2017 CFB Bowl Games Open Thread

Ah, so this mess of a game is going to get blamed on the BIG. Makes sense.

Good. Leave us out, and let us piss on your cheerios.

I turn on the game for the first time tonight in 2nd half and see a clear false start called offsides that wasn’t even offsides. Then an insanely obvious face mask. Then likely a block in the back on the return. All by Bama none called. Yeah I am promptly changing the channel already. What a joke.

Typical BIG Ten refs. Two major blown calls that hurt UG

BREAKING NEWS: Big Ten Refs Blow.

Who the F thought it was a good idea to have Big Ten refs officiate the the biggest game of the college football season?

They all blow. I've never seen any game thread where someone commented: these conference refs call a good game.

 

[Buckeye513]

They don't even know what down it is. Fuck sake.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Then B1G ref calls it 1st down on 3rd and 7.

does hurts transfer now?

 

[KOBuckeye]

It's just funny as hell to me that I don't ever remembering Alabama running a spread offense with a DT QB until after they lost to our Buckeyes. Urban teachin Saban a lesson.

 

[Buckeye513]

Between that third down, the missed calls, and Satan bringing in a freshman QB this has some solid potential to be another Georgia sports classic.

Eh. Maybe. But the missed block in the back, followed by the offsides that should have been a false start, followed by the obvious missed facemask, followed by the ref announcing it was 1st down when it really was 3rd and 7 was a hell of a 5-minute sequence of gaffes. And it's perfectly consistent with the clown show that is Big Ten officiating. Let me put it this way: there's no way it'd be worse had another conference been chosen.

Targeting. You're ejected from this thread.

I see Kirby fixed the dumb special teams mistakes at half time.

 

[Hstead]

I will give Saban credit, he has the balls to bench his QB for a better thrower. Kudos

 

[Dryden]

Feels like Fromm's telegraphing these throws and due for a pick 6.

 

[Dryden]

Wow.
