A quote from Urban Meyer's book "Above the Line" about scapegoating the referees:

"You are a secondary coach and you see a referee throw a flag on the 1-yard line for pass interference, and you immediately have a meltdown, throwing up your amrs and screaming at the guy, 'That's terrible. He didn't even touch him!' (Even though you know he did.) Do you do this because it's smart? Productive? Because it's in your best interests? No. You do it beause you're on autopilot, ruled by impulsiveness. Below the Line behavior is not only counterproductive, it completely sabotages your purpose. Years ago I was a hothead during games, a guy who would rip into referees, chase them down the field, and throw and kick stuff along the way. I did that because I was immature and gave in to impulsive behavior. Never mind that it accomplished nothing, and set a terrible example for my team - basically telling them that it's OK to look for a scapegoat when things go wrong. I didn't think. I just reacted. Below the Line."

And here is another quote from the same book:

"I remember when I lost a big game I couldn't accept it. I would scream and holler and pound my fists. I would blame anyone but myself for the outcome. Losing would make me so angry it was impossible to hide my deep, bitter disappointment. The last thing I would ever do is give any credit whatsoever to my opponents. It was clearly below the line behavior. But to be fair, I was only two years old at the time. (I think I may even have eaten my own boogers back then.)"

Doubting the authenticity of this quote. I don't believe Urban ever ate his own boogers.

(Of course, that would still be preferable to eating anyone else's boogers.)

The Chicago Tribune with a nice even-handed analysis (hint: you make not like all of the conclusions) that amounts to a big Go Fuck Yourself to HarbawLL. Not that his kinesiology degree will allow him to properly understand it.

It would also appear that the conference is none to pleased with Jimmy to have sat down with the Tribune for this article. By the time he's finished, I guarantee you that he'll burn every possible bridge--other coaches, the conference leadership, the refs and, though they may be in denial currently, eventually the UM administration won't be able to put him on a plane to an NFL city fast enough.

Perhaps the video makers were taking their cue from Harbaugh, who spent much of his postgame news conference railing on the officiating. The Big Ten reprimanded him and fined him a puny $10,000.

Spurred on by Harbaugh and perhaps the video, a radio station with more than 37,000 Twitter followers tweeted out Carollo's work phone number and extension with #FireBillCarollo and #BoycottB1GEvents. A security company is reviewing the threatening voice mails Carollo received.

Excellent article followed followed by this comment from perhaps a Penn State fan?

Carollo's conclusion that refs "are only human" underscores the entire problem. "Humans" can be incompetent, biased and corrupt. The technology to officiate games with minimal human intervention has been available for over 4 years.

But then again, if the Big 10 used this technology it couldn't to deploy corruptible "humans" to influence the outcome of games that puts the Big 10 in position to get more teams into post season tournaments or better position those teams seeds in playoff rankings.

By the undeniable existence and refusal to overturn abysmal calls over the past two years, Carollo has exposed himself and the Big 10 leadership as, at minimum, frauds and more likely a continuing criminal enterprise. You know, the type of people who should be drawing RICO investigations.« less
