You could pretty much extend this to the refs in most of the games this year.

I’ve seriously never seen so many blown officiating calls in a season before. I understand the refs are put in situations where they have to make quick and subjective decisions… but still.

I don’t get why Urban Meyer is getting fined for speaking out. It’s their job to do this stuff and they continuously blow it.

because he’s supposed to represent the OSU student section apparently (given the description at the top of the site).

It’s fine that he posts here, but complaining about us for predicting we will win? Even some of the predictions said “it could go either way”. Psht. And he’s predicting an OSU win in blowout fashion. Dunno about that.

There are so many questionable things about the play

including going for it instead of the field goal.

by VVeRPennState on Nov 7, 2009 2:53 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

True

Ruling on being out of bounds:

ARTICLE 1. a. A player or an airborne player is out of bounds when any part of his person touches anything, other than another player or game official, on or outside a boundary line (A.R. 4-2-1-I and II).

From every angle I’ve seen, he’s still in bounds when he makes the pitch. The question is now which way the lateral went.

Why do teams always use timeouts to prevent a delay of game? I am sure Iowa wishes they had a couple extra timeouts in this situation instead of an extra 5 yards of field position.

Corey Wootton pretty much singlehandedly won that game.
I can almost guarantee that if Stanzi was still in that game they would have won.

Just curious...

Dennis Dixon:2007 Oregon Ducks::Ricky Stanzi:2009 Iowa Hawkeyes? It’s a shame – never like to see a team’s hope for a run at the MNC dashed due to a late-season injury. But so it goes, and the season goes on regardless.

I guess it'll depend

on the prognosis on Stanzi. If he’s back next week and they right the ship, then yes – Iowa is more like us last year. If Stanzi is out longer and Iowa slides to end the season, then it’ll be more like Oregon circa 2007.

I think it is quite ironic that Iowa fell exactly one year after they ruined our perfect season. It was bound to happen…

More Irony

The #4 team in the country was at home, up 10-0 quick in the first quarter. And didn’t score again, losing the game.

Royster may have rolled his ankle during pre-game warmups. Was catching a pass, then fell to the ground after stopping quickly to avoid colliding with teammates. Limped off the field, returned moments later.
