Records for Officials

[GaTechBuckeye]

I just ran across the article on the Big Ten's probe on referee Stephen Pamon (ESPN - Big Ten to probe into referee's alleged history of bankruptcy, abuse - College Football).

I was wondering....
Is there anywhere online you can check who was officiating past games. Like an online database or stat warehouse?

You can look them up game-by-game on tOSU's official site, but I know if nothing that lists the games worked by each official.

Look in the box scores, just after the scoring summary.

Bill Carollo talks Big Ten officiating

Big Ten officiating is in the crosshairs after the events of recent weeks.

There has been as much or more attention on the seven men in stripes and the two in the replay booth as the 22 men wearing helmets and pads. Big Ten coaches and players have openly questioned calls, and many fans, with the help of technology, have dissected key decisions and voiced their opinions as well.

Bill Carollo is well aware of the issues. The Big Ten's coordinator of football officials, in his fourth year on the job, oversees all the crews, addresses all questioned calls from coaches and provides answers, even if it's just, "We made a mistake and here's why." Carollo also manages all scheduling, training, evaluation and penalties for Big Ten officials.

League policy prohibits him from commenting on specific calls, but he spoke extensively with ESPN.com this week in an effort to shed more light on how games and officials are evaluated, instant replay issues, the consequences for mistakes and the key emphasis points for his crews.

"We were having a good year," Carollo said. "Have we stumbled the last couple weeks in some high-profile games? Absolutely. Are there a couple plays that I would like to have officiated differently? Absolutely. Is it going to be perfect? There's never been a perfect game -- played, coached or officiated. Never.

"But we certainly can be consistent. That's what our goal is."

Let's dive in ...

I also found the Beano Cook comments in this thread amusing:

This (Ohio State/Penn State 05) is one of the biggest games of the weekend. You have to remember that since PSU joined the Big Ten it is 7-15 against Michgian and OSU, including six stragiht losses against Michigan and six straight losses in Columbus against OSU. One reason PSU is not winning the way it used to is because the officials are no longer shafting the visiting team as they did in 1982 aganist Nebraska. People will tell you the officials in the Penn State games were the most biased of any in the '80s. That was the kind of stuff that cost them part of the national title in 1994. It was payback by the coaches.

A Penn State example: PSU beat Notre Dame in 1983, 34-31, in a game that was as tough as any I have ever seen and there was not a single penalty called against Penn State. That's the kind of monkey business I'm talking about. You think that would happen in the Michigan-Ohio State game. But Michigan doesn't feel like that was the case in 2001 at Michigan State, when one second took 10 seconds.
