What a waste of time. I wish this thread would be deleted. Bad calls? Sure. Has tOSU ever been the benefactor of bad calls? You betcha. I think we need to move on. Let's not be "that guy" who always seems to blame the ref because his team lost. If we would have kicked the shit out of them by 31 this would be a non-issue. But since we ended up on the short end of the scoreboard we should be whiney bitches? Not me.

Once again, I conceded in the initial post that there were other factors that led to our loss. I'm not blaming JUST the officiating, but when you watch the game again and see the horrendous job that the officiating crew did I think we have a right to complain. These people get PAID to officiate, yet perform like this and are basically not held accountable. If you don't like the video, don't watch it, it's that simple. The title clearly says what the video is about, so if you downloaded it knowing what to expect you lose the right to bitch about your time being wasted.

I agree, my bad for downloading it. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Concerning the officials-
There are certain elements of a football game that a coach(ing staff)/team/fans have control of: (respectively) play calling, effort, volume of a stadium, etc.
There are certain elements of a game that a coach(ing staff)/team/fans have no control of: weather, the other team, the way the odd-shaped bounces, and referees.

Ignorant fans bitch about referees. Informed fans realize that there is not a damn thing you can do about them. Don't be a bitch.

I disagree. I think the cliche, "the squeeky wheel get's the grease" is pretty appropriate. I think you can influence the officials in the sense that if you're a head coach and you're getting on them about missing plays they are likely to pay a little more attention. JT just sits there and takes it while JoPa is constantly running his mouth.

With some officials at certain levels of play you may be right. However, these officials are considered some of the best at what they do (and paid big bucks) because of their ability to make a proper call and to manage coaching staffs and players. There aren't too many make-up calls and pity flags at this level.
I know some officials who will throw flags at things they look for because a coach is annoying. Referees are people too. And just like everyone else in the world, they make mistakes. Some of those mistakes may just be clumped together.

But if these guys are so good, how do they miss obvious calls so often? I'm not crying about the officials in the OSU-PSU game, I'm crying about all officiating. There is almost zero consistency on penalty calls within a single game, much less between games. I can live with a billion flags or zero flags, as long as there is some level of consistency, but there rarely is.

I don't know, no one knows why officials suck so bad. That is why we all hate them. :lol:
I'm not trying to be a dick here, SW. I'm pointing out that by complaining about something no one can control it makes us all look like fags.

I understand, but keep in mind, I'm not complaining that the officiating is the reason we lost. I'm just saying it was a factor. PSU is a good team and their crowd was really into the game. I would prefer to NOT have a reason to complain about the officiating, but this game was just so horribly called.
