who hate Texas blame Texas for a lot of their school's problems. They find it funny when Texas gets fucked over, often chalking it up to karma. So when the Big 12 picks refs they can't send Texas fans to ref Texas games, therefore, we get the refs who hate Texas. At best we get a ref who is indifferent but there's bound to be at least one Texas hater on the crew, likely more.

Did I imagine that, or was it just lip service? Yep.. The game last Saturday went way too long... I think Boise/BYU were well into the 1st qtr in the next time slot for the day when our game ended. The number of reviews and time notwithstanding with how long it takes is all one needs to know the quality if crap. I think they had to call the replay booth two or three times last week just to confirm the spot.
October 15, 20214 yr I applaud Sark for saying he wants another crack at them. I'm sure he's thinking that everything had to go OU's way to lose, if they don't fuck up one of the calls, call obvious holding a couple of times or they don't overturn the fumble we win. what he doesn't understand/know about the Big 12 is a rematch with OU(1 loss or undefeated) at the end of the year with Big 12 in the playoff on the line will be the exact same situation with the exact same fuckery. that said, I hope we get another crack at them. starting with the game this week.
October 15, 20214 yr 6 minutes ago, Tex Long said: Do refs screw OSU in Bedlam to the same extent? probably depends on the records of the teams involved, same answer for the big12 championship i do think for whatever reason Texas is shouldering the realignment hate , and OU is getting the easy treatment
