OT - Funny message boards

This is no surprise, but if you guys want a laugh, go to Mizzou's fan message board during a game.

TigerBoard.com :: Basketball Board

It is hilarious to read. They think every call that goes against them is a crap call. They're convinced that Big 12 officials are exclusively bad and are out to get them every game.

Reminds me of a basketball official who has the same opinion of NFL officials.

Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot.

Hmmm, except for the fact that I'm not a fan of either team that was in the Super Bowl.

I will admit that calling NFL officials incompetent as a whole wasn't called for. I do maintain that football officiating is the worst of the three major sports, pro and college included.

Should have stopped there.

Every fan is convinced that they have the worst officials in their conference and that their team gets the worst of it in their conference. That's part of the definition of fan.

All that just makes you a fanboy.

Mr. ZM1983

You have come to the wrong place to criticize officials at the D1 level. And I take offense because one of those officials got me started into officiating in Jr. High and High School. In fact, he gave me most my games in my first and second year. If you come to be bring down officiating, I suggest reading your NFHS officials manuel for the first pages and you will learn what it takes to be a official.

He thinks that only applies to the sport he officiates. Other sports are fair game.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the FED have the same code of ethics to all officials in all sports?

I would think so. To me, it's more of a character thing....

Where did I criticize any particular D1 official? I just gave an opinion that football is the worst of the three major sports.

He never said you criticized "a" D1 official. Frankly, that would be better than a blanket statement such as yours.

Your insistence that you are right in spite of being shot down pretty easily on the football side is enlightening.

To say any sport is the worst when your perspective of that sport is only as a fan is not very credible.

Have you officiated a NFL football game before? Or any level of football either? My opinion is even if you never officiated a sport before, hold your self to a level that doesn't belittle officiating as a whole. We expect this from a fan off the street, but not one of our own.

Yes. Not a high level but I have done it.

I'm not belittling officiating as a whole, but I guess that's your opinion.
