I don't think it's stupid. I know it's stupid.How do you think that is stupid?
How often is a rule changed due to a missed call? They correct the error jot the rule
A rules expert, Mike Pereia, says he was not offsides. If you asked him do you believe he was offsides he would say "no" every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Don't hide behind semantics. You are desperate and pathetic. If Mike was officiating then no flag thrown. He is the foremost rules expert. Bad call end of story.As you always do, you're conflating issues. You've attached the "Big Ten is rigging things for OSU and Mich" line to whether or not this particular call was the correct call.
Since you are so adamant that there isn't any rigging going on, you feel the need to poo-poo every claim that you think could somehow give that claim of rigging credence.
That's why you can't give in and admit that the video evidence clearly doesn't support a finding of offsides ... you see the video ... you see the stills ... you read and hear everyone that watched the video saying that wasn't offsides ... and, yet, there you are ... saying, "that's offsides."
Because you think admitting it wasn't offsides means you're conceding there's a pro-Michigan conspiracy. And you can't have that. You essentially turn yourself into Shaggy in the "Wasn't Me" song.
And then it gets worse, because we then have the conference stepping in and, in an unprecedented manner, letting everyone know that they admit the call was messed up.
So now you have to concoct yet another nonsensical position ... that if the league didn't utter the words "the call was wrong," they're not admitting the call was wrong.
You feel like you're trapped, and this is the only thing you can do ...
-------
But here's the thing ... you could, instead, just admit what the video and the subsequent words and actions of interested parties clearly tell you ... and that would be that the call was wrong.
And you can also still claim that OSU and UM are not the beneficiaries of some officiating plot.
It can happen. The two things aren't tied together. You CAN be reasonable. But you chose to be an unbearably obstinate troll, instead.
As I've said, this isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened. You have this bigger picture issue and you have a stance on it. Then subsequent information and/or actions come to light, and you simply can't look at them objectively, because now you feel like everything related to that bigger picture issue needs to be exactly one way, or you lose with regard to your bigger picture stance. For example, if you announced that dogs are the nicest creatures on the planet ... rather than deal with information about dogs being not so nice in certain situations like a normal human and just say "yeah, but they're still, overall, the nicest creatures," you'd feel compelled to fight with that person giving those anecdotes, and claim that the dog wasn't mean in that situation. There's just absolutely no rationality in your thought patterns.
You go full Shaggy ... and you just do it over and over again, hoping you'll wear everyone out, and if everyone stops correcting you, you think that means you won.
You haven't.
10 pages and still going lol
lol Lando will keep going if he has posts to respond to. This will be West Virginia all over againI'm thinking we can easily get this to 20.
Bull sheet. Hint, more than espn covers sports.You keep saying that but it's not on Amy national release
Entertainment! It will be hilarious to have this go all the way into the off season and longer. Just keep it at the top with everyone chiming in against Lando.10 pages and still going lol
You’re replying to the wrong guy.A rules expert, Mike Pereia, says he was not offsides. If you asked him do you believe he was offsides he would say "no" every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Don't hide behind semantics. You are desperate and pathetic. If Mike was officiating then no flag thrown. He is the foremost rules expert. Bad call end of story.
Has Amy ever released anything nationally?You keep saying that but it's not on Amy national release
What are you looking at? This photo shows the ball had moved forward by 1/2 yard and the guy who was called offsides had his feet a foot behind the 35 yard line and his hand even with the plane of the 35 yard line.And this photo proves the call was right. What are you looking at--their feet?
Provide the link of them admitting it--it doesn't existThey admitted it AND acted on it.
Correct--more than ESPN--none of the national ones have anything moreBull sheet. Hint, more than espn covers sports.
I'm fine with that--I don't know why anyone thinks this bothers melol Lando will keep going if he has posts to respond to. This will be West Virginia all over again
How is that humiliating? If you have it I'd gladly admit I was wrong and then continue to argue about the actual issueQuestion for posters other than mando. Even if mando does find the link that has a big conference official referencing the specific time in the specific game which caused the protocol change, he will not post it.
Should I provide the link? Will that humiliate him enough so he will stfu?
I think push back on his assholery should continue. With no pushback he will continue with his idiocy. He has demonstated that.
You are wrong. A national outlet has a direct quote from a big conference official about the protocol change after this game. You either found it and are too humiliated to post it or can't find it and won't admit your poor research skills.Correct--more than ESPN--none of the national ones have anything more
You lost this argument. Find the quote and use it for your argument. LMAO.How is that humiliating? If you have it I'd gladly admit I was wrong and then continue to argue about the actual issue
If they did say something I can't wait to see how it help my argument
Provide the link of them admitting it--it doesn't exist
I'm fine with that--I don't know why anyone thinks this bothers me
I enjoy arguing
Wrong...The Big Ten reviewed the call. Their comments on the call are linked as well as the actions they took so bad calls like that don't happen again.
And yes, you are humiliating yourself. Repeatedly.
Big Ten makes officiating change following controversial onside kick penalty in Gophers' loss to Michigan
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ot...-against-michigan-head-coach-says/ar-AA1rub21
During the FOX broadcast of Saturday's game, rules analyst Mike Pereira said he didn't think Kingsbury was offsides. The play was not reviewable and could not be challenged.
The Big Ten later admitted that there was an officiating mistake on the play, saying it was "too tight" to throw a flag in that situation.
The conference also confirmed in a statement that it had received immediate approval for an officiating alignment change on onside kicks. Now, the head line judge and line judge will need to be positioned on the 35-yard line of the kicking team — meaning there will be two views down the line.
Haven't even slightly lostYou enjoy losing an argument. That much is evident.
Speaking of Simple ... here's Simple Lando, while posting, yet again, that a rule change meant to address an incorrect call is proof the incorrect call was correct ...Wrong...
Fleck said the second quote not the Big Ten
A rule change doesn't admit an error
Simple
Haven't even slightly lost
You continue to create false statements because you know nothing exists with them stating an error was made. As we all know they never would.
You're not arguing ... you're just repeating the same stupidity over and over again when everyone has already proven you wrong and the argument has long been over. You're like the bloodied and bruised fighter who, after he wakes up, repeatedly yells at the completely untouched opponent that he won the fight.I'm fine with that--I don't know why anyone thinks this bothers me

Again, that's not a factSpeaking of Simple ... here's Simple Lando, while posting, yet again, that a rule change meant to address an incorrect call is proof the incorrect call was correct ...
You definitely lost. And you humiliate yourself pretending otherwise.
Think of it this way. If you accuse me of lifting $20 from you, and I give you $20 and say only, "I'm sorry", did I lift the $20?
YOUR requirement of having a specific written statement by the Big Ten saying it was a bad call is YOUR requirement, and yours only. It is unreasonable. If we were in court, and you are the lawyer arguing that it was the right call because the Big Ten specifically didn't make a specific public statement saying such, you would be laughed at by the jury because the Big Ten did confide it was a bad call to the impacted head coach, AND did make officiating changes so that it would never happen again.
Didn't lose even remotelyYou definitely lost. And you humiliate yourself pretending otherwise.

You issued an apology--no apology was issued
It's not unreasonable. Leagues admit wrong calls all the time.
Correct, if the Big Ten didn't make a statement saying the call was in error you can't say the Bi Ten admitted the call was wrong.
Laughing at you while you claim you won the fight from your hospital bed. On this thread, you had one of the most epic fails in the history of this board, and it's fabulous entertainment.What are you doing?
I've explained in multiple ways how there's no admittance of the call being wrong. You've yet to provide any new evidence so I would stand on the same correct argument the first time until you have something new
You're wrong. Experts have said the call is wrong by saying the flag should not have been called. You are lost in the trees. Is your stance now that if the B10 does not flat out say the call was wrong than it is right? Look at the video. Everyone has and agrees it was the wrong call. Common sense applies here. Case closed. Do you believe OJ is not guilty because the jury said so? Man you are a piece of work.What are you doing?

Wow, what source is that from? Smoking gun evidence for us.Question for the board. Which part of "admitted" do you think confuses Lando?

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, and I have no opinion on that penalty call, since I didn't see it. My point is that if someone is going to disagree with a penalty, then explain why it wasn't a penalty based on the rules. Saying that a penalty should not have been called "at that juncture" is bull fertilizer.But it wasn't a penalty as expert after expert has stated - FOX announcer, and a very respected former HC, Chris Petersen flat-out stated that the call was "made up" by the Official taking a final possession away from Washington and ending the game (Washington was down by 3 points with 1:37 left on clock and no timeouts - but Washington had scored the last 21 points in the game and had just recovered, and returned, the onside kick to the scUM 48 yard line with 1:37...... that is until the Official decided to end the game with his joke call - which was thrown very late, well after the ball was kicked, and didn't come out until it was clear that there was a strong possibility it would be Washington's ball).
