Antonio Brown looks fucking ridiculous. 

He'll be broke 5 years out of the league and I'll see a pic of that necklace and laugh.

Maybe they can look at it after the game and retroactively suspend him for next week....if they win. 

Guess the big 12 is somehow pinning their hopes on ou making the playoff. 

 

That means the refs will be all about fucking us if we play OU

definition of lowering your helmet and hitting with the crown into the other guys helmet.  fuck this conference.  they are in the bag for OU.   Bowlsby is a fucking pussy and his refs suck shit.

No, they’ll get Sims apologize for being hit instead. 

Haven't seen this posted here yet:82c042faaa565ce8a6e54592565270c3.jpg

I expect the big xii to demand a public apology.

Fix is in boys. Better start prepping for OU. 

Several obvious penalties not called on OU. This is a joke. 

The replay center in Dallas only reviews against Texas, apparently. I get the on field refs missing it, but the replay center is supposed to catch that shit.

Problem is that defense only needs to make one stop. Because blOU doesn't stop scoring.

Give me WVU any day

we stopped them plenty for 3Q

Seriously, can targeting be more flagrant than that?  More obvious than that?

They could show that fucking hit to refs everywhere to demonstrate textbook targeting.

lol, yep the fix is in, they're not even hiding it anymore. 

Big 12 "officiating" is a total joke.  If that wasn't targeting, I don't know what is and they had like 5 minutes to review.

Someone in WVU pressbox should have been on it as well.  There were two full minutes of the guy being down for someone to page Holgorsen.

Yup it’s all fucked. Completely inexcusable that it wasn’t looked at, but you know somebody saw it in the booth or where ever they watch it and politely shut the replay monitor off for a couple minutes and excused themselves from the room. And fuck Holgo for not going completely fucking ballistic. He must be too drunk to care.

I’d rather play OU. Beat them twice in the same year. Make up for the other times we couldn’t.

That wasn't targeting.  The ballcarrier was still moving forward. 

What does that have to do anything?  Lowered head...hit with crown.  That's all that matters

That's terrible, that kid gets knocked out by obvious targeting and the Big 12 does nothing...fuck these guys

fucking bullshit the Big 12 didn't review that shit.  quit giving me the bullshit about protecting the players.  the OU safety should be out.

Wow.  Sims is pissed.  Let him hang out through the half at least.

Nah, it's textbook. He was defenseless because he was in the grasp of another defender.

No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)

Note 1: "Targeting" means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:

  • Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
  • A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground
  • Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
  • Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet
Quote

Note 2: Defenseless player (Rule 2-27-14):

  • A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.
  • A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
  • A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return.
  • A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
  • A player on the ground.
  • A player obviously out of the play.
  • A player who receives a blind-side block.
  • A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.
  • A quarterback any time after a change of possession.
  • A ball carrier who has obviously given himself up and is sliding feet-first

I’m not exactly old but the thought just dawned on me. Before review was instituted I don’t remember but a few plays per week that were controversial. Then there were a few that were key in getting review implemented. Now it seems as if there are 10 per game. The refs are getting lazy.

where were all the WVU coaches losing their shit though? Seems like they just took the non-call and didn't even protest

Yup, Holgerson should have sobered up for a moment and got on the ref's ass. 

Damn feel bad for Sims, good on WVU and the trainers taking care of him

Either of these teams are going to be tough.

blOU now knows they just need to target key WV players and knock them out of the game. Thanks XII.

exactly how to people not know the rule.  you hit any player with the crown with force and you are done.

That was utter horseshit not reviewing that for targeting.

And the defender led with the helmet.  

If it isn't targeting then there shouldn't be a concussion

Exactly

it didn't even matter if he was. that is what is so fucking crazy that they didn't review it. its all about not tossing an OU player.

Just to be clear, you don't need to be defenseless if it's to the head
