Illinois 21 Cincy 0 ......2nd quarter WTF

 

[UCFBfan]

Just turned to that game and saw the same score and said the exact same thing! Talk about a 180 from last week! Illinois isn't that great this year.

Cincy looks good 2nd half. USF has an offense worse than ours. MI State's is not much better.

LOL at Big Ten officiating.

LOL at Big Ten officiating.

There is no other sport where the employer of the officials has a stake in the outcome of the game.

 

[Jax Husky]

Cincinnati is getting absolutely screwed by these refs. Wow. Too bad really.

 

[Scoe]

That is as criminal as it gets.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Tuberville should have kicked the FG anyway. He would have needed a TD even if he made it on 4th down.

This game is over. An official can turn a close game into a rout with 2-3 bad calls.

This is just 100% false.

 

[Scoe]

How was that an advancement of the ball btw

 

[whaler11]

That was the most bizarre call I've seen in a while though.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Are you arguing that the conference that employs the officials does not have a stake in the outcome?

I'm arguing it's not the only sport with that dynamic. Watch an NBA playoff game sometime.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The NBA has issues, although its officiating is light years ahead of where it was 20+ years ago.

College football officiating is outright cheating.

 

[SubbaBub]

Was just watching Cincy for watchings sake. Now openly rooting for them to win this game. CFB is such a cesspool.

Why does upstater always get blasted on this board when he discusses B1G refs?

And yes, I know I'm referring to myself in the 3rd person, but if you had been exposed to B1G refs for over a decade, youtoo would develop a dissociative personality disorder.

I don't think people disagree with the premise, it's just not a Big 10 thing. The ACC and SEC are the same.

 

[Dooley]

Geez, UCONN and Illinois seemingly have a pretty similar gameday stadium experiences. The stadium PR guy sounds a bit like ours (over the TV) and they ring some sort of bell after scores. Not to mention, the thousands of empty seats.

I have no doubt that elsewhere a ref will miss calls.

But only the B1G comes out thieving.

UConn experienced ridiculous holding calls against ND at South Bend. I get that. That's bias.

What happened to Cincy is thievery. It's a whole other order.

 

[Dooley]

Uh oh, ouchie Munchie. I hope he is okay.

 

[upstater]

Awful. Awful

ACC fans of non-favored schools have plenty of examples of thievery. UConn witnessed it against UNC.

 

[SubbaBub]

Looked a lot like the Tom Brady injury. Looks like he's done for the year.

 

[Jarhead_1775]

Lageaux is all done. Leg flopping around...

 

[Dooley]

Yeah, that is definitely a season/career ender. That was disgusting. I wish him well in his recovery.
