The Game: M 42 - "The" Ohio State 27 - Not Anymore. Post Game Thread.

I don’t think this game will be in “ref range”.

[lineygoblue]

Just let it be decided by the players. Whatever that may be.

[Mike]

That’s what worries me the most.

I'm trying to say all the nice things about the team now, so I won't have to say it on Saturday, after the game, and while I'm headed full steam into another bout of depression. Its really time to put this dominance to an end, and make the series competitive again. One loss isn't going to diminish anything that OSU has done over the last 20 years.

So many things could go wrong, and let me say this now, .. P.L.E.A.S.E. Big Ten .. give us the BEST officiating crew you can send. Call the game down the middle. I don't want an advantage, and I don't want to have to beat both the zebras and OSU. Leave the zebras home that have a unending hard on for Michigan. Just give us a fairly officiated ballgame. Both teams deserve the best. That's all I'm going to say about that.

I hope Michigan can break the chain.

Preemptive WWCAW. I like it.

Heh. I believe it's WWAWC -- Worldwide Anti-Wolverine Conspiracy.

Tomato....Tomato...

The screwjob the Wolverines get are unparalleled in football...at all levels. They oddly have never actually been the beneficiary of a questionable or bad call...always screwed by them. It's amazing to me how HARBAUGH!!! has been able to win games given this mass conspiracy...

Well, as the originator of the WWAVC, it's tom-A-to. Dipshit.

And, yes, the likes of UNICEF, NASA, Google, PETA, NASDAQ, most of OPEC, Jimmy Kimmel, the Red Cross, CIA and Willie Nelson, to name a few, are working in unison to screw over all things M.

Your comments are interesting, guys, .. especially when my comment was asking for a fairly officiated game for both teams. I made the point of mentioning that both teams deserve a fairly offiiciated ballgame. I'm not surprised that an OSU fan would love to have biased officiating in their favor, however. They'll take 'scoreboard' any way they can get it.

Its benefitted them before. I mean, how many times has a conference assigned 4 out of 7 crew members to a game that are 'fans' of the home team? Urban thought it was fine, and said so.

There's no need to re-state all of the times that conference officiating has denied Michigan a fair shake. The conference has admitted mistakes in games involving Michigan numerous times, including another game this season. Which, .. cost us another win.

All I asked for is a fairly officiated ballgame for both teams.

[iam416]

You ask for that because you assume M will get screwed because you bitch about officiating a ton. So, yeah, I'm gonna mock the fuck out of that.

[lineygoblue]

Have at it, then. Its that time of year.

My griping about Big Ten officiating will go on until they do something to fix it. If more evidence comes forward this weekend, yes, I'll mention it.

If not, there's a ton of evidence that has been well established, and admitted to, to keep me going for a very long time.

[iam416]

Oh, I know you'll never cease with the WWAWC. Ever.

[lineygoblue]

I don't know if there's a conspiracy or not, because as you know, those are hard to prove.

But, I do believe, as well established by the facts, that the conference has taken a very cavalier and even hands off approach in addressing officiating mistakes, errors, and just downright laziness, when it happens in games involving Michigan. I recall only one instance where the conference changed anything for the better, due to an officiating error involving Michigan. That was when the conference decided to fire all the "spartan bob's", and keep the timing of the games on the field, instead of in the hands of a booster/homer in the press box, with a friendly finger on the time clock. The NCAA followed suit about a year later.

Other than that, the conference has admitted several times, that officiating errors have occurred, and their response has been, 'oh well'.

I don’t think this game will be in “ref range”.

Nope. It sure won't.

[iam416]

I know what you believe.
