I don't think it's an actual conspiracy or that other teams are buying refs or whatever.  I do think there may be some anti-Texas bias that finds its way into officiating.  It's hard to argue with that chart.  What?  We're just that poorly coached, undisciplined and actually committed all of those penalties and the other teams we played are not?  Just not feasible.  The other thing that should be considered, though, is not just officials' incompetence, but also the skill of the other team in hiding their fouls.  We can see it on TV and replay with different angles and speeds.  The refs are seeing it once, from one angle and at real time speed.  Players are being coached to cheat in a way that is difficult or impossible for officials to see that they are cheating.

When jerseys are being pulled away from the player, that’s not hiding anything. It’s just daring the refs to call it.

Consistency is what everyone wants.  They know the rules, they see what happens and they don't give a shit.  No one gives a shit except fans who watch it.  Shit, even the OU fans know that was fixed.

Sark is a pussy for sending it just to the conference.    He has had enough film to hold a press conference on the no-call targeting this year and last year, and the multiple games of double standards going back over a decade.   He should get some GA to find the clips and put together a movie reel about the fuckery and name the officials involved and their pattern of bias.  But he won't.   

Because the Big 12 will fine his ass and/or suspend him for it, that's why.

Agree that everyone wants consistency.

Sorry, ou gets called for holding in the playoffs every time. Never in this conference.

Then they only hold 2-3x?  That’s the avg holding calls in OU in playoffs. There’s holding on every play.  Talk to an O line coach.  It’s how you hold, not that you hold.

Rockets in the '90s were always getting fucked over by the refs and the Jazz, because the Jazz were an easier cakewalk for MJ in the finals. I fucking hate the Utah Jazz to this day even though I've not sat down and made a point of watching an NBA game this century. 

You have entire Hall of Fame careers based in large part on illegal play.

Toss it to Shaq, Shaq bowls defender over, lobs in baby hook, AND ONE, which he bricks. If the refs called it by the rulebook he'd have half the stats he wound up with. Karl Malone was somewhat similar but a little more skilled and that little rat Stockton would have been out of the league in 3-5 years if he had ended up on some anonymous squad like the Hawks or Clippers. 

Well the NBA refs hated Hakeem for some reason.  If they called fouls against Hakeem the way they did against the Celtics and Lakers stars, he would have had all world stats.  There were a couple of refs who would always call technical fouls on Houston.

NBA is absolutely the worst because every play has a foul.  And NBA refs have the biggest egos of any refs.

84 was a situation of things "evening out" and I'm sure there was stuff that happened when Big 8 was officiating vs. when SWC was officiating.

To be somewhat fair to the refs, the powers that be have made officiating WAY to fucking complicated and have forced these guys to look for safety issues vs. just officiating the game.

IMO they should have the "safety" stuff looked at by the booth and have the officials look for egregious late hits and OL holding, DPI, OL downfield, illegal crackbacks, etc.

you watch old games and the games just flow.  replay should only be for stuff like turnovers, scoring plays, and in/out on catches.

OU gets called early for holding in the playoffs or the bowl game then they for the most part stop doing it because they learn they can’t do it. OU holds all game in the big 12 until the game is in hand or some incredibly obvious one happens then it gets called and they still hold afterwards because they know they will get away with it.

Not saying objective.  I'm saying freezing pics will show holding on well over 50% of plays.  Any good O line coach teaches how to hold.  If you do it well and properly you go to the NFL and make a lot of money.  I think the top 2 largest contracts ever for O lineman in the NFL were OU players at some point recently.  It's all about when you release the hold etc.  I admit you guys have gotten screwed. 

I won't argue about this being exactly how holding works...it's a fact if you've been close to the game at any high level.  And I'll stand by OU losing their ass the vast majority of times in those playoff games because of their D.  Seems the little midget and just about all of OU's players that were slated to do well based on OU film end up panning out in the NFL.  Including that one dude who benched 225 like twice.  His technique was flawless.

They didn’t call holding on that play because that would have put OU out of field goal range and Charlie strong wasn’t around to bump into for a personal foul on the coach.

Sure, I'll agree...you also see what you can get away with and adjust.  I promise you OU holding has very little to do with why you guys have sucked shit through a straw and OU keeps winning.  Sure it may have some reason...but overall acting like it's the biggest reason OU keeps winning is a joke.  The biggest reason OU keeps winning this shitty conference is there's one school with OU's resources and that school has underperformed like a motherfucker.  And I already admit OU would not have won without the refs this year.  It wasn't the only reason OU won but the refs sure as shit helped.

I’ve got a 9th grade boy playing left tackle. I’ve told him if he’s getting beat particularly on a pass play that statistically he would be stupid not to hold. 
 

Not holding= at best your QB rushing a throw greatly increasing the odds of a turnover and at worst in the position he plays your QB getting killed. 
 

Holding helps mitigate and often eliminate those bad outcomes and at best a 10% or less chance it gets called if he does it “right”

We’ve struggled lately as everybody knows, but so many critical horseshit calls and non-calls have gone against us. Strongs teams got hosed many, many times. Herman’s often fell short (TCU last year) because of BS. And Sarks team hasn’t gotten Jack. Well, he did get targeting vs TCU.

I do not recall any other QB besides Colt and Card get leveled or cut on a dead ball 2-3 second after it was dead and No call. Arkansas should have two targeting calls and got none.

I do not recall any other team get called for OPI on replay. It happened to us twice.

In 2008, there’s a chance we blow the doors off OU if Tres Way doesn’t flop. Twice. That’s equivalent to two gifted turnovers. Now McCoy got roughed up twice, but neither of those were 3rd downs or drive extending penalties. Then there’s Tech. Forget about the holding. There were 2-3 blatant face masks on Techs Oline. None called.

And we all remember 2009 Nebraskie and us getting 1 second put back. But we all forget the 2-3 bogus chop block calls that seriously hindered us.

Even the Big 12 champ in 2018 was horseshit. Critical blatant non-calls on 4th and 2 and the LJH molestation late.

The weak ass ejection on Malcolm Roach versus ignoring the blatant K Murray hit on Sam in 2019.

Part of this deal is that we get it against other teams in conference making it more difficult whereas OU very often gets the benefit. ISU non-call on PI to end the game. BS spot versus TCU to end the game.

There’s no conspiracy but the hatred towards us promotes negative bias. And I hear it frequently and often when it’s totally bogus.

And when Leach and Mangino bitch, it’s taken as gospel when it’s Texas. Even Walt’s bs in 2015 OSU when discussing officiating was bogus. Maybe not surprising with their OU ties.

I am blown away at some of the holding OU has gotten away with over the years. Perhaps the worst I remember was KState LBer Archer pursuing Adrian Peterson down the line, some asshole chasing behind reaches out and horse collars him to keep him from getting there. No call. It isn’t a matter of being good at hiding it. They just refuse to call it.

Yup i saw that on the replay.  The ref was right there, watched the drive into the ground and you see his hand instinctively reach for his flag, then he lets go and moves his hand away.  He needed a second to process which team was being harmed and that thought overruled what his eyes saw.  There really is no other explanation for that reaction.

The QB is the head referee's responsibility unless he is obstructed.  The Center Judge wants to throw a flag here, but he should defer.

The Head Ref was obstructed on the Thornton hit, so the CJ did flag it.  He was wrong to do so.

so did a little checking on texassports.   from 2010 to 2020(only goes back to 2010) Texas got called for more penalties EVERY year except for 2013.  most years were within a handful to 15 penalties.  This includes OOC.  I'll have some more on that later - Big 12 refing us on away OOC games.

2 outliers

2013(Mack's last year, coincidence? - Mack getting a bit of the Grant Teaff treatment)  Texas 67 penalties Opponents 95

2019 Texas 95 penalties  Opponents 64

other interesting note - even in the close total # of penalties years the yardage was in some cases much worse for Texas.  Meaning we were getting hit with more 10 to 15 yard varieties most likely.

11 seasons.  1 time fewer penalties. what are the odds of that?  On track for more again this year BTW.

2019 Texas 95 penalties  Opponents 64

other interesting note - even in the close total # of penalties years the yardage was in some cases much worse for Texas.  Meaning we were getting hit with more 10 to 15 yard varieties most likely.

11 seasons.  1 time fewer penalties. what are the odds of that?  On track for more again this year BTW.

This shit is rigged.

 

That’s what I found as well. I’d like to go back the past 10 years or so and just do a straight up penalty yardage comparison. These fucks are great at calling illegal motion, false start, or holding on the opponent when the game has already been decided (and not in our favor). Kind of skews the numbers as to not look as bad as it really is. And even if we have less penalties called on us in a particular game you can bet your ass the ones they did call were to bring a scoring play or big play back. Or to extend an opponent’s possession (see roughing the passer to extend OSU’s drive on 3rd and long on Saturday).
