Not to create a ton more work, but do you happen to have the totals for non-con/bowl games?  Would be interesting if these seemingly very undisciplined Longhorn teams suddenly get it under control when the crew isn't from the Big 12.

I think I did actually look at this last year. And I’m pretty sure that the calls weren’t nearly as lopsided in non-conference games. Like I remember there being a definite difference.

  • Media is just hung up on the 14-0 difference in penalties stat. The first flag of the game was a holding call on the OSU RT. The dumbass UT coaches declined the penalty, basically giving OSU 3 pts bec

Looking at the stats for the years listed in that chart, and without consideration of the timing of the penalty (did it extend opponent's drive? Did it kill a Texas one?) we were penalized more against La Tech, Rice, Colorado, Louisiana. We had the same number of penalties against LSU and Arkansas. Utah, UTEP, and Rice (2021) were penalized more than us.

This is me. Any offensive play over 15 yards, and any defensive play which results in a loss of yards for the offense, I immediately fix my eyes to the bottom of the screen and just wait for the yellow box to show up.

Huh.  The seemingly even distribution that you would expect to see.  Imagine that?

Context & timing of the penalties is what matters.

It ain’t rocket science.

 

Once again, said this last year…the chart is simply for comic relief. I know it doesn’t factor in the timing of the calls. The number of times we’ve been screwed on phantom calls or non-calls over the past decade or so is too many to remember at this point. In summary, of course the chart doesn’t tell the whole story…but it definitely tells A STORY.

” F the Rig 12 Refs”.  

Freudian slip, or intentional?

Sark should forfeit two plays into any Big 12 game.

The NFL rule is that a QB already affected by a defender before starting his throwing motion is fully responsible for the ball regardless.  NCAA isn't as clear.

Dead horse but I found it.  Play #1.

Well now I'm pissed off all over again.  

Young was either down or he grounded it. There's no other possible outcome

there was a receiver at the goal line on the young play which allowed them to negate the grounding   but yes he was down and it was a safety.

The deflection is not considered part of the pass.  You can actually catch an intentionally grounded pass off deflection and it's still a penalty.

"When we remove pass interference calls against UT, the number drops from 1.6 calls per game to 1.4."

The entire Big 12 referee pool needs to be fired....just start over.

Another bullshit targeting in the BU\ISU game.

Followed by another 15 yarder for touching too hard.

Who the fuck asked for these stupid rules?

Really bizarre call on that ISU linebacker. 

Booth initiated review in the ISU/Baylor game.  ISU gets fucked on the targeting call and goes apeshit.  No call on the field.  Big 12 booth bullshit call.  Everybody going to get fucked this year except OU and Baylor.  

The OOB hit was the worst of the 3 and it wasn’t called.

And Baylor scores first on a ref assisted drive.

We gotta get blackmail on these fuckin Big12 refs. Just fuckin atrocious across the board. I’m already getting pissed off about 3 flags set to occur in the future for our game.

The stat sheet has them fucking over Texas and Iowa State the most. At least they are consistent.

So the ISU RB is injured after a crown of the helmet hit....and crickets.

The rules aren't the problem. 

Head down, led with crown of helmet. Textbook (according to the bullshit rules).

Baylor headbutting people against their will and acting like nothing happened.

 

If you were going to teach young players what is/is not targeting, you'd show them how to keep their face up (like Overshown) and not to lower your head and launch (like what we just watched).

 

Just completely arbitrary enforcement... no attachment at all to the wording of the rule.

 

Watching the Mizzou game and an obvious PI gets ignored the ball is spiked and an Auburn player catches its runs it back and lowers his helmet and the crown hits the ear hole of a Mizzou tackle and lays him out.

It seems both Alabama schools are dirty fucks.

Baylor would never do anything without consent. 

The targeting thing wouldn't even be hard to solve.  Set up a run of the mill targeting penalty, then set up a unsportsmanlike conduct targeting penalty.  Both are 15 yards in the game.  Then set up an unsportsmanlike conduct "accumulation" system and once you get your third you sit the next game etc.  

Could still keep the system where if you get two unsportsmanlike penalties in one game you are kicked out of that game.

This is absolutely fixed. Unbelievable. Fuck these refs

Just now, Surly Bevo said:

LOL....they are not even trying to hide it.

Refs just straight up making shit up right now to give Baylor a new set of downs.

So the Big 12 has decided Baylor will be the bell cow after we leave? 

Ok that ISU defensive block below waist gotta be worst call I have ever seen, ever..

Credit Campbell calling timeout just to let refs have it.
