My bad

[JMick]

No doubt. Everyone saw it today. EVERY key call went Ball States way. Refs should be called out publicly.

flags were literally coming out after we had first downs on multiple occasions. the flags were after the whistle multiple times

The bigger problem, imo, is the game getting hidden on ESPN3. I bet there's a ton of match fixing going on, being hidden in games that no one cares about and aren't broadcast to the general public.

It was nice when I was young and naive to all that stuff but sadly it happens way more than people would like to believe.

There's no doubt in the world. As soon as the wrong team starts winning, that yellow flag comes out. Announcers can't deny it because they know the viewers see e

But UConn, with offensive inefficiency, put the refs in a position in which they can go crazy with their pro Ball State bias.

 

[Derucky]

Some incomprehensible play calls But played young as well.

ETA: That play the replay decided wasn’t targeting. Why wasn’t it at least unnecessary roughness?

It WAS targeting. Refs didn't want UConn to win.

 

[kemba]

The targeting was made even more annoying with how the announcers are watching it while they review it and calling it the textbook definition of targeting, and then not calling the refs out even a little bit when they messed up the call

Their names need to be called out publicly and so do the names of the MAC officiating committee.

the people to blame are much closer. The UConn athletic department is ultimately the problem to agreeing to MAC refs.

 

[Derucky]

Discipline? There were more phantom fouls than actual penalties against UConn this game.

That's for sure. Refs should be held accountable

Charlton had a bad second half of play calling.

No doubt. Cost the game because the refs took over when UConn started struggling.

 

[shizzle787]

The two most egregious ref decisions were the targeting call and the no-call for block in the back on their last TD run. If that gets called, they are backed up on the edge of field goal range.

Hope at least Mora says something. Yeah the offense stuggled. And the refs were biased. Say both things.

Think they would've missed it if that was UConn?

I would’ve said the same thing had we won.

 

[Skiblets]

Any time we had momentum in the second half, the officials found a way to take it away. It's the most egregious game cooking I've ever seen. I'm flabbergasted.

Don’t remember any momentum
In the second half

Field goal block.

Why the hell did they agree to that, and if that’s the case our athletic department needs to be called out by name too.

 

[Derucky]

UConn 12 penalties....Ball St 2.

Ouch.

And if you notice, home-biased refs will make calls for the away team only when they don't matter to try to look fair. Like people can't see through it.

Were they MAC refs?

It use to be the referees came from the away teams conference, and I thought we have certain leagues that we use

as far as I could tell it was a MAC crew and it took me awhile because the number of "Ron Hudson"s in football.

 

[formerlurker]

Haven't read the whole thread, has anyone mentioned the obvious facemask on the kick return? Almost unscrewed Victor's head from his neck and no one said anything.

The nice thing about being independent is you can criticize officiating and the conference can't tell you to keep quiet...since we are not in a conference

 

[ZooCougar]

I only caught the 2nd half, and we regressed about a year. It was just bad football, bad playcalling, no discipline.

This is a very bad take.

 

[jdb50]

A. Turner got hit helmet to helmet while his arms were down as he was being tackled. The defender led with his helmet. The reversal was inexcusable. On the tipped pass reversal their receiver was not held but fell down. The ball was uncatchable. It was a made up call.

Everyone knows you can probably call holding on every play. It seemed like every time we made a play they discovered a foul.

We also didn’t ourselves many favors with things like false starts.

But the last time I felt this frustrated with officiating was maybe the Notre Dame game.

When you see stuff like that it's not incompetence, it's something far worse.
