Worst officiated game against us since OSU 2014

The one official lineman was a line woman. I have an idea. At the next winter Olympics, let's get some retired football players to judge the women's figure skating. Makes about as much sense.

She's probably blocked enough unwanted advances from neanderthal misogynists like you to know what she's doing.

Not one at all. My brother was a highly respected PIAA official. A guy on his playoff crew did college games. He was doing a game with a woman official that was a back judge. Team A is punting from midfield and the ball hits and goes out at the 2 yd line. Miss back judge was running toward the endzone and had her back turned to the ball. She turns around and calls a touch back. Team B got the ball at the 20 and Team A's coach about stroked out. When the officials were graded for their performance at the end of the game, nothing was said about that call.

Another official my brother worked with is now a Head referee in the NFL. My brother asked him, what was the most difficult part of his job? Answer: women officials.

That was a convincing argument that you aren’t a Neanderthal misogynist. Holy hell.
 
Just the ' tip of the iceberg '. Only makes sense that you should've played the game you're officiating.
It literally makes no difference.

You started this by making a faulty comparison of a JUDGE (on merit) v. an OFFICIAL (not judging merit, simple enforcing rules). An NFL official isn't judging the "quality" or "artistic nature" of a catch ... it was a catch, or it wasn't. According to the rulebook. Which you've studied. And passed the certification for knowledge and application of said knowledge. And you assume that these women didn't play the game, when they very likely may have.

There's literally nothing but misogyny in your assertion.

Hey, so which college football game was this? Certainly there's video of it and we don't have to trust the word of someone who appears to hate female officials simply because they're female and is using a friend of a friend of a brother of an uncle's roommate who also hates women as officials, but isn't misogynistic.
 
Kneupple is from Wisconsin. Same crew as the osu game so the complete lack of consistency or holds or PI should seem familiar.

His whole background is on his LinkedIn.
He did some ACC games involving UNC and NC State.

Lots of athletes in his extended family; his nephew Kon Kneupple is a freshman basketball player at Duke.
 
Hey Frank,
When you’re stuck down in a ditch, quit digging.
Do you favor race, religion, height, weight, age requirements, too???
 
Why didn’t they go to replay on that play? Officials let them play. You think the Lions weren’t holding? Come on man… officials had no impact on the outcome. PSU crapped the bed in the first 20 minutes. Typical PSU game vs. big time opponent. Too many mistakes.
There’s an old saying about better to remain silent and thought a fool than proving it with dopey commentary like this. Take heed.
 
They showed a replay that showed nothing resembling a penalty the best I remember. Danielson kept saying "it's to the left" (where #10 was), but #14 was called for it (he was on the right).

I'd like to see the play again because I saw nothing. I can't say for sure that nothing happened, but I never saw a replay that confirmed it.
I saw it. It was pretty weak at best.

Couldn't he have called TO to get the review?
Every play is supposed to be reviewed automatically. Why should Franklin risk wasting a timeout in a game where time is at a premium over something blatantly obvious? If they couldn’t get that one right they shouldn’t be working the game.

Correct me if I'm wrong..
I remember an Oregon fumble or ball coming out. Play was whistled dead and absolutely no review. Receiver was being tackled when it came out, and then Oregon hurried up and hiked the ball. Refs stood there as if to say please hurry.

Still haven't seen a good replay of this if anyone has it. Was shocked CBS didn't show another angle.

PSU was clearly the better team. We just got hosed by the refs as usual.

Oregon got away with a ridiculous amount of holding, on defense as well. I agree refs were biased in favor of Oregon.
 
But an Oregon player shoved a PSU player long after the whistle and no call…and the Oregon QB head butted one of our safeties after the whistle….no call. The point being there are many situations that could be legitimately called, but when you’re only calling those against one team it can easily cost that team the game.
To fix a game you would have to get to multiple football players but you would only have to get to one Ref but it seems they got to all of them including the guy in control of the reviews.

No you just need 1 ref to call penalties that are not reviewable like personal fouls.
 
When in the game was the non called defensive holding/PI on what should have been a big gain by singleton?

Iaone punched the guy… not sure what Mills did but announcers said it was legit. Both boneheaded.
It was a push, not a punch. It was a penalty but could have been let go. I'm fine with calling that, but then you have to call the late takedown of Allar.
The other one (on the kickoff) was similar. The Oregon player was blocking aggressively on a kick that was clearly a touchback and Mills have him an extra shove. That one was weaker, but again if you call that you have to call the one against UO.

This right here. You flag us twice, but don't flag them for one that was more pronounced?

He didn't punch the guy ... he pushed him with one arm. During the play where the Oregon guy committed a similar, but worse infraction, that Oregon player did the same thing, but with both arms ... and much more aggressively/violently.

Yeah, the announcer said that other call was legit ... as he was looking to the WRONG side of the field from where the actual penalty allegedly occurred. The other announcer had to correct him that he was looking entirely at the wrong side, and then they quickly cut away to the next play. It was so clear, they couldn't find it. You're the kind of guy who walks away from an encounter saying that you rocked her world, and she's left wondering why you were humping her ear hole.

This was the play along the sideline in the second half?
The receiver was down before the ball came out.
The refs botched a lot of calls, but that wasn't one of them.

5:00 minutes to play in the first half. Drew threw to a spot and Nick was half a beat late getting there...because he was being held. He would have been running full speed in the seam. Maybe not a TD but certainly a big gain.
 
I re-watched the game last night and think I've identified the three biggest plays (in terms of momentum swings and timing).

1) 1st INT; a defacto pick six. Huge play in a one score game. There may have been contact with Dinkins but not blaming this one on the refs.

2) Non call on Drew being thrown down (1st drive of 2nd half; on third down; led to missed FG and big swing in momentum. If there correct penalty is called it's first and 10 from the UO 11 yard line. PSU almost certainly gets a FG or a TD and keeps momentum. As it was coming away with zero points and lost a lot of momentum for PSU.

3) Botched fair catch all (his arm was not above his shoulder). This lost PSU 17 yards. Would have started the drive on the UO 46 yard line with over 2 minutes left. Could have easily run the ball downfield (i.e. not need to take the shot that led to the game sealing INT).

1. Jersey was clearly pulled
 
I don't disagree. but wasn't the ball also thrown behind him? Anyway, massive play either way.

My problem with it in the grand scheme of things is things like the holding penalty in last year's OSU game overturns a scoop and score and there wasn't even a pass thrown on that play. More or less the same amount of contact as this play. Part of the reason it was thrown behind him was because the dbs contact basically shoved him off the route.

At this point it'd be nice for some controversial/debatable/50-50 calls to break our way during critical plays in top ranked matchups. It's not corruption, but the coin flips definitely haven't ended up close to even. Us and Indiana are the last 2 big ten teams standing in the Semis this year.

The db grabbed him actually
