It's basically putting a kid in timeout. If he's in the NFL, they can just sock him for 25 GrandThe other idiotic rule is being suspended for the next game for a half.. Makes no sense to penalize a player for the next game what so ever..
Worse yet, they never called targeting on the OSU DB who hit a Nebraska player with his helmet. 😡🤦🏽♂️🤗
Klatt is right but does anyone honestly think the buffoons in the BIG office will reverse anything that favors Nebraska?
Neither are targeting. I have no problem with the no-call on the hit on Thompkins. The call on Williams was reminiscent of Kenny Bells block, where it was clean but vicious and the refs had to find something wrong with it. Total bull crap.Even better view of the D Williams hit. Clearly not targeting. Yet the OSU defender hits our player with the top of his helmet....funny.
agree.. the one on Cam looked more like a defensive move on his part.. he knew he was going to get hit, and tipped in rather than take it on the chin.Neither are targeting. I have no problem with the no-call on the hit on Thompkins. The call on Williams was reminiscent of Kenny Bells block, where it was clean but vicious and the refs had to find something wrong with it.

If anything, you could make the case that the hit on Thompkins was more egregious than the one that got Cam ejected because his happened so quickly.

Obviously we just need to start coaching our defenders to go for the knees. Tear 4 or 5 ACLs and see if the conference changes its approach.

You really need to let it go. Wisconsin was up 49-10 when the call on Bell was made. I don't think the refs needed to find something wrong with it. Plus, we still scored on that drive. It also had nothing to do with Wisconsin still scoring another 21 points afterwards.Neither are targeting. I have no problem with the no-call on the hit on Thompkins.

Guys like you make me laugh. You are so laser-focused on anyone who points out the officiating may have been bad that you automatically assume the people complaining are also saying it cost Nebraska the game.You really need to let it go.

The 3 targeting calls had nothing to do with us only scoring 17 points, or fumbling twice.
Losers cry about bad officiating. Winners persevere and win.
Actually, Ryan Day spent a lot of time "crying" about the targeting rule last year. Is he a loser? The targeting rule sucks and ALL football coaches hate it. Win or lose. I'm actually all for the spirit of the rule, but the automatic ejection and suspension is DUMB.Losers cry about bad officiating. Winners persevere and win.

No one, not a single person on this entire board, in any thread after the game, has indicated we lost because of the officials. But man, you sure are ready to jump on those who complain about the poor officiating and call them losers...
Here’s a thought... if threads like this, which was started because a respected college football analyst said the calls on the field and then upheld in the booth were bad, bother you that much, don’t read it. There are a lot of whiny threads on the board that I haven’t even touched because I know it’s stupid to get myself worked up over.
You’ll feel better not reading these ‘whiny’ posts and we won’t have to hear your snarky posts.
Deal?

I just read something this morning that indicated it was possible for the suspension to be reviewed. But I won't hold my breath.IS there an avenue for the big to review this call and reinstate Williams? And if so, will they?
Yes I did read his post. Not sure you read his, or mine.Did you actually read this thread before replying? No one is saying it changed to outcome of the game. The Williams targeting penalty was the wrong call. Kenny Bell's hit was awesome. He put shoulder to shoulder. Sorry if the Wisky player was caught off guard and was unprepared for the hit. NOT
No, he isn't a loser, because his teams won games, despite whatever bad officiating he thinks his team suffered through.Actually, Ryan Day spent a lot of time "crying" about the targeting rule last year.

So you're telling me that no member of our fan base, or on this board, have ever said we lost a game because of officiating?Guys like you make me laugh.

Not sure if I am in the two tier camp. Replay review just needs to do a better job and quit eating chicken wings and do their job. They can eat after the game. Several plays should have been reviewed that weren'tNo, he isn't a loser, because his teams won games, despite whatever bad officiating he thinks his team suffered through.
And I believe there should be a two-tier targeting as well, like there used to be with facemasking.
I think we, as a fan base, whine too much about officials. That's all.
That call drew a record number of flags- how in the world does all the ref call that? Aren't they supposed to be officiating certain areas of the field? I think a few even threw and hat and maybe a shoe...
Based on what I have seen this year the SEC reverses that call-
I think every team that loses a game has fans that say it's because of the officiating. So you'd be best served if you'd stop crying about people crying. It's as much a fact of life as the sun rising in the east. And in this case, when literally everyone from Joel Klatt to Mike Pereira were saying they were bad calls, the complaints are more than justified.So you're telling me that no member of our fan base, or on this board, have ever said we lost a game because of officiating?
There have been people already saying that if we lose to Wisconsin, it will be because of the calls in the Ohio State game. That, to me, sounds a lot like blaming the officials for a loss.
Nice straw man argument. Now you are opening it up to every game ever played. Of course there are going to be posters in every fan base on this earth who are going to say at some point in time the refs cost their team a game. With that in mind, I suggest you go to every board in America and remind them that whining is for losers, just as you have here. Do your civic duty and call everyone out.So you're telling me that no member of our fan base, or on this board, have ever said we lost a game because of officiating?

I never said they weren't bad calls. All I'm saying is that good teams win in the face of bad calls, and don't make excuses, as some have. If you believe differently, then OK.I think every team that loses a game has fans that say it's because of the officiating. So you'd be best served if you'd stop crying about people crying.

it's the pussification of football.any hard hit gets a flag now.
I'll admit that this thread didn't exist when I posted, but here you go:Nice straw man argument. Now you are opening it up to every game ever played.

Now back to the point of this thread. No one on this board said we lost to OSU because of the refs. Do you agree?
And which posters are saying if we lose to wisconsin it’ll be because of the refs in the OSU game? I haven’t looked at all the posts, because the ones that are going to be contentious are threads I haven’t opened. You should try that as well.
Will you also admit you could have responded way earlier but didn’t have a leg to stand on until this thread? You responded to mgbreis right away, obviously read my post as well and ignored it. Until something finally appeared to support your claim.I'll admit that this thread didn't exist when I posted, but here you go:
Imagine how many flags the B1G refs will have to throw this week to keep UW in the game
Prepare yourself for the biggest pile of horse**** since Saturday. If they let us play a fair game we win by 50+. Will probably come down to the wire.nebraska.forums.rivals.com
I'll admit that I answered mgbreis right away because his required a shorter answer, and then I had things to do until this evening, just like many people in America do.Will you also admit you could have responded way earlier but didn’t have a leg to stand on until this thread?

Let me say it again... if the standard is every game ever played throughout all of history, as you decided to claim to make a point, then every fan base in the nation at one time or another has made the claim that the refs cost them a game.
And no one said the refs cost the Huskers the Ohio State game either. Do you agree?
Agreed.. i have NO problem with them calling it on the field.. throw the flag.. the worse part of this is when they review it and it clearly isnt violating any rule then overturn it.. thats where the mistake happens.. garbageNeither are targeting. I have no problem with the no-call on the hit on Thompkins. The call on Williams was reminiscent of Kenny Bells block, where it was clean but vicious and the refs had to find something wrong with it. Total bull crap.
If anything, you could make the case that the hit on Thompkins was more egregious than the one that got Cam ejected because his happened so quickly.
Why? We should just take the poor officiating and not say anything about it? And if we do express displeasure this is bad, why?I'll admit that I answered mgbreis right away because his required a shorter answer, and then I had things to do until this evening, just like many people in America do.
Sure, other fan bases have all said that. However, our fan base is supposed to be of a higher standard, is it not?
