Here's for people who cry about officiating, nimrod!
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP)—The Southeastern Conference has suspended officials from last weekend’s Arkansas-Florida game after the crew was involved in its second controversial call of the year.
Referee Marc Curles’ crew called a personal foul on Arkansas defensive lineman Malcolm Sheppard in the fou ...[text shortened]... football crew like this.
So it was just me whining? I rest my case and Arkansas was robbed!
All the conferences have suspended their officials for blown calls many times in the past.. why make it public this time? Pressure because Florida is number 1? Making it public has never been done before in the SEC.
Resentment against Florida must run very high.
Maybe Arkansas should go back to playing the teams like UT, OU, TT, etc.... where they had much better luck! Was it BIG 12 then, or Southwestern Conf? Whateveh~

Originally posted by SmookiePPerhaps not. We'll never know. Without the fake pass interference and personal foul Florida does not make those extra 30 yards and the field goal would have been much harder. I have no beef against FL, just against officials injecting their wrong calls into an outcome. They review everything else. For the world I don't understand why they don't review judgment calls.

Look for another tight game between USC and the Beavers; in fact, this one might be an upset again. The biggest offensive issue with the Beavers has been in retooling the OL but they've quietly been improving it week to week.
If that's truly the case and their defense shows up this could be an upset. I'm tempted to call that but I really think USC is going to squeak by and I do have some selfish reasons for wanting them to win, because I want a 5-1 USC and Oregon, and Game Day, in Eugene next Saturday. 😀

Originally posted by BadwaterI strongly feel Oregon will win! USC is not only overrated but their monstrous egos actually believe they are better than they are. No team loses to lowly Washington and call themselves top ten. At least Oregon's one loss is against an overrated yet top ten team.!

What does everyone think of the OSU vs Minnosotta game? For some inexplicable reason, OSU is favored by 18 points. 18 points? How are they going to score 18 points? If it is by the defense and/or special teams then ok. However, if they expect fumbling bumbling TP to score 18 points, then forget it!! At most, the OSU offense is good for a touchdown or two per game against a moderatly good defense. Of course, when scoring touchdowns, they never have sustained drives, rather, it usually is a quick strike or two down the field. This causes the defense to be on the field all day which has shown signs of cracking last game against Purdue. Who could blame them? I have no doubt that TP will turn the ball over, it is only a matter of how and how often. In addition, I think if TP has few turnovers, OSU has a chance to win because the team is overall much more talented. However, TP is the deciding factor, as he was last time, in terms of throwing the game away. What makes matters worse, is to have TP continue to be defended by a line that has never been right since Tressel took over this team. Yep, I think it is going to be a long season for OSU, if not for the next two years.

Originally posted by whodeyThe spread reflects how bad Minnessota is not how good OSU is. TP cannot bumble every game. After all they were credible against USC and poor morale has brought them down, not lack of talent. Tressel is a bad excuse for a coach. He needs to decide whether starting TP's backup is in order. OSU should win by more than 18!

Usually the back up comes in when the game is a blow out. In fact, he could have put one in during the Toledo game, in which TP turned the ball over, or against Indiana, in which TP turned the ball over. However, Tressel is trying to get TP up to snuff much in the same way you would put a back up in the game to get up to snuff if called upon so I think he feels that there is no time to groom a back up. The only problem is, is that TP gets worse the more you play him, not better.

Originally posted by whodeyYou have a point. TP is not a true QB. He's more like a wildcate QB or perhaps an option QB. He is not passer. At least other coaches change because they see the need for self preservation. As you posted before, when you select players to play keep away from other colleges you end up with a square peg for a round hole. Evil Leach at Texas Tech at least selects QB's only on the basis of fitting his system. That's how you become succesful as a coach. Tressel is a petty little dictator!

Originally posted by whodeySee? I told you so. The spread was the right one. TP settled down and played lights out after a shaky start. Too little too late perhaps but a credible effort nonetheless. Now if only no1marauder would come back for egg in his face lumps. he's been away for a while. Bama almost coughed it up against an unranked team. Will this be reflected in the polls? Florida had a tougher game than the score reflects. Texas finally looked like a highly ranked team should look. Officiating was much better after the suspensions of those SEC bozos.

Originally posted by scacchipazzoIf you watched the game, you would have seen my predictions coming true at half time. The score was 7-0 in favor of OSU and they looked simply dreadful. However, I did not realize that Minnisota was so pathetic. They are truly the most anemic team I have seen this year.

Having said that, I still feel pretty much the same about TP. He turned the ball over like I predicted against an anemic defense. He did play better than last game, but I get the feeling that this was as good as he can play. I just wonder if one or more turn overs is acceptable per game? That is what he is averaging.

Originally posted by scacchipazzoDon't be so hard on coach Tressel. After all, he has won pretty much every Big Ten title since he arrived and won one NCG and been to a total of three NCG's. In addition, he is a class act and a very nice man.

Having said that, it just is aggravating to watch his teams continuously struggle offensively. I am in no way calling for his head, I just wish he would change a few things is all.

Originally posted by whodeyYou're fonder of Mr. Choke specialist than I've ever been, although I do admire how he dealt with that a..hole running back a few years back. He is not the best coach in the big ten, though. Iowa's and Mich St are really, really good coaches. BTW, I did watch the game and as supected the spread had more to do with Minn than OSU.

Originally posted by scacchipazzoHow can you say Tressel is not the best coach in the Big Ten? After all, he has dominated as I said before. I suppose the closest to him is Joe Pa, but he has won the Big Ten more often that Joe Pa since he came to the Big Ten. How can you determine who is better by any other factor than wins and losses?
