If Nebraska makes the Big 12 title game they should demand the officials come from a neutral conference. Either that or just pick 7 dads out of the stands in Dallas, they might be better.
Now I believe d-1 officials deserve respect, but I will not extend that blanket once a crew throws it off. Anyone want to comment on: The DPI againts NE where the a&m receiverf pulled the defender into contact. The roughing the passer against NE who was already committed to h is clean shoulder first hit Alright let the apologists start... |

I didn't see the plays but if are the only 2 misses they had, then I'd say great job.
When you hit a defenseless player at the shoulders or above then it is a foul. Being committed will not relieve you from a foul of this nature. Hit him in the chest then it would not be foul if the contact was unavoidable. |

I saw some brutal officiating all over yesterday, including the ... wait for it... SEC. It seemed as if every time I changed channels another play was being overturned.

I watched the entire game. The only clearly missed call was early in the game when A&M threw an outlet pass to a back in the flat and he got pasted by contact clearly directed at the shoulder or above. The RFP call was correct as the defender lead with the crown of his helmet. There's little doubt about either one of these.
The DPI was flagged and the flag was picked up. From the replay, the contact probably didn't occur until the defender touched the ball with his left hand/arm. His right arm was behind the receiver, but it 1) didn't touch until about the same time he hit the ball and 2) didn't swirl the receiver around. Honestly, this call could have gone either way. I admit I'm baised as an A&M grad, but there can be no debate that Pelini and Nebraska embarrassed themselves last night. There were numerous personal fouls and USC penalties and ever one of them was deserved (and not mentioned by the poster). Last week, A&M had plenty of big calls go against them -- something like 3 TDs wiped out by penalties. Every call I saw in that game was correct. |

You are right on re the Nebraska behavior. The psyche of this team since last year has been that they are going to be hosed by the Big XII. They go in expecting it and then they perform in a way that makes it (many fouls) come true. I will have a video clip later in the day though that shows an A & M player not being a good boy and actually "causing" a Nebraska player to react in a way that got him a personal foul (kicked the A & M player) and an unsportsmanlike conduct (not sure what he did) on the same play. The A & M player must be an animal husbandry major as it appeared he might have been trying to artificially inseminate the Nebraska kid. |

When you score less than 7 points, it is not the official's fault.

The Nebraska chancellor agrees with you. He announced today that he's fed up with Pelini's behavior too and he's gonna do something about it(supposedly).

The Big XII (or the remaining ten) pocket $9 million if somebody other than Nebraska wins the Big XII championship game this year.
Now I'm not allowed to referee soccer games my kid plays in, not because I would be unfair, but because every call I made would be scrutinized. This is Refereeing 101. Even if you're the best official available, if you have a vested interest in the outcome, you don't get to call the game. And if Nebraska makes the title game, the Big XII has a $9 million dollar interest in who wins. I'm not accusing anybody of anything. In 20 years of soccer refereeing, I saw exactly three cases of blatant referee bias, so I don't think it's as widespread as fans like to believe. But I do think Nebraska has a point. It's not fair to the officials to ask them to call a game where their bosses have such a huge amount of money at stake based on who wins or loses. Obviously I'm a soccer guy, so help me out here. What am I missing? |

What you are missing is that the league bosses are not officiating the game. The game will be reffed by a group of guys who are at the point of the career where they know full well the ONLY thing they have which cannot or should not be called into question is their integrity. They gain nothing from that "windfall" you mention. They lose EVERYTHING if they were to allow themselves to be pressured by anyone.
