  • You Longhorns have become GD aggy. That was a hold in any game.  I’m rooting for you guys, but you’re becoming nuts with this conspiracy theory.  Peace out. Your board is insufferable on gam

  • LOL dont let the loss drive you nuts, I know its tough but it doesnt mean you should act like an idiot.

  • So I cant blame the refs?

Can't think of a worse officiated 30 minutes of football.......

Well except for Okie Lite game in Austin a few years back.......

Somehow that holding on a defensive lineman on a running play was WORSE than the one that got Strong fired up. Total fucking bullshit.

that was bizarre. that happens on literally ever play I've ever seen. 

Lunatics calling the game today 

I think calling a personal foul on doing the horns down is fucking weak as hell. And then their LT got tossed for a light shove? I don't care if we benefited from those calls. Because you know the refs at that time is going to make the game about them.

Rules need to be more clear on excessive celebration & taunting.....

Agree WVU OL being kicked out probably wrong call by Ref..... Give kid unsportsmanlike penalty, and if he commits another unsportsmanlike penalty he's automatically ejected....

He did on back to back plays. That’s why they tossed him. I’m at the game and didn’t see, wtf did he do?

Was that his first personal foul of the game? It had to have been, right? Yes I agree with calling the flag but not to eject him.

The horns down should not have been penalized but the ol took a step and the a punch as the other guy was walking away after the play was over. He deserved the flag. They should call that kind of stuff that tight more often.

Or, just have all refs from the ACC/B1G/SEC/XII & PAC, come from one centrally housed office of officiating... (ala NFL setup)...

They just reversed the 4th down call. What a fucking joke. No clear evidence at all. Unreal.

It'll be 900 before this 230 game with no weather delays is finally over

On both sides these guys are epic bad who the fuck calls defensive holding twice on interior defensive  lineman in a game? Fuck these refs

This one made me want to break things. Literally spending three minutes to find a way to deny the fist down and we end up getting zero points and lose by one. Fuck this shit. 

I still don't understand why the play for Texas (at the 21) wasn't reviewed.  How can you review the one at the 4 and not the one at the 21?  I honestly don't understand this.

I don't recall a holding penalty on WVU's offensive line.  How can holding be called TWICE on the defensive line and NONE on WVU?

Its taunting. Should be automatic call every time.

Obvious help for ousux right now. Trying to give ousux the lead

Cash money

What about the sack that was called horse collar when horse collar on QB in the pocket doesn’t exist?

Infuriating ^^

Edited by Lhorn

One slow change I have seen that's baffling, defense called for offsides for moving.  Used to be offense had to get set, defense could move at will as long as they weren't in the neutral zone or do something to draw the offense offsides like simulate a snap count.  Makes sense, offense knows the count, defense doesn't.  

Now you see a defense guy flinch but reset and gets called for offsides.  Watched WSU defense shift down the line and get called for drawing a false start.   But watching NW and dome, NW defender jumps but gets back, tackle moves and it's false start.   

That has become arbitrary and unevenly enforced.  

Defensive holding on a run play while engaged in a double team.  WTF.  

The officiating in the B12 is atrocious, instead of invisibly calling a game they appear to think they are part of the spotlight and want more stage time.  PAC is hardly better.   Between the officiating, the absurd round robin with a rematch, and all the shitty teams we have to play every year I'm ready to move on somewhere else.

I’ll be damned, I didn’t know that. 

Looked up the rule:

All players are prohibited from grabbing the inside back collar of the shoulder pads or jersey, the area, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately pulling the ball carrier down. This does not apply to a ball carrier, including a potential passer, who is inside the tackle box.

Making up rules actually doesn’t bother me. Their ability to make the correct ruling is so bad they might as well make up new ones.

I screamed, "FUCK YOU!" at the top of my lungs when they made the call. Women and children were sitting near me. I did not care.

That was some horseshit of the highest order.

they completely forgot the rule.  probably because they are so fucking worried about protecting the QB like he's made of glass.  Herman should have been all over their shit AGAIN on that.

Would be nice to have an assistant or two with a rulebook and walk out there to teach the referees their jobs.

A UT dlineman threw a punch the series before that & wasn’t even flagged.

I’m going to assume the refs didn’t see it, not that they were pulling for us.

I'm not even advocating for violence against these blind, on-the-take, self-important idiots, but one day an over-served, well armed fan is going to make good on a threat.   They aren't impartial officials anymore.  They are influencing the outcome of SO many games.  And, on top of that, they are just BAD.  Every single crew.  Ask almost any team in the Big 12... except maybe OSU.  T. Boone still buys the Thanksgiving turkey and mails in their Christmas bonus.

Remember playing pick-up basketball when you called your own fouls?

They should give that a try.

The taunting rules specifically state that a player may not point the ball at an opposing player.  Grier was doing exactly that before he crossed the goal line making it a live ball foul.  He should have been flagged for that instead of "Horns Down."  I think it is stupid to flag for Horns Down.  I think of it as a badge of honor.  Have never seen anyone flash a thumbs down or guns down during a game.

Uhh... a Texas player was flagged for "holstering" the guns against TT a few years back. 

I don't know which was worse the Tech game or the Texas game.  Both had blatant horrible calls.

Roy was flagged for the Hook em.
