Poor officiating

[AJ32]

It might be the whiskey talking, but dang. Holding could be called on almost every one of their of their offensive plays. Also, there seemed to be a lot of extracurricular sh*t going on. For example, I believe it was their second touchdown, when the running back punched Fisher (not 100% sure who the defender was) in the helmet. If the officiating is going to be this bad every week, we would have been better off in the Big 12.

No kidding! They held our boys all night long and got called on it like twice. Crap.

Its the Wiskey talking Big 12 officiating is much worse.

 

[JJ Husker]

Yes, it's the whiskey talking if your trying to blame any of this on the refs.

Not all of it. We definitely stunk it up. But I feel like it would have been a lot closer. As in a respectable loss, not a blow out loss.

Now to put this in context I am fighting with my girlfriend over my behavior durring the game. So this is all in good fun and partially about myself

 

[Suzy Q]

It might partially be the whiskey but I definitely saw the RB punch Fisher on their first touchdown... Not okay. And we sucked it up but the officiating didn't help at all.

I don't think it's wrong to question the officiating, but to say it had anything to do with the loss would definitely be wrong. Saw a couple of holds that they should've called, but we lost with a combination of shooting ourselves in the foot with play calling and being beaten by a better team.

Officiating was fine.

 

[ronsss]

i am just wondering if the coaching staff is not up to par for nu,,,,,it seems nu stays away from big name coaches...., but i quess they did try, but could not get who they wanted

 

[Igetbored216]

Blah blah blah. We lost the game cause our team isn't that good. Officiating has little to do with it.

My favorite was when our D got called for holding.

 

[Danny Bateman]

Fisher did get punched. My only regret is that they couldn't nail him in the fleshy patch where any normal male would have balls.

The refs did piss me off tonight, but I was pissed to begin with, so I guess that doesn't really count. The refs were just another thing we needed working against us.

Everytime we lose someone has to whine about the officials. They kicked our asses. Get over it.

So you think its fine to punch a guy? Cool. I agree we got our asses kicked. That doesn't make the officiating ok. We would have lost even with great officiating. The officiating still sucked.
