All of the Above? They should wear masks!
So if we get totally screwed by the refs late in a game and lose, we’re not good because we didn’t overcome that bad call? Even though there is no time left to overcome it?
This post should be pinned. It's that good.
You mean spotting Michigan first downs immediately after a run that came remotely close (one yard- or maybe 1-1/2 yards) of the sticks, before anyone can even look towards the sidelines and see where the markers where actually set ? That David Witvoet ? And we thought instant replay would eliminate these turds that the Big Two, I mean Big Ten employed and encouraged for years. What a farce and shame for an organization that portrays itself as such a prestigious, upstanding, higher academic football conference.
Whether I am able to overcome a bad call is immaterial. On what planet should I have to?
Exactly. And this conference will never get to where it wants to go without treating every conference member equally. It’s not that hard.
Please show me where I said you ”have to.” Moreover, you must have missed the part where I said “That’s not to meant to rationalize or excuse bad refereeing.”
Sorry if I misunderstood what you were trying to say, but I read it as "we should overcome bad calls because we are a good team"
I wish this was true but honestly its not. Sometimes a bad call IS the difference between two good teams. Sometimes a bad call is what keeps a good team playing its heart out from beating an elite team. Bad calls are often compared to bad hops in baseball, they happen. When they happen, you have to overcome them. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. But there are times the team that should have won did not due to a bad call.
