I’d like to hear forum Pure objective thoughts on the officiating, either way. Reading on Mlive, posters are furious thinking they were “homed”. Frankly I’m too blue and white eyed to think it was anywhere other than spot. The only thought they are showing more hate is Bell who dropped the pass in the end zone.
I watched the game over with some slow motion. When I look at all the plays real time I can't pick out one call that was obviously bad at full speed. Yes our guy pushed off for the TD, happens all the time and I don't think it was needed. There guy later elbowed off our DB and wanted an interference when he got tangled up. On the one interference they got the UM Receiver is pushing off and our guy grabs his arm. He almost made that great catch but they flagged us. Yes we interfered on that one short pass we broke up in the middle of the field but at real speed it looked good. Yes, they held our ends especially Tony, a lot. On the one long run they had, the receiver tackles the PSU DB and then grabs him a second time when he is getting up and the back is going by. Did the taunting need called? The hold they showed on the kickoff return wasn't bad, maybe the other one that was accepted was? The TD they got after a 20 second review and pulling all but one PSU guys off the pile and leaving 3 Michigan guys? He was stopped, they blew the whistle, they could have said NO. They got a lot of interference calls but if you watch our receivers the Michigan DB's were on them constantly. Our punter was knocked down again, no call. Last third down play for UM our LB has position and is clearly grabbed and spun by the receiver ... no call. No replay by the TV crew.
Could it be that Michigan is used to getting most of the calls in the Big10...until OSU? They are regularly the 'homers'
It also seemed they replayed the ones that went our way whereas they did not replay the ones that went UM's way.
The calls seemed to go with the momentum. We got calls early and they got some late. None as bad as the overturn of the TD against Iowa. When you are winning it is easier to tolerate calls that don't go your way and well they were never winning. Besides it's either the Zebras, Bell, the defensive coach for not covering Hamler or Harbaugh right? Poor Bell got drilled from 5 yards away and it seemed to handcuff him. But we were lucky he didn't catch it. They had at least 5 other drops in the game. But you know when you make the last out in baseball it is you that lost the game, no prior plays matter.
My biased opinion.
Neither of us played well enough to neutralize the officiating like the prior two years. One or 2 plays made a big difference in that game.
Hairball would have an argument if they were not tagging PSU with flags. Plus he will argue from the first snap to the last, everyone is out to screw you Hairball over. He's pathetic.

This is so true
Hairball and his like minded minions on mlive.
For a rule to be valid, it has to be administered. When an official sees a violation of the rule but does not call a penalty, the official gives an unfair advantage to the Team committing the foul. The only way to be unbiased is to call the infraction each and every time or get rid of the rule. The concept of “letting them play” will always result in one team receiving an unfair advantage over the other team.
On a similar topic, an offensive infraction after the snap should result in either the loss of down and penalty yardage or just penalty yardage at the discretion of the defense. If an offense runs a play, gains 0 yards and gets called for holding, the result should be “2nd and 20” and not 1st and 20 or 2nd and 10. They violated the rules, they should pay.
Let's discuss the eye gouging on Patterson.

After we discuss the hand to the head of Clifford, no call.
Still bitter over PSU winning that game...LOL

huh... I saw a replay of Clifford getting poked in the eye during the Iowa game, no call. Can you show us film of Patterson getting gouged and by whom?

There is a video of Shea and some of his teammates giggling like school girls... One didn't see anything was told by a third party. apparently there is a fan that was at home that is going whistle blower over it.
Just what we need, another whistle blower!

Hmmm, wonder if the fan wasn't our little niccy.... it all fits now.
