Obvious PI would have been at least a FG but likely a td. 2 pt conversion. Tackle our DE on Pavia’s run. This is at least 8 points and possibly 16 that Texas got fucked out of. This isn’t counting what might have happened without the “hit out of bounds” or the ridiculous false start. This level of ineptitude fucks with the integrity of the game.

The refs are. You can't have calls like that.

November 2Nov 2 In reality, the ref was probably looking directly at the pylon. The ball got really close to the chalk, depending on the angle it looked like the laces may have touched it, and the pylon obscured the guys vision from telling. He called it good and they couldn’t overturn it. Live, I thought they were just reviewing it because it was a potential scoring play. I didn’t see him signal that it was good. From the broadcast angle, it wasn’t close.

They don't see it as giving the other team an opportunity for a small victory that they would otherwise not have. They also don't know the value of three points until very late in the game. While I'm not a fan of Jimbo Fisher, I heard him make a very good point a few weeks ago on XM 84. He did that the "analytics" only tell you how often something works, but they don't tell you what happens afterwards if it doesn't work.

Everyone seemed focused on whether the ball hit the pylon, ignoring the fact that he was down before that.

Onside kick or something and a huge pileup, the ball squirts out and an OU guy picks it up and is holding it. Refs spend like 5 min trying to unravel the pile looking for the ball, the OU guy is holding it standing to the side and tries to give it to the ref. Refs keep digging in and award the ball to Oregon. HAHA did OU get fucked on that one.

Any decent analytics team now reports on each decision based on net points EV, win probability, or some other end game result for the decision.

Vandy DB was all over him well before the catch. Flags should have been coming out before he even stretched his hands out for the ball. Just another flagrant, willfully ignored foul against Vandy.

Any decent analytics team now reports on each decision based on net points EV, win probability, or some other end game result for the decision. That's all math. If Jimbo is agreeing with me, we're talking about the emotional shift. What is their calculation for the victory for the team who stops the offense and, for all practical purposes, scores three points themselves? The result of that is not necessarily reflected in victory. Houston sprang back to life and still barely lost. Would the analysis conclude that it was wise of Texas to put that game is such jeopardy? The table that coaches used for years about going for two or not has also been flawed. It depends on where you are in the game.

November 3Nov 3 The announcers showed the kick a million times but didn't show that Oklahoma recovered it even if they happened to touch it first.
