There is something wrong with O'Neil for sure, but I think he is just inept.
We did catch a break on the targeting, although that came from the booth
That was a great win. PSU should have won by more no doubt. Congrats.
Odd, but according to the NCAA Rulebook, a call on the field can only be overturned with "irrefutable video evidence". But somehow they're saying the overturned a call without definitive video evidence and purely on a subjective "judgement". How typical of this POS bushleague conference.
Friggin’ mouth breathing shizholians,the B1G officials, I tell ya!Odd, but according to the NCAA Rulebook, a call on the field can only be overturned with "irrefutable video evidence".

Obvious optical illusion of a Penn State TD.
Yup - everyone ignored it. Completely criminal - easy to screw us because we didn’t have a challenge leftSo many crazy calls - how about the ridiculous 1st Down they gave Iowa on their last drive on 3rd-&-1 QB Sneak where Stanley gumbled ball backwards!!! An Iowa OL recovered ball on ground which had squirted out and rolled backwards between Stanley's legs who had dove forward into pile (i.e., ball was instantaneously down as OL was on ground). The ball where it was recovered was 2 yards short of 1st Down Mark and should have been 4th-&-2, but the cheaters gave Iowa a complete phantom mark and 1st Down and didn't review the play despite it being beyond obviously a bad spot - insanely bad spot.

How about the ghost PI call on Reid that bailed Iowa out deep in their own territory.... or the ghost defensive holding that bailed them out inside their own 10 on Iowa's drive of 1st Half?....
Franklin post game: "one of the interesting things,..... we are one of the least penalized team, come in here and..... 80 yards of penalties and they have 5.......
I'm sure he didn't want reprimanded by the B10 Bozo's but he he would have liked to spell it out just like we have here.............
"I'd love to have a lengthy conversation about this" (the over-rule of the Freiermuth TD).... "and our fans would like that"......
We need to infiltrate his account....it probably won’t matter but it will make us us fell better.
If he allows the kind of thievery to continue as we saw tonite without standing up, poor ole CJF is going to be hanging his head very soon. It’s a sin to see this happen and nary a word said.
If there is a silver lining besides getting the win anyway, as evidenced by the quoted tweet it is the national exposure of this nonsense via a featured night game.
It's a joke. My wife, who missed the play, said after 25 years of watching this why does it make you so angry.
"Because you root for kids who fight their tails off get railroaded by a corrupt system. Whether it is their disdain that we came in and made it a 3 team league or the Sandusky crap, you give those boys on that field a level chance at winning."
If my other kids weren't in the room the R version would have come out of my mouth.
Call the game right. We can live with not being the better team on a given day. But Friermuths overturn, Reid's PI call deep in their territory, the non review of the 3rd down late fumble and the next play, clear as day shoulder push off for a TD, 4 blatant calls that should/could have cost us the game.
Franklin will bite his tongue, but if he's here another 10 years he will eventually have his Joe moment(running into the tunnel after those officials ironically against Iowa in 2002).
Exactly right. It is such an injustice to what should be fair play and a reasonably level playing field. They don’t even pretend that this will be the case. Seriously makes you consider if you want to invest the time and $ going forward.It's a joke. My wife, who missed the play, said after 25 years of watching this why does it make you so angry.

What a joke. That targeting call had zero bearing on the result of the game. There was a game full of calls that did and prevented a comfortable PSU win. Next time, against a better team, PSU will not be so fortunate.If you travel around the rest of the conference, most of the lower level teams think that the traditional powers UM, PSU, osu, and even to a degree Wisconsin get all of the calls as an attempt to keep as many marque teams ranked high and showcase their big games nationally. There's always griping on every board after bad calls. That said, that was a bad call that reversed the TD. It was close but shouldn't have been overturned and most of the other B1G boards agree with PSU getting robbed. PSU should have been able to punch it in though. On the other side, I thought PSU got a break on an obvious targeting call that wasn't called. Win some, lose some.

Yeah I think P State should leave and go to a conference that treats them more fairly. Always thought P State should have went to the ACC. Good luck the rest of the season.
