huskerduff Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 If I was Callahan and Co., I would be on the big XII about there lack of fair officiating. 1 holding call against our opponents in 8 games, and at least 2 obvious infractions today (one on a TD). That doesn't sound like they are doing their job to me. But then again, you can't depend on officials to win a game. Quote Link to comment
nepolo7 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 agreed hate to blame the reffs but they were responsible for at least 7 points for ou. In a game this close everything is a factor. however, when your offense is as ineffective as ours was in the first half you do not deserve to win. Quote Link to comment
Red Snow Sword: Husker Sentinel Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I agree..... but I think that this is something that other people, besides BC, need to get up in arms about.... One teams head coach doesn't say much... either a collective movement from the fans, or just other people in the Big 12 community/with NCAA leverage that can make a statement about this. what I don't like to hear is it being reported so very much all over the internet by fans who saw the game. I think it's time to start doing something, however, I really don't have any solid suggestions at the moment... Quote Link to comment
chuckd Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Did the officials cost us the game? No. Did the officials change the course of the game? Probably Did the officials suck? Yes indeed. I don't know why but officiating has been the worst this year that I have ever seen it, the big 12 in particular. The simplae fact that only ONE, yes ONE holding calls have been called on Husker opponents this season is a complete joke. I will never accuse an official of losing a game for a team, but that can change the course of one. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Have you ever seen an Ref get in a head coaches face like that dude did today? That was like a baseball umpire going after a manager. That fat bastards gut was really moving when he was yelling at Billy C. Sorry Benard I called the ref a "Bastard". That's not very classy of me.

Yeah, I noticed that, it seemed very unprofessional to me. If he was mad give him a penalty but to get up in his face that is just rediculous. Callahan is pretty mellow, for the most part on the sidelines, when you see him get that irate you can pretty much be sure that the officials missed something. Quote Link to comment
roadrat Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Sure the refs held us to 16 yds rushing, countless passes gone awry. The coaches better do their job and figure out why this team is not prepared to play from the get-go. Quote Link to comment
BigRedDallasTexan Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I also hate to blame a game on the refs, but think of how much different it could be and I can't help but believe that we could have won if they had a combined IQ of at least 36. These guys are an absolute disgrace. I'd love to get the address of any of these guys so I can give them a piece of my mind. There were 2 blatant holding calls on that one TD. This is absolutely inexcusable. These guys get payed to make these calls and they're not. Someone needs to be fired. Quote Link to comment
huskerduff Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 I don't ever say the refs lost a game for us, but they are obligated to call a fair game. It feels like a conspiracy against us. If they aren't going to call obvious holding calls on our opponents, then be consistent and keep the flag of the field when we're on offense. Anyone know how many holding calls we've had this year? Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I thought the student section throwing flags on the field after that TD was pretty funny. I don't agree with them throwing the pop bottles though. At least someone threw a flag on that play. Quote Link to comment
chuckd Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 We have had a grand total of ONE holding call called on our opponents. Also we have been called for only a handfull, which is surprising considering the poor play of the oline. It does seem that holding is being called very losely this year for some reason.

BigRedDallasTexan Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I think we should probably start holding. It can't be much worse than the 10 yard losses we're taking when Taylor gets sacked. Quote Link to comment
bigredhusker427 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 They would call a frickin' penalty on us if we even thought about holding. The other team never gets noticed. bullsh#t! Quote Link to comment
HSKRNOKC Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 They would call a frickin' penalty on us if we even thought about holding. The other team never gets noticed. bullsh#t! It is getting so blatantly obvious game in and game out that we are getting HOSED.I understand missing one every now and then,but come on. Something needs to be done. Quote Link to comment
nu4everfan15 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 i just watched the ketv clips on their website and saw the holding of mckeon... it seriously made me sick... excuse me while i get the trash can... it was probably one of the worst calls ive ever seen and one that can change the impact of a game and momentum Quote Link to comment
