The room is full with 12, wait now it's 13, people.

It's obvious who the simpleton is, look in the mirror for a hint.

Uh...good one. What's next..."I know you are, but what am I?"

There's a rule book and there is a set of philosophies that are applied to the rules, as well as, conference and crew thresholds for penalty calls.


For Defensive Pass Interference, the action by defender has to fit into one of the 6 DPI Categories (philosophies) below. It's obvious Watt's actions COULD have fit into #1 or #5, however, Westerkamp slowing down and awkward fall forward took away for sure DPI call.

In my judgement there was enough there for DPI. I would have not made the DPI call.



See below for the wording from the CFO on Officiating Philosophies on DPI....

Defensive Pass Interference Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include, but are not limited to, the following six categories:

1. Early contact by a defender who is not playing the ball is defensive pass interference provided the other requirements for defensive pass interference have been met, regardless of how deep the pass is thrown to the receiver.

2. Playing through the back of a receiver in an attempt to make a play on the ball.

3. Grabbing and restricting a receiver’s arm(s) or body in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass.

4. Extending an arm across the body (arm bar) of a receiver thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, regardless of the fact of whether or not the defender is looking for the ball.

5. Cutting off or riding the receiver out of the path to the ball by making contact with him without playing the ball.

6. Hooking and restricting a receiver in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that causes the receiver’s body to turn prior to the ball arriving

Not to try to keep this thread on topic, but number one is clearly what happens, you met the requirement of DPI by obstructing his path to the ball and contact occurred. It is a no doubter. Heck even number 5 occurred as well, so I don't know how you could not call it there unless you're a home town official.

Time is important, uh huh.

Just as many of us stated.

IMO If a "judgement" call gets this much attention the refs judgement was different then most.

And many of us completely disagree, because as DiNardo said, there "IS clearly contact," and the contact came from Watt coming from at best a right angle to Westerkamp's path. He wasn't running alongside him, and merely bumping him as they ran. He bumped into him, as he came at him from probably 10 or 11 o'clock to Westerkamp's path. He "clearly made contact" while the ball was in the air, and completely changed his route. PI in many people's opinion.

You can disagree all you want, it came directly from the head of Big 10 officiating. I'll take his opinion over yours, every day of the week and twice on Sunday. His thought is exactly what myself, and others, posted in this very thread.

And before anyone pulls a "It's a CYA moment"; the Big 10 has been on record, publicly, numerous times regarding missed calls.

I guess that makes it official....since it came from the same organization that missed the call in the first place. Your logic skills are impeccable, simp.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Big Ten with a frozen rope. Could it have been called? Maybe...should it have? No

So when the Big 10 admits to a mistake, blown call, or whatever you want to call it - what exactly does that say?

In an interview, Corollo expressed his disappointment in the lack of officiating and failure of technology during the Penn State-Ohio State game.

“My philosophy is, I man up,” Carollo said. “We kicked those calls. I’m not happy with it, I’m not flippant about it, but I’m disappointed about it. They were pretty critical calls for Penn State.”

Oops, there's only one "simpleton" in this thread. You'll find out who as soon as you kook in the mirror.

Look at your rule book, and get back to me. Contact. Altered his route. Yup, PI. GBR wrong...again.

[huskerfan1414]

Personally, I'm fine with people thinking this is an ok no call, but had the pi been called, I don't think there would be too many saying it was a bad call.

I can't keep you guys straight. Are you the Bible beater that believes Evolution doesn't exist. There's a simpleton if I've ever seen one.

Well, close. I am a Christian that believes evolution is a theory, as it was originally taught in schools. I have no desire to continue this conversation since evidence is not your strong suit and you run on with opinions that are clearly lacking any factual basis. You claimed to have numerous studies to validate that people are born homosexual when there is absolutely no evidence and in fact all studies point to the opposite. When asked to produce those, you failed. Argue all night with anyone, you will get the last word, that is fine but for crying out loud man, use some logic in it, not the kind that rolls around in your head and says "I am right no matter what". see proverbs 26:4, google will be your friend. If being a Christian is a simpleton in your eyes, I am more than proud to wear that moniker.

 

[chicolby]

Wow, this thread took an odd turn. Evolution? Christianity? Simpletons? Homosexuality? What is wrong with you people. The post was about a pass interference call and yes, it is a bit subjective, so let's just say that it could have been called either way but it wasn't a slam dunk one way or the other.
