Maybe, but certainly you know that the refs have long attempted to cover their tracks by calling meaningless penalties on Ohio State and Michigan in situations where it won't hurt them too bad all so that they can completely shift momentum and alter the outcome of the game against Penn State's at key moments. And they would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the tireless work on bwi.

Off-topic. I'm a fairly surprised and a little sad that they aren't arguing satellites don't exist, since they CAN'T exist with a flat earth.

Finally saw something on BWI that amused me.

What it has to do with satellites, I have no idea.

I'll leave it to you guys to decide if they've omitted anything significant, or misrepresented any proportions.
(Since I know y'all tend to be preoccupied about size.)

Just for the record, in the 2014 OSU-PSU game the Buckeyes had four pre-snap penalties (3 procedure, 1 delay).

The other four penalties were all major, all gave Penn State first downs, and all very much affected the game:

1. Pass interference on 3rd-and-6; automatic first down to extend drive

2. Roughing the passer on 2nd-and-20; instead of a sack and 3rd-and-30, Penn State gets a gift first down; they eventually score a TD on that drive

3. Another pass interference on 3rd-and-3; another automatic first down to extend drive

4. The Big One: With 35 seconds left in the game, Penn State at midfield facing 2nd-and-17; they complete a 7-yard pass and the officials call yet another roughing the passer penalty. Instead of facing 3rd-and-10 at the OSU 43-yard line, PSU gets 15 free yards and 1st-and-10 at the OSU 28-yard line. Of course, Penn State went on to kick the game-tying field goal as regulation time expired.

PI and roughing are always judgment calls. The final roughing call was, shall we say, extremely questionable ... almost like the officials were favoring Penn State or something.

See, two can play this game.

More from the "Will History Repeat Itself" thread:
https://bwi.forums.rivals.com/threads/will-history-repeat-itself-vs-osu.150055/

It's not a matter of IF history will repeat itself, it's HOW will history repeat itself. We should all take "fun bets" leading up to the OSU game on what type of call / non-call will mysteriously happen vs. OSU to help swing momentum to them. Will it be a fathom holding call like last year???? Will it be mis-intepreting the clock like 2 years ago?? Will it be a questionable interpretation from the replay booth ?? Will it be an in bounds / out of bounds call like so many of those Michigan games?? Will it be a non-call or an actual call??

.... Have no doubt. There will be some type of call early in the OSU game that will definitely go OSU's way. That is a definite

What is a fathom holding call? Isn't a fathom an old-fashioned unit of water depth? I don't think I've ever heard of another kind of fathom. I'm sure this guy is a Penn State grad, so I'm sure he is much more knowledgeable than I am.
And a questionable interpretation from the replay booth? I thought there was NO interpretation from the replay booth. Their equipment was FUBAR'd - nothing was working. Can't overturn a call based on crowd reaction to a play.

What happens if Ohio State wins 70-0, without a single penalty called against Penn State (10 for 100 yards on Ohio State)? Show me Ohio State picking up a first down on 3rd-and-20, get called for holding, and then picking up the first down on 3rd-and-30. I want to see Penn State attempt a field goal, have it miss, but Ohio State gets called for leaping (automatic first down), only to get a pick-6 on the next play. I want to see Penn State "complete" bounce-pass after bounce-pass, only to fumble on the next play. I want to see them get the snap off 5 seconds after the play clock hits :00, only to get sacked. All that, and I want to see Ohio State going for the on-side kick with :50 remaining in the game and have one Buckeye player's helmet over the line of scrimmage that isn't called. See if THAT makes it on their list of "games where the referees screwed us".

RE: #4, they were ruled short of a first down with 0:48 left, but it was reviewed and overturned. Now that was the right call, but they sure forgot to favor OSU on that drive. Maybe our fund was used up in the first half?

They will find a way. They'll latch onto several missed penalties (HOLDING!) against Ohio State that the refs did not call on early scoring drives which totally turned the momentum of the game in Ohio State's favor and after that they didn't need to call anything on PSU---but certainly would have had PSU ever threatened. The cult will always find a way.
