For the record, I don't think that the sips are paying the refs to blow calls. I simply think that many are not unbiased. Many are longhorn fans and as fans, they want their team to win. We've all seen photos of a ref or two - who just happens to have blown some calls in the longhorns favor - wearing longhorn shirts, jerseys, hats, or flashing the hook 'em sign. I don't think that they are intentionally sucking at their job; they are just incapable of truly being impartial.

2004 Kansas game, trailing 4 pts in the 4Q, and KU gets hit with a phantom PI call resulting in Mangino describing it as follows:

quote:
"You know what this is all about, don't you? BCS. That's what made a difference today in the game," Mangino said. "That's what made the difference in a call in front of their bench. Dollar signs."


It'd be one thing if it were just 1 team, or one isolated event.

It's happened against Nebraska (extra second), oSu (fumble before breaking the plane), Kansas (above), A&M (countless, but most recent being the late hit call on the final drive last year), Tech (i remember leach talking about it, cant remember the exact incident), Colorado (see fist pump video after score on youtube), etc.

So pathetic.

what is pathetic is to continue to repeat things that are absolutely not true...such as the Neb 1 second.

We apparently arent paying them enough... I mean you saw the damn ball hit the OSU kids hand on the kickoff right? Yet the call stood in thier favor??? You are off the payroll immediately and you will never work in this country again!!

Cmon indigo, you and I both know the replay booth got a call at the end of that game from a higher power and they quickly edited the video to show 1 second left when the ball hit the ground. The entire officiating crew, replay officials, and broadcasting crew were all in on it to fool the rest of the country by showing the replay at 1 second when the ball hit the ground.

More oeople were involved in this than the 911 inside job.

Love it when a sip comes to an Aggie message board to post this. The reality is that A&M and Texas both are still at least somewhat obsessed with each other. Sip fans desperately want A&M to fail miserably in the SEC and Aggie fans will always take pleasure in Texas losing. Water is wet. The sky is blue. The only thing that is funny is when fans of either school try to say they don't care at all about each other. Each of us cares, it's just some are sipsessed or agsessed. If you are a sip that posts on an Aggie board you are automatically agsessed btw.

How often do refs use instant replay to review and reset the clock at the end of a football game? Or for any non-penalty play where a timeout isn't called for that matter?

What's pathetic is that sips still try to act like this is something Aggies made up, even though people from every school in (or previously in) the Big12 know this to be true.

Fact is Big12 conference refs know if a bad call loses a big game for tu they're gone. If there's a close call in a crucial part of an important game, the calls go for tu. The commissioners office has openly stated that tu is the most important team to them. That attitude is what creates this unequal refereeing.

Good lord that was an awful call. Also notice the handful of ass grab at the 48 second mark. I guess the man on man love isnt just a more recent thing.

If the exact opposite situation happened, where NU was down and had the ball they would have never used instant replay for review. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.

Frankie - please provide one instance to support your claim that a ref making a call against Texas that cost them the game would get fired.

Inigo - Randy Christal, yes that Randy Christal, was an umpire in a home game where Roger Clemons was pitching. Roger didn't think too highly of his strike zone, and neither did his catcher. Randy threw out the catcher for framing pitches for extended periods of time. Roger then let his coaches and the media know about his problems with Christal.

Randy Christal umped exactly zero Texas home baseball games for the forseeable future.

Peace out fu[kface.

I believe Bonfire's Louisville-slugger to Inigo's head post is a reference to that Texas Monthly article he linked a couple days ago.

still waiting on an instance where a ref was fired for making a game-changing call against UT's football team. this is a "fact" according to Frankie - so he should have many instances of this at his fingertips.

but i agree that folks like Christal with ties to certain schools shouldn't umpire that school's games. doesn't make sense.

how do you know the sun comes up?

i've seen the replays and the clock. if you are a conspiracy theorist around someone monkeying with the video/time clock - then i guess I can't convince you.

The big 12 is replacing the official who cost Okie State the game with the erroneous call and the replay official who took all of 6 seconds to look over at Dodds and ask him what to do.

The only requirements for the new officials are that they attended tu or at least have a t shirt and they can follow instructions well.
