Refs Strike Again at Michigan

Yes we all know this except you know who.

I actually don't think Lando's position has to do so much with him being a Michigan apologist/schill/troll although you never know and you do have to wonder given his stance. He/she clearly has this bizarre attachment and infatuation with officiating in that he thinks it is always flawless and always correct. And it never impacts a game at all and every call is correct, no matter the circumstances. I mean I think an official could call a penalty on one team on every play in a game and none on the other team all being blatantly wrong calls and he would side with the officials.

In this particular case and play he wants to spin it into a situation where everyone except him is an emotionally out of control Michigan hater who want to blame officials in a non-sensical way. We are all conspiracy theorists. He is the voice of reason and logic to tell us all that the officials did nothing wrong. Remember he is the smartest guy in the room/on the board.

Here's the problem he has. The actual call on the onsides kick is wrong. The officials may have done a good job the rest of the game although not calling on the field a TD for that last Minny TD and having to go to the booth was weak. However, this onsides kick call was an incorrect call and so much so that...

1) The Fox head rules analyst and a foremost authority on football rules states his opinion on the play and "thinks" as in my opinion is I "think" the player is not offsides. Lando has a problem here because a leading expert from a group/organization that he clearly worships (officials) is saying a call is incorrect. Oh what to do but try to say he doesn't know. Huh?

2) P.J. Fleck spoke with the B10 office and then states publicly that the B10 office said the call was "too tight to flag". Another fact that the call was incorrect. Oh what to do again but say Fleck is misrepresenting or not remembering what the B10 told him about the call and the B10 believes the call is correct. What?? Oh, they never have said the call was correct but according to Lando logic they don't have to despite all this controversy swirling they feel no need to reinforce that the call was "correct". Okay.

3) The B10 implements a rule change following the fall out from this call to help the officials in the future. Why? Because the call was wrong and they don't want this to happen again. According to Lando they just decided to do this on a whim and the call was 100% right. Yet they never state the call is correct despite numerous opportunities to do so.

His rebuttals are clearly desperate and pathetic with no merit but he is too arrogant or stupid to admit he is wrong.

Despite all this evidence he just childishly clings to his uninformed and wrong opinion and as a result we have an almost 20 page thread of his jibberish nonsense.
1. Pereira didn't say it was wrong
2. Fleck's quote means nothing
3. A rule change isn't for a missed call--it's to correct a bad rule

Name one rule change that ever happened because a ref missed a call--just one
 
He quoted what the commissioner said. The commissioner hasn't refuted what was reported. It's true. The commissioner agreed it was a bad call and put precautions in place to prevent such a horrible call again.
You believe the quote someone. That doesn't make it an exact quote
There's no reason to correct it--their statement corrected it.

Doesn't have to be a quote. It's the meaning that matters. The meaning was not corrected. The meaning stands. The Big Ten recognizes it as a bad call. Rightfully so.

It does have to be a quote. The meaning doesn't need to be corrected--again, they released a statement which is the only thing that is relevant.

No it doesn't have to be a quote. Only you believe that which makes you foolish. The Big Ten's words and actions spell it out for you. You are just too thick to admit it. It was a bad call.

Keep spinning.

Fleck can't speak for the Big Ten
They didn't say "so it never happens again"
Yet again you're proving my point

Lando steps up on the porch and starts ringing his crush's doorbell. She says "I'm not interested." He keeps ringing the doorbell, nonstop, for hours ... and then days. Eventually she screams "I'm calling the police."

When the police come and question him, he states "she never said 'go away' ... words have meaning and if she didn't want me here, she would have said 'go away'."

Lando now posts from jail, convinced of his innocence.
 
Look at when i respond and when they respond--then I come back a couple hours later and they immediately respond
I'm never the problem

Two days ago, you posted nonstop the entire day. Never took a break. There wasn't more than 20 minutes between your posts the entirety of the day. You often post like that. Others pop in occasionally and make a post or two. Maybe they're here for an hour or so stretch making posts and responding to others. You're often on here, literally, nonstop, from the time you wake up, until you fall asleep ... posting a response as soon as someone posts something, meaning you're sitting here, waiting ... and then pouncing.

Bad rules result in bad calls. Correct the rule to get better calls.
This protocol was changed because of this bad call.
Geez.

It does need to be a quote. The actions say nothing about it being a bad call--you just want it to mean that.

You may want to go back and look because you're wrong--as usual

No it doesn't need to be a quote to appease you. You are nothing. The Big Ten has acknowledged it was a bad call and acted accordingly. It's a fact. They did both of those things. They acknowledged it, and they acted on it. Those are the facts.
 
It's not a "non answer"
False--the Big ha never said the call was wrong. When the Big Ten says they were wrong publicly let me know--we both know that will never happen
Again, this thread was started to cry about how everyone's against us. It's pathetic.
This thread was started to highlight an egregious officiating mistake. You have no idea what the B10 said. Are you in their offices, on their emails, in every text thread? It's so pathetic you keep this thread going. You are wrong and have no clue. That is pathetic.
 
In the Georgia-Auburn game, their "expert official" said "I think it was a touchdown and I say think because I'm not sure"
Exactly--thank you. Same thing with Pereira. When they know they are definitive with their statements.

That has to do with the Georgia vs. Auburn game. Has absolutely nothing to do with what happened a week ago.

Totally meaningless, albeit, it is funny watching you become more and more desperate to try to prove your perspective is correct to over a dozen people who not you are barking up a tree.

Not at all. Just pointing out how it's obvious when someone says think in that scenario it means they're not sure

Absolutely nothing to do with last week. A total non sequitur. A total reach because your argument has been destroyed for 8 days and counting, and by several people.

Has everything to do with it. It's exactly what think means. No one has even put a small dent in my argument let alone destroyed it

Nothing at all. You are cherry picking from an entirely different situation and attempting to apply it to what happened last week. Pure desperation.

Hate to break it to you, but you don't have an argument. You have a vague assertion that the offside call was right even though the preponderance of evidence suggests otherwise. You have not presented any argument other than the call was made. Yes the call was made. And it is the wrong call.

This is where you are spinning round and round we go.

Sooooo, your position has clearly been it is "the correct call". A no doubter. But wait....if and this is a ridiculous if, to get to the point here, Pereira was saying "I think" because he was unsure then that certainly proves the call was not definitely correct. If it was definitely correct he would not use the "I think" language that you are desperately trying to use to your advantage. He also would not use that language to state the exact opposite position you so dearly hold on to.

So what do we have here? One of the foremost rules experts who studied the play and concluded the player was not offsides.
In your world if he actually is saying "I am not sure" (which he is not) then he is NOT saying the call is definitely correct. Pereira knows more than Lando.

It's unfortunate when those kinds of things get twisted in your little argument and you get lost.

Not cherrypicking. Using reality to help you.
I've won the argument as soon as you Ll resorted to childish attack. You have nothing other than opinions while ignoring the facts. I'm not the desperate one.

Yes it was the correct call
Yes Periera said I think because he's not sure. Thank you. You're all claiming he said it was wrong which he didn't.
I never said Periera agreed with me.

You are so desperate and pathetic it is laughable. Like a little boy trying to punch his older brother but can't reach his body.

I'm not the desperate one. You all bring the discussion into other threads because you incorrectly believe I'm wrong for once. That's desperate
 
That made no sense.
Who brings this topic up in other threads?
The reason is you all INCORRECTLY believe I'm wrong and are DESPERATE to finally prove me wrong. The Big Ten statement not saying there was an error was the end of this. I won.

He knows he's wrong ... all he wants is attention. Don't give it to him. He'll say whatever he can to try to draw attention to himself, even if that attention is only negative.

The reality is that your comment is a non sequitur. Nothing to do with anything. There is no childish attack, just facts. We know you hate facts, and you are the desperate one.

The Big Ten PROVED there was an error by changing the rule so it never happens again. You've lost.

Oh there's been plenty of childish attacks but that's all you're capable of doing
Desperate for right--the Big Ten's statement won this battle for me and you know it that's why you're "interpreting" everything. Poorly interpreting things.

False--a rule change is fixing a rule not a call--for the 100th time.
If a rule change ever happens because of a bad call, which it never has, that would be an overreaction. Just get the call right

The preponderance of evidence supports my argument. Your opinion does not support yours.

True. If the Big Ten really believed it was the right call, they would have said such and not changed the rule.
