The BWI thread by Bushwood still ranting about the "b1g turd trolls" and the officiating from last year's Ohio St. game really is some awesome stuff. I do love me some Victor E. Bell. If there is a God in heaven, I pray that the Pedsters lose this year to Ohio St. on a horrific blown call on seventh and goal.

Victor E. Bell: "I would not be surprised to see anything from awarding an extra quarter of play for one of our opponents to catch up, to 6 or 7 downs in a series, to waving off a FG we hit down the middle and calling it wide. It's such a joke anymore that it mocks fair competition and I really don't understand why there isn't a larger revolt among people who pay good money to see this crap. It is like a batter hits a fly ball to center that is caught and is awarded 1st base, only it happens again and again and again. The games are a farce. I can pay to see roller derby or WWE or the circus, or the Harlem Globetrotters just as easily."
dawgjuice: "This is why we get ZERO chance to beat a team as good as OSU "and" the "Officials". The Officials are good for 10 points to OSU. Look, the problem is they are "kind of human". They make human mistakes AND they knowingly make calls against PSU for a number of reasons. Many are from the inbred Big 10 conference PLUS many just hate PSU and what it truly stands for. Which is doing things the right way which is mostly anti Big 10."
Bushwood CC: "Yea, the b1g turd cheaters playing a huge role in 3 of their 5 scores (17 points had nothing to do with it). LMFAO, tO$U's average drive all day was 5 plays and 18.5 yards and 100% of the obviously wrong calls all went against PSU and helped tO$U score on each of the drives in question -- just mere "coinky dink" don't you know? Again, LMFAO that tO$U needs such help and never has to overcome such clearly corrupt officiating but this proves how awesome they are?!?! You corrupt b1g turd huggers and defenders are too funny, beyond comical."
PSU87: "I'm sorry, but I'm really, really sick of that rationale. Whether we SHOULD be good enough to overcome those calls is immaterial. It is indisputable that we SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. Why should we have to be good enough to overcome BOTH the other team AND the refs? Why?
That it has happened consistently, over and over and over again is inexcusable."
Victor E. Bell: "I actually agree with you on this, and as such I advocate any and all manner of scoring at any stage of the game irrespective of the score. Fake a knee and throw a meaningless F.U. touchdown? No problem here. Flea flickers up 37 late in the 4th? Might have to overcome some bad calls. This is the climate, so it's fine with me. Anything goes. No quarter. What does Penn State have to lose? What, we might make somebody mad? We might make an enemy in this conference? Oh no!"
Bushwood CC: "Not to mention that it was far more than 2 bad calls - you have the Hull call in OT which was complete BS. Many don't remember, but Barrett took a knee at the end of the 1st Half on 4th & 7 in their own territory - his knee hit the ground in between the tO$U 37 and 38 yard line and there was still time on the clock, but the Officials ignored the fact (Clock has to stop as soon as he downs the ball on change of possession). PSU could have lined up and attempted a long FG. On PSU's 3rd Down play in 2OT, DaeSean Hamilton was clearly interfered with but no flag - the tO$U defender literally reached out and grabbed his jersey and pulled on it as he was attempting to make it to ball in endzone."
mn78psu83: "PSU most likely will never in our lifetime get a fair shake from this conference in football."
psufan9808: "Why do some people apologize for the corruption? It's like you people have Stockholm syndrome. Yes, they abused the crap out of us but the two worst game changing calls were in the first half so we have to be better. WTF? Yes, 1st half, as in first series turnover on our end. That doesn't set the tone of a game at all does it? It's not like coaches talk about how important that first drive is to the game or anything. Refs should be able to spot a team 21 points, not just 10 or 17, and the team has to be at least 21 points better than the opponent or there is no legitimacy to video evidence of multiple egregious errors ALL favoring the conference darlings."
chrisrn1965: "I don't buy the whole "well you just have to overcome bad calls". There needs to be better accountability for incompetent officiating. When will this conference clean up its act?"
Option Bob: "Some claim that PSU fans should accept the fate of the numerous biased calls because the Lions have benefitted -- TW
CE in 20+ years, mind you -- with game-changing calls. One was 1997 vs Minny on a fumble by McQ. JoePa even apologized to the Gophers for it. Then, lo and behold, it happened again in 2000-something on a pass interference that was close enough for a call or a non-call. Do those 2 calls "even out" the bizarre, rule-bemding, never-seen-before blatant bias calls against PSU in games vs Michigan and Ohio State from 1993-2014?
Really? Gosh, maybe one can bring up 1982 Nebraska next."
Victor E. Bell: "No worries Option Robert! We will get all these calls back against Buffalo, SDSU, and Army. There are three teams for which I do feel some sympathy. They are playing the PSU role and we will be playing the OSU role in those games. Instead of 28-7 some of those games may go 42-7."
N&B4PSU: "Are some of the people responding in this thread actually penn state fans (sure sound like bot trolls -- those who want us to lose -- to me)? have they actually been with this program since we entered the big bunch of crap? anyone who has watched this joke of a conference do everything in its power to screw us when we play LEGIT powers and thinks it's some kind of normal occurrence should just toss their pink panties into the bin and frolic with the enemy. good fing riddance to ll of 'em.."
