Horns Down

PI against the Aggies will be often and justified based on our inability to turn around and actually defend. Maybe after we get burned for 200 yds in penalties our Dbacks will stop with the sheathing the sword move and other ridiculous gestures when they did nothing to contribute.

Years ago, I worked under a HS Head Coach that was ALWAYS paranoid about getting bad calls in big games. He expected it to happen, told the coaches, players, and parents / fans it was going to happen. Occasionally, he was right. Even as young assistant, I eventually figured out that all the " bad calls/ cheating refs/ screw job" talk was his way of having a ready made excuse for when things didn't turn out ok. Sometimes, ****ty things, do happen. But overall, good teams, seem to always make their own good luck. They believe they can overcome bad officiating, a bad fumble, missed kick, etc. That is often why they are a good team. Hoping for a good game on Saturday. Old man rant, over.

A true skill is overcoming your emotions when a bad call happens against you

Offensive holding on our opponent, because it doesn't happen.

Repeatedly.

If you get over one bad call there tend to be exponentially more after.

Targeting on Scourton

Followed by targeting on Daniels when he lowers his head to try and get a first down.

All of this is just what's wrong with us. To hell with Texas
and quite complaining about them.

Stick a walk on out there and set the tempo on the first defensive play. Buckley a sip receiver and bring the pain.

Everyone knows it's gonna be a targeting call.

And against someone important.

Targeting on Elko, maybe.

The same SEC who screwed us by letting t.u. in is the same SEC who will be officiating the game. The fix is in.

If this is true, which admittedly, it has looked like this could be true, the bigger question would be why would the program stay in the conference with them? That's just asinine to accept that this will be how it will be going forward. If you really believe this thing is fixed, the B1G should already have our application and it should be reviewing it for acceptance.

Palpably unfair act penalty when a 12th Man towel accidentally falls onto the field and the t-sip WR slips on it amd falls out of bounds on the way to the endzone....

Targeting

Existing, on the kickoff team. 50 yards from the spot of the foul, and 3 touchdowns awarded to tessus.

I would support that effort.

I told the SEC replay official that they really need to watch ut's offensive lineman hold our defensive linemen, because it's happening every game and it never gets called. He said he does know about the holding going on but he can't make the call from the replay booth. I told him, it's been happening in every game and they need to call a few.

They need to do this American Idol style.

If everyone watching the game indicates the same penalty at the same time, call it.

The non calls will make a much greater impact on the game than the calls, because officials routinely say that they just didn't see the offense. It is their go to position in putting their foot on the scales. Wild, wild, west!

Lot of wisdom right here.

If you really believe the refs are cheating to favor one team, please don't bother to watch the game.

OR missed calls are not overturned by corrupt officials like the UGA fumble at the 2 Yard line last night. Just one or two F-ups by the refs like that will seal the game for the sips tonight.

Chop block

I heard there's already a flag on the field just waiting for clarification.

I bet not a single offensive holding will be called on them. It won't be from the lack of it happening.

Has yet to be called on anyone we've played this year so far.

Illegal blindside block with targeting

Who had "phantom touchdown"?

You get the prize.

Targeting overturned

The real calls are worse that my first thoughts

It was not "forceable" enough. (gotta be kidding me! It is either targeting or not)
