Trolling Wisky board

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

It cracks me up that the Wisconsin boards are loaded with how they dominated the first half, etc., and then everything changed in the second. They kind of ignore the fact that we basically spotted them 21 points with turnovers and a roughing the kicker call. Yes, we stepped up their game in the second half, but Wisconsin didn't exactly "dominate" the first half.

That's more or less how I remember the game playing out. We did everything in our power to step on our own schlong while Wiscy did everything in their power to make sure we did. 2nd half, we stomped on theirs.

How are Wisconsin fans blaming the referees? Was there even any controversial calls?

Exactly. If anything we have more to gripe about. There were a few sh**ty spots that benefited them and that spot screwup with 1:26 left saved them time which could have been a big issue in the game. And I don't care what anyone says, Enunwa caught that ball. They could have at least reviewed it for Christ's sake.

 

The only thing I saw that was missed was a small hold on Abdullah's long kickoff return and I'm not sure if I would have called it either.

First, I don't think it's that big of an issue among Wisconsin fans or at least on the boards. It was mentioned in a list of several takeways of the game that was predominately about Wisconsin and what they did, and did not do. And like I have said earlier in one of the two posts I made in the in-game thread, I don't think any of the calls or no-calls had a big impact on the game. As far as the calls that people could take issue with, there were several holding penalties that were not made, and yeah sure you can say everyone holds it can't be called every time, but some were pretty blatant. If you rewatch the Taylor Martinez rushing TD, just watch your right tackle.

i would rather just watch t-mart rushing for a touchdown.

yeah that's cool too. I'm not being confrontational. Someone asked what people could complain about when it came to calls...

Yeah, I was watching with my roommate, who's from Milwaukee and is a big Badger fan, and we both saw that hold as well as a pretty blatant one on the long kickoff return (though I'm not sure either held player had a shot at making a play anyway). After the game, we both agreed that there were bad calls on both sides of the ball and that overall they didn't decide the game.

I haven't noticed anyone talk about the Martinez fumble. His arm was going forward on that pass play. It was not reviewed. Everyone around me in the stands was wondering why that didn't get reviewed.

Eh, I'm torn on that one..............I think it was too close to overturn the call on the field of a fumble.

[Count 'Bility]

That was fumble. Obvious. The arm was coming forward, but without the ball. As far as the Stave knee down play, I guess I dont understand how that was so close to need a review. He grabbed the ball, then put his knee down, with the ball in his hands.

I agree. The slowmo replay looked like a fumble.

 

As far as holding, both teams got away with a lot. Couple times Eric Martin was absolutely tackled in the backfield by a Wisky OL, and one of those was around the legs from behind. I thought that should have been a clip or a hold, but the refs weren't calling them either way so it was at least fair.

[macroboy]

I went to a wisky board bc I wanted to see what they were saying about the 4th down play. Did you see on the replay that it looked like Ball didn't think he was supposed to get the carry?

 

Also, lots of insanity- people that think they still can win the BIG, complaining about the refs, headhunting coaches. A lot of what they said was weird and crazy to me/ Is that what we look like to outsiders?

 

+1 for the Sig.

 

thanks. good to see someone recognize them.

In my personal experience, Wisky and Bored don't go in the same sentence! oh wait!

[VectorVictor]

We(most husker fans) still aren't in the reality that these are still rebuilding years. Look at Bama. They went through 3 coaches.(franchione, price and shula) before they got Saban. If Pelini goes 6-6 after martinez is gone, we may need to replace him like bama replaced shula. It may be unpopular to fire Pelini if he can't get us over the top but that is reality. heck, Texas is in a downward spiral and they don't even know it yet!!!!

 

other points

 

The offense is good. The defense is still not good. Wisconsin's offense has been terrible all year. I was proud of the fight the team had. Even if we lose tonight, I was proud. This doesn't feel like Bill Clownahan circa 2007 praise the lord!!!!

 

The defense did what was needed. The offense needs to pick up the D like the D picked up the offense circa 2009.

 

So...um...fire Pelini because 'Bama did something similar? That makes zero sense, and frankly, this fire Pelini derp is getting old quick.

 

And Texas won't be in a downward spiral as long as they have their shoeshine boy as head of officiating for that conference. Their bulls**t win against Oklahoma's "special" brother in Stillwater was evidence that the officials are as crooked and in Texass' pocket as the day is long.

You're not going to gain much traction complaining about holding calls here

[Lyons in the Sea of Red.]

Funny that badger complains for holding call. Watch the last drive for wisconsin and watch Eric Martin get absolutely tackled. Talk about a hold. Oh, and the PI on the last drive, call me curious on that one. Pretty weak.

Looked like a fumble to me. Point is, I don't think the officiating had any impact on this game. Big 10 officials don't seem very competent in some of the games I have watched so it could have been much worse.

 

 

I think if we would have lost, you would be saying different with the incomplete catch of Enunwa at the 1 yd line (sp?)

Can't argue with that one. That was a catch and screwed us out of 4 points. But the rest of the game to me wasn't called that badly considering the crew we had.

Honestly, that's on Pelini moreso than the officials. Pelini had a challenge available and didn't use it. If it there was ever a time to try and get a call overturned, it's to get a pass ruled incomplete switched around that results in a 1st and Goal from the ~2 yard line.

I don't think a judgment call can be reviewed. And AFAIK, that was the correct call since Enunwa didn't complete the catch all the way to the ground.

but the ground caused the drop, after his back hit the ground. i am not sure what the right call would have been, but i would have liked to see it get reviewed. my understanding is that it would have been a catch.
