Asked this in thread below re: Carollo's statements but nobody seems to be able to answer it

[Bushwood CC]

Here is the comment I'm referring to - below link to article citing his comments:

'We kicked those calls,' Big Ten officiating head says of Penn State-Ohio State game

*******************************************************
From that incident, Carollo said, several additional "failsafe replay mechanisms" were put into place. Among them was the addition of a television, with the sound muted, in every Big Ten replay booth the following weekend.
*******************************************************

Complete made up bull$hit that b1g Turd Replay Officials did not have access to a live feed of the broadcast until the week after PSU-tO$U game....just simply NOT POSSIBLE. The b1g Turd was the first conference to use Instant Replay Review at the direct insistence and lobbying of Joe Paterno. The league has always claimed that EVERY PLAY is reviewed and the Replay Officials can call for an "Official Review" by calling down to the Referee -- how precisely would this be possible if the Replay Officials do not have any of their monitors receiving a live feed??? Furthermore, O'Neil directly after the game claimed that officials did review the live feed and it was inconclusive (a clear LIE) saying the officials saw the same replays everyone saw at home... (the NCAA Rulebook calls for the provision of a live feed of the broadcast being made available to officials and they can use other specialized equipment if the conference chooses, but of course a live feed has to be provided or how else are the Replay Officials going to be able to watch the game "close up" and even begin to understand what is a close call and potentially in need of review??? O'Neil's bull$hit lie was a lame attempt to cover for their clear cheating by acknowledging the questioner's inquiry and stating that the Replay Officials could not access the specialized views but the Replay Officials saw the "same replays you saw at home" -- clear LIE, I call bull$hit!!). Carollo then morphs the bull$hit slightly and claims no live feed is made available to Replay Officials and just specialized replay equipment is all the have - again, I call bull$hit, because if this were true up to the PSU-tO$U game and only the next week they provided a live feed than the league was lying that every play in the game is watched and "reviewed" by the Replay Officials and if they see something that looks like it needs reviewed they can call for an "Official Review" by calling on-field Referee. Both O'Neil and Carollo are clearly LYING and attempting to slowly "spin" the situation and make it more and more obtuse -- not possible that the Replay Officials did not watch the live game feed on their monitors otherwise they would not be "reviewing every play" and know when to call for a closer look and more angles on their specialized replay equipment!

Did you not note his "temporary outrage" to appease his critics? It was clearly a case of "oops, we got caught and I vow this will never happen again". He 'she Delaneys pawn.

Reality....history repeats itself.

I love this line:

My philosophy is, I man up," Bill Carollo, the Big Ten's coordinator of officials, said in an interview Friday at the Big Ten media days.

BWAHAHA!

He "mans up" so much that not a single big ten ref has been punished or held to account for some pretty bad calls in the osu game last year (and in other games). I mean- when your only job is to watch the play clock and it hits 0.....but you still don't notice that for 3-4 seconds after it hit 0, there's just no excuse.

No doubt, this bush-league is packed with lowlife chumbuckets from top-to-bottom. O'Neil and Carollo are clearly lying about whether a live feed of the broadcast was available and reviewed - Carollo's claim that a live feed was never made available, but started being made available the following week, is CLEAR bull$hit and how no one from PSU called him on this outright lie is rather shocking and disgraceful; there is no way the Replay Officials can be WATCHING AND REVIEWING EVERY PLAY if they have no access to a live feed of the broadcast!!

Did you notice how Carollo repeated O'Neil's LIE that errors involving the clock are not reviewable??? This is another outright LIE and not consistent with the NCAA Rulebook -- the NCAA Rulebook says that clear and obvious mistakes involving the clock ARE REVIEWABLE, but they must be obvious and egregious. Since Replay Review has been instituted, there has been all kind of reviews involving clock errors and review of same. So why is the scumbucket conference clearly lying and why has there not been calls for an investigation given the clear evidence of intentional fraud on the part of this corrupt conference, especially given the amount of money that is wagered legally on CFB (or the amount of money this clear corruption cost B12 Athletic Departments.....etc....). This conference's total disregard for the "integrity of the game" and willingness to lie and use intentional misrepresentations is rather shocking and Federal Authorities should be paying attention given the potential sums of money impacted by these frauds given bowl payouts, legalized gambling venues, etc...

What evidence do you have that they noticed it after 4 seconds? That tO$U kicker could have kicked that ball 10 seconds after the clock expired and there is absolutely zero evidence that the officials were going to throw a flag! How about Carollo repeating the lame Referee's LIE that plays involving the clock are not reviewable? This simply IS NOT TRUE and NOT WHAT THE RULEBOOK SAYS -- in other words, it is an intentional misrepresentation, A LIE.

I said 3 to 4 seconds because IIRC the field-goal was kicked about 3.5 seconds after the clock hit zero.

Here was your quote:

".....when your only job is to watch the play clock and it hits 0.....but you still don't notice that for 3-4 seconds after it hit 0, there's just no excuse."

This phraseology clearly implies that the official did actually notice that the clock had hit zero but only after a delay of 3-4 seconds after the clock hit 0.....I still contend that there is ZERO EVIDENCE that any official was getting ready to, OR WOULD HAVE, thrown a flag whether another second, 5 or even 10 seconds had run off. What is giving you the impression that they were getting ready to throw a flag if the kicker had not kicked it when he did is a mystery to me.

Give it a rest. I told you what I meant and it was pretty obvious. You need to drop out of argumentative mode every once in a while.

What's obvious, that they would have dropped a flag if another half second had ticked off? Nope, I think the dead opposite is quite obvious, no flag was forthcoming whether the kicker took another half-second or 20 half-seconds went by, no flag was going to be dropped on the play prior to the kicker finally having the ball snapped contrary to your insinuation.

 

[ChiTownLion]

Good points, GR. Someone needs to ask Carollo/Delany if every play is, in fact, supposedly reviewable to the replay official in the booth -- and what procedures are/were in place in the event of a "malfunction."

FWIW, I absolutely do believe that a handful of B1G refs were corrupt to the core in the Lloyd Carr years. That may still be true, but I'm not sure. Last year's screw job at Michigan was certainly cause for concern. I do have a theory that certain Big Ten officials were incentivised to "help" Michigan back in the day (1999, 2002, 2005, etc).

Although most of our old referine enemies have since retired, I feel like we have a new problem in John O'Neill. No idea if he's on the take like Honig/Witvoet/Parry/etc, but he clearly HATES Penn State (told our guys they were "lucky to be playing" at Wisconsin, screwed us at Nebraska as McGloin pointed out, screwed us over hardcore vs OSU last year, etc). O'Neill is also on the Board of Trustees at St. Rita HS in Chicago where that jagbag Tim Baffoe teaches English and trolls PSU fans on twitter for Dan Bernstein (for whom he's a PT "writer" with several horrible columns condemning PSU "culture").

O'Neill also tweeted laughter in response to PSU fans complaining about the screw job vs OSU last year. Of course, his twitter account was suddenly deleted shortly thereafter.

 

[ChiTownLion]

Would also love to see someone reproduce some kind of video replay from last year's PSU vs OSU game when the refs actually called time out for Urban Meyer who went ballistic until the refs assured him that they saved him from some kind of penalty. Maybe hire a lip-reader to capture the words exchanged. That whole thing seemed so very, very dirty.

Chi, not just O'Neil, Tom Fiedler was the Replay Official at both the PSU-Nebraska and PSU-tO$U Replay screwjobs - go figure!?!? As the article hotlinked below points out, the O'Neil / Fielder "lie if you don't have anything else" told a very different story directly after the game versus the "conference's" revised version of the lie later in the week:

Referee John O'Neill And Replay Official Tom Fiedler Talk Controversial Calls

According to O'Neil / Fiedler directly after the game, the live broadcast feed was the shots that were "reviewed" (the liars even went out of their way to qualify that the feeds they were looking at are "the same feeds you see at home" and then throws in an obnoxious, "we can't create our own rules" when the diametric opposite is precisely what they were doing both in regards to the review of this play and their claim that clock errors are not reviewable!!! Amazing how the biggest chumbucket liars are also the most obnoxious a-holes (e.g., "we can't create our own rules" when this is PRECISELY what the douche-bag & crew did multiple times during critical moments of this game including the "leaping" PF call on Hull completely made up of whole clothe relative to what Hull did and how the rule reads....it was not a penalty and is something that is done on every place kick, either EP or FG, attempted).

 

[Option Bob]

Great post, ChiTown. Don't forget that it was O'Neill who called the "spiking the ball in anger" unsportsmanlike penalty on McGloin. Yet the big ten office continues to assign him to PSU games against the better programs in the conference.

i didn't know about O'Neill's board role or his tweet, something that should have drawn a suspension.

 

[NittPicker]

Give it a rest. I told you what I meant and it was pretty obvious. You need to drop out of argumentative mode every once in a while.

What he said. The expired clock wasn't noticed for 3-4 seconds. It wouldn't have been noticed for 5 or 6 seconds either. You know, just because someone replies to one of your threads doesn't necessarily mean they disagree with you.

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

Tonight is not the night. There are far better opportunities to debate this issue.

Actually, the Timeout/No Timeout didn't even matter. If the snap is imminent and the defense has too many men in formation(and they did), it's automatically a flag. The TO can't save the defense from penalty.

b. Team B is allowed to briefly retain more than 11 players on the field to anticipate the offensive formation, but it may not have more than 11 players in its formation if the snap is imminent. Whether the snap is imminent or has just occurred, the officials shall stop the action. (A.R. 3-5-3-IV)

How about when they charged a TO against Franklin when he didn't ask for one? Essentially forced us to settle for a FG because they took PSU's TO claiming that he challenged something, but then the Officials decided to do an Official Review corrected the mistake and then charged PSU a TO despite PSU never asking for a TO and the issue that Franklin was arguing was corrected in-line with what Franklin was saying. PSU could have taken several shots down the field if PSU still had it's TO!

You really should not correct people when you don't know what the f you're talking about -- anybody who understands the English language, spoken or written, would interpret what he said to mean that it WAS NOT noticed for 3 or 4 seconds.....the reality is Junior it was NEVER NOTICED BY INTENT (e.g., tough to see a clock if you refuse to open your eyes!) and it was only COINCIDENTAL that the kicker choose to kick it at that point in time. The evidence strongly suggests no flag would have been forthcoming whether the kicker took another half-second or waited another 15 seconds. In any event, you are quite incorrect - the posters statement strongly suggests that the officials finally noticed the play clock read 00 after 3-4 seconds but their recognizing the clock read 00 was COINCIDENTAL to the kicker calling for the ball to be snapped! A very DIFFERENT and INACCURATE description of what ACTUALLY took place.

You're funny and obviously have been getting an early start on the holiday weekend. It's only Thursday. Ease up on the booze. You are hardly an expert on the English language as evidenced by your horrendous grammar and terrible punctuation. And would it kill you to forego the randomly capitalized words? They don't make any sense. Anyway, enjoy your weekend. I hope you get sober by Tuesday.

Hope you get a clue by the end of the weekend Nittwit. Too funny, you don't even understand basic diction - have a nice weekend dumb@ss, hope you find some nice heavy traffic to go play in! Or maybe you could go play your favorite game - hide and go phuck yourself...

 

[Bushwood CC]

And still no answer from the b1g Turd huggers as to how the b1g Turd's "morphed" after-the-fact explanation (which conflicts with the Crew Chief Referee's and Replay Official's explanation DIRECTLY AFTER THE GAME btw) that prior to the PSU-tO$U game the Replay Booth was not provided a live broadcast feed of the game is even remotely possible or makes any sense whatsoever (Captain Lame-O, Bill Carollo, Director of b1g Turd propaganda, errr, I mean Officiating, claims that the very next week after PSU-tO$U the b1g Turd remedied this). How precisely do the Replay Officials follow the game and "Review Every Single Play" (calling in plays that appear to need greater scrutiny based on first glance) if they are not watching the live broadcast via a live broadcast feed??? So they only use their "other specialized replay equipment" as the NCAA Rules refer to it, but how on earth do they know when to apply greater scrutiny to the play in question with the "specialized replay equipment" if they aren't watching the game prior to the play happening??? The "Bounced Interception" was CALLED DOWN TO THE REFEREE BY THE REPLAY BOOTH as an "Official Review" and the Officials claimed they could see what we were seeing at home directly after the game (which is consistent with them seeing the play on the live feed and calling it in for further review!) -- if they weren't watching the live feed and their specialized replay equipment was down, what precisely was the "Official Review" of the play based upon??? The fact of the matter is that the b1g Turd is CLEARLY lying here and their own explanations is INCONSISTENT with the actions and explanations of the Replay Official during and directly after the game. They clearly had access to the live broadcast as they called the play in for "Official Review" which is consistent with what they would be watching whether their specialized equipment turned out not to be working or not -- there was SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE on the live broadcast replays to EASILY turn the play over as per NCAA Rules which the liars did not do and then started to tell more lies to cover their malfeasance.....causing the b1g Turd Office to tell additional subsequent lies and misrepresentations after the fact.

 

[Bushwood CC]

Still nothing but crickets from the b1g Turd huggers.....how precisely did the Replay Officials even know to call down an "Official Review" if they weren't watching a live feed to keep up with the game on a play-by-play basis? Obviously they were watching the play-by-play live feed which is why they called in an "Official Review" to the field Referee -- what difference does it make if their "specialized equipment" was working or not given that there was plenty of evidence on the live feed, "the same feed we see at home" to overturn the call? O'Neil clearly tries to claim that the live feed shots were reviewed by the Replay Officials but were not conclusive (a lie and O'Neil got caught with his hand in the cookie-jar telling a self-serving lie that simply wasn't true - this caused the b1g Turd front-office to tell an additional subsequent lie to cover for O'Neil's faux pas.....we didn't have access to a live feed in the Replay Booth....which is absurd on its face as how would the Replay Officials track the game play-by-play if this were true???).

 

[Bushwood CC]

Still crickets as to how the Replay Officials can follow the game if the b1g Turd never provided a live broadcast feed prior to the PSU-tO$U game in 2015. How did they call down for an "Official Review" if they had not feed of the game? Why did the Officiating Crew claim the live broadcast feed was reviewed, "the same feed as you get at home", but was supposedly inconclusive directly after the game?

 

[Bushwood CC]

Too funny - just found this interview with Dick (literally) Honig from Sept 2014 musing about his retirement and officiating topics. Here is a link and his description of Replay Officiating Crew:

Beyond Football: The life of a Big 10 football official

************************************************
Q. How many replay officials are in the booth?
A. Four. The top man, the one with final authority, is called the replay official. The "communicator" is the second set of eyes on what is being shown on the replay videos. The "assistant communicator" keeps all of the information from the previous play, like the down, yards to go, yard line, and time on the game clock. The fourth is the technician.

The other three give input after watching the replays, but the replay official makes the final decision. It’s not a majority rules decision. I always wanted the others to tell me what they thought of the play, not what I wanted to hear or to make me feel better about my decision.
The replay official has a direct line to the referee on the field. When he tells the referee his decision, he should paint a picture so the referee can inform those at the stadium and those watching on TV the reason for the decision Most often the referee has not seen the play as he is in the backfield with the quarterback. He also needs to know where the ball will be placed and the time on the game clock.
*************************************************

'Ole Dicky's description made a month before the tO$U game pretty much proves that the b1g Turd is lying as per usual. So let me get this straight, they have 4 freaking Officials on a Replay Crew, but no live feed of the game from the broadcaster? They have an "Assistant Communicator" whose only job is to follow the live broadcast and track down, distance, play clock, etc..., but no live feed to track it on??? They have a Technician in the box, but this technician couldn't figure out that the game wasn't playing even on the live broadcast feed at the start of the game??? So how did the Official call down to the field and tell Referee they were conducting an "Official Review" if they weren't able to see the live broadcast of the game??? What was the request of the Official Review based upon if not the live broadcast which immediately began showing replays that the ball clearly bounced??? They don't have a live feed of the broadcast, but they are reviewing each play on a play-by-play basis for anything that might need reviewed and have an "Assistant Communicator" dedicated solely to tracking the game on a play-by-play basis??? Lastly, the Replay Official is supposed to relay sufficient information to Referee as to describe their decision yet the Referee announced the conclusion as the "Call on the Field Stands" but never said a word about the Replay Booth not being able to conduct a correct review due to technical difficulties -- interesting because according to Honig, if the Replay Officials had told him that their equipment was not working and therefore they could not conduct a review, the Referee is supposed to relay this information with the decision, but no such thing ever happened.

Add it all up and it is quite clear that the b1g Turd Officials and the b1g Turd homeoffice is nothing but a pack of lying, corrupt scum.
