they just missed a blatant, and i mean blatant, offsides on a 4th down

this PAC 12 crew is pathetic

They should be tarred & feathered in the town square!

As for the player who dropped a pass, stuff happens.

I’m all for keeping the rule, so long as it’s called correctly, and consistently. As it stands right now, it’s neither.

I think it needs to be significantly tweaked to remove the likelihood of ejection in all but the most blatant of hits. Unsportsmanlike conduct with a yellow card type of infraction (two and you're out) would be much more fair in the vast majority of cases.

Is that what he said? We know that?

The ref initiated the contact, unnecessarily. His ego ejected the player. That's poor officiating.

Officials are not supposed to instigate, unless they're MLB umps (who are simply ridiculous) or TV Ted.

We don't but he was yelling in his face and I'm 95% sure it wasn't just how was your holiday. It is what it is at this point but I'm 50/50 on it at this point. The official wasn't blameless but the kid wasn't a complete angel either.

Agreed. I also don’t like the idea of immediate ejection. Taking the severity out of the penalty a bit, while still enforcing it might be a step in the right direction. Do the same thing as Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Two and you’re gone.

I love that they’re using the Black Keys to advertise the Nashville Music City Bowl.

Classic.

they should be graded weekly and not allowed to practice the art if they aren't good enough to officiate a game to a certain minimal level

 

[Dryden]

Did that ref say, "chop block" or "cock block?"

 

[Telekinesis]

Wtf... LOL

 

[dragurd]

Well what a moron

 

[Bestbuck36]

Lord these refs in this NW/UK game are some pussies. Every little thing is a damn penalty? Grow some skin and let the kids play some football

Well 34 for Kentucky was pretty damn stupid. That was penalty in any game

the last two penalties (holding during run and slapping opponent's helmet) were certainly warranted, though. the ejections were stupid, but if you're knocking opponents' helmets after the play or blatantly holding on the edge, it should be called.

 

[Bestbuck36]

In general, they've just sucked. No ifs ands or buts about it

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Wow. That none holding call just cost them 7.

I like that the Sun Bowl Trophy has a base the size of the Fiesta Bowl Trophy, but the actual trophy is maybe 12-16 inches.
