Fuck Big 12 refs

[Deej 76,870]

There needs to be a way to swap out Big 12 crews for crews from other conferences for our games. They can't be trusted. 

Kind of like the jury swap in The Untouchables.

One of them took a solid hit late in the game late Q3, I think.  At the time, it was the best play of the game.  Just disappointed we couldn't get the jack wagon in the white cap.

Patience is a virtue.

What goes around, comes around.

Yes!. If the league persists in this fuckery , demand a non B12 crew or you don’t get your exit money. See us at the courthouse!.

The refuckery will cost us a close game, like it has not infrequently in the past, that is intentional harm and tortuous interference with UT Football Inc. Stick it to the league where it hurts, in their purse.

[scottsins 1,968]

Administration error of the spot. No harm done and no time off the clock. I’ve seen games where at like the end of the 1st Qtr, ball spotted on the left hash, they switch fields, and the ball is now placed on the right hash “erroneously”, therefore officials TO and correct it prior to play resuming.

Just saying - it happens, just usually not on the big stage.

Hook’em!!!

Also, I’m trying to read the actual rules and I *think* the deal with not reviewing the spot was correct last night, but a really dumb fucking rule. From what I’ve read, they can only use replay review to determine if a ball carrier made a first down or TD, or to just correct a routine spot in other situations.

That is a stupid rule because 3 yards are 3 yards. For a first down, yards 1-3 are just as important as yards 8-10. It shouldn’t even need a challenge. It should be one of those quick fix things like we see in the NFL now.

The Bog 12 is playing with fire. If someone were to get advance notice that the Mar crew was going to work a Texas game (maybe a relative knows where they’re flying, or someone recognizes Mar at the airport), and then places a really big bet against Texas (knowing the spread is now “off” by seven to ten points) and collects…and talks about it. 
 
Something like that could destroy the career opportunities of Big XII refs. They may be having a lot of fun now, but they are playing with fire. 
 
As to the argument that Mar’s crew is just incompetent…in the last three Texas games they’ve worked, how many of their stupid screw ups helped Texas?

[Zeus 6,108]

[Rickylovesweed 14,534]

Beyond being incompetent, every game involving Kevin Mar is just a complete mess because there's no rhythm in the game. All the penalties combined with him taking 5 minutes to make a decision is so infuriating.

I was today years old when I learned that Big 12 referee Kevin Mar, lover of Texas football, is a resident of Omaha Nebraska.

That’s good. I fly into and out of Omaha fairly regularly via DFW. I’m guessing that’s also how Mr. Mar travels to Big 12 destinations. I won’t be shy about speaking to him if I see him. 

[Rickylovesweed 14,534]

I posted this in the Baylor thread but Baylor's OL is one of the most penalized in the country. They get called for a ton of pre-snap penalties and holds. 

This will be a great week to see if the Big 12 fuckery is truly on. One of the most undisciplined OL's getting no penalties will be a sight to see.

I'm simply not surprised a Nebraska resident might want to see Texas lose.

Yeah it's hard to NOT call pre-snap penalties, but if there's any refs in the country that can do it, I have faith in the B12 crews!

That official was already moving toward Quinn before he got off the ground or had the chance to “spike” the ball. He was definitely planning on giving him the business regardless.


Edit: the, three….whatever it takes

[thunderlounge 7,898]

Three business what?

[Jkwellborn 6,716]

Or maybe he was going to get the ball.

[AUS-97HORN 11,812]

I honestly think the ref running after Quinn was a result of him miming the "take off helmet" move.  which as we all know is a 15yard unsportsman.  

 

I hate the refs, but that ref didnt start moving fast to get into his face until Quinn looked like he might be taking his helmet off, then maybe spiking it (which is also against the rules).

[Billy Pilgrim 1,983]

The first thing all these players do is loosen their chin straps. I don’t think he was acting like he was taking off his helmet, just loosening it since the play was over.

[JBJ 3,664]

I rewatched the game for whatever reason:

1) The spot was really bad.  The linesman on that side got demolished, but it should have been a better spot regardless.  BTW, it's not a reviewable play, but also, technically, any obvious error with significant game impact can be reviewed.  Basically, it's a judgement call whether to review or not, but we aren't entitled to challenge it.  Taking 5 minutes to decide something is not worth the time to review is so on brand.

2) I'm okay with the non-PI call on Sanders up the seam.  The defender doesn't have to move out of position to provide a clean path to the ball.  It doesn't look like there's any grabbing or excess pushing.  The only thing that bugs me is that we definitely have been and would be called for this.

3) Speaking of which, the DPI call on Brooks(?) bad.  For all the reasons stated above, but there's also barely any contact.  I think this got called because the WR knew he was beat and gave up on the play.  I don't think it was uncatchable, fwiw.  It probably was actually uncatchable, but it was close enough that you don't rule it that way.

4) The Ewers TD thing was definitely the spike,  He didn't really spike it, but he dropped it aggressively enough that it took a big bounce.  It's not uncommon to have refs warn you for things like that.

[Doc Daneeka 6,769]

#1 Yeah, if they want to put it anywhere between the 10 1/2 and the 12, it would be vaguely reasonable. The 8? Nah.

#2 and #3: Just be consistent for both teams. 

#4 There’s plenty of time for the official to warn him without shutting down his celebration way from any defenders.

That was my take. Sanders didn't have the defender beat well enough to cross his path and get that ball without contact. Whether Sanders didn't quite run his route right or Ewers was off, either way, they weren't in synch.

Of course, DBs get called for PI all the time if they are trailing directly behind and the ball is underthrown unless they get their head turned around to theoretically play the ball. But this was a little different than that. In my opinion, that shouldn't be PI either, but such is how they rule it (unless Texas is the receiver in Rig 12).

[wood 11,231]

Who are these assholes  and what have they done with the real Rig 12 refs?

It's only a half though. Give it time, I guess.

[PvilleStang 2,917]

They clearly bet the over and have Texas covering

[Cap33 384]

It's obvious that this is no contest. So they'll flag Baylor enough to be able to point at this game and say, "See, here's a game where your opponent had more penalties than you, so stop whining."

[Nivek 16,949]

There has been a whole lot of holding by that baylor offensive line. Enough to save them from a sack but not a pressure or bad pass.

[TrashMaster G 17,583]

The fuckery was still there.

Baylor's first scoring drive on the long pass completion their WR gave our guy a clear shove to get separation. 

Same drive the defensive PI was on an uncatchable ball.

Next quarter a long pass play to inside the 10 clearly wasn't a catch and they didn't even review.

If you're talking about when the ball came out and rolled into the end zone, I think it was a catch and a fumble.  I don't believe he was down when the ball came out.

I think it was clearly a catch, and unclear whether a fumble or down, and should have been looked at.

Ultimately doesn’t matter because Ford picked them off and we went on a 95 yard TD drive, but yes.

Sorry for the delayed response, but was there a significant WY contingent to taunt in the NW end zone?

Rig 12 really tried to manufacture yards for Baylor.  Gave them a free pass for holding but only called them on a play where it was going to be declined.  Ignored intentional grounding and some obvious hands to the face.  

This conference sucks, and it's too bad it will 'survive' when we leave.

That was such a physical mismatch it wasn't going to make a shit so they didn't bother trying to fuck us in that one.

Sark needed to be faster on the timeout. Ford should have also been asking for one. 
 

I kind of expect one screw job per Big 12 game. At least this one was almost completely inconsequential. 
 

I also hated the spot on Robertson’s first down run inside the red zone. He’s short 2 maybe 3 yards. So I’m thinking at worst they’ll mark it a yard short. Nope just gave him the first down with a second look. 

[Bevoette 1,288]

I'm beginning to think that all the big 12 refs are buttholes! Correction fucking buttholes.

 

I mean once again not calling obvious past interferences on Baylor Defenders smothering our receivers
