The Iowa State QB saw his life flash before his eyes on a complete blocking miss and shrugged his way into helmet on helmet. The rule sucks.

Illegal toss was illegal and should have been called, but it almost never is. But yeah. It was a penalty. Annoying because it looked like he'd naturally broken the tackle and would have been able to fall into the end zone anyway if the dude would get out of his way. I'm not sure I've ever actually seen the penalty called though. Asking for an OPI is bullshit. The coverage didn't turn his head. Did he let the guy run into him while he measured it and create coverage? Sure. He'd have overrun it if he didn't though. Every receiver does that and they'll always get the DPI call too. This is a nonstarter IMO. I don't really have an opinion on the Bond hit. Could have been called. A lot of stuff could have been called. Both OL's were holding all game long, but the Big Ten refs don't call that.

ASU fan again. The targeting non-call is getting overblown. Was it targeting? Yes. By the rules, it was. Was it a malicious hit? No. Your dude was trying to make a play. The refs were scared to make the call because targeting is a horrible fucking penalty in that there's no difference between incidental and maliciousness. As such, refs tend to be reluctant to call it in critical moments because it's such a nebulous thing and it means dude is out for half of the next game too. I think everyone knows it's an overly punitive penalty. It needs to be changed. If it's just 15 yards, that's called 100 times out of 100. I'd have loved it if Shamari Simmons was able to play the whole game. First thing he did when he got back in was light your guy up and force a safety. Maybe we're not down so bad to start the game if we have our best defensive player. I get the no call. Refs don't want to decide this game or the next game in the playoffs. Moreover, people act like it's a forgone conclusion that ASU would have won in regulation- Dillingham was only sort of joking when he asked for student tryouts for kicker during the season. There's no reason to be confident ASU was gonna win in regulation. In a perfect world, it's a 15 yard penalty with no implications for the next game. ASU had you guys just about beat in OT anyway. Then they showed pressure twice in a row on 4th down. 1st time your boy jumped. Showed it again and Ewers made the right check and Dillingham openly said it was his mistake for not having the ability to check out of his all in blitz against max protect. ASU didn't disguise it well and got caught. Sucks. Thought we played well enough to win, but we've got a lot of dudes coming back. There will always be shitty, weird fans, but most folk are more proud than anything else. We know we can hang with the big boys and there's a whole bunch of people coming back. Rest is just usual post loss bitterness.

Got you. Congrats again. Good luck against the Death Star you have next week.

Absolutely. But what is the reason? Did someone at Texas piss off the NCAA or the refs? I had a feeling nothing was going to change when we moved to the SEC. It wasn't just the Big 12 refs, it's now the SEC refs and then the other day was Big10. That's beyond just a coincidence. Big 10 refs don't call holding unless you're actively tackling someone from behind or committing murder. I know a fair number of USC fans. They've been screaming about it all year. It goes both ways. You can like it or dislike it, but it's just the way things are called in that conference. If you want the iffy shit, I've seen the block that broke your punt return TD called before too. Looked like a good hard hit to me, but he was sorta coming from behind. It is what it is. Y'all won a physical game where you were outgained by 150 yards. Bitching about refs with the Dub is kinda lame.

Vikings Lions might be the biggest regular season game in... I don't know how long. Two 14-win teams for homefield in one of the strongest divisions ever. The Vikings, Lions and Packers are something like 34-4 when not playing the Vikings, Lions and Packers.

The dude with almost 100 receiving yards can't play on 3rd downs?
-
Not one that's engaged. Enormous alumni base, but no oil sugar daddy.
-
He's from AZ, went to ASU, got his first college coaching job at ASU and just signed a new contract. He isn't leaving unless it's a Godfather situation. Maybe even not then.
-
I'll probably stick around, post here and there. I used to post a lot more when it was ShaggyBevo back in the day. I like your game threads and no one clutches pearls too hard.
-
No, but it's not called often. Basically an ignore it call more often than not.
-
ASU's receivers weren't getting open. It is what it is. They were very reliant on Jordyn Tyson and Jordyn Tyson is injured. They have a 1st or 2nd round WR and couple guys who are alright, but not dudes who are going to get open consistently like a secondary like Texas has.
