They ever id the source of the food poisoning?
This hasn't been an issue with ISU fans. I'm not sure why you're coming here and bringing it up. Congrats on the win. It was one of the most embarrassing losses for ISU in my 50 years as a fan.
You sure about that? There's been some hum dingers over the years.
I think this may legitimately be the first time I’ve ever heard someone use Big 12 refs as a reason the call must have been right.
If we eventually found out this was lakesbison, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.Nice first post.
Lol, cmon man. If our dumb coach would have opened things up like he did this week, ISU would have won by 14 minimum. He was too stubborn and took the L instead. A good offense would cook that Ohio team. An embarrassing loss.
That does nothing to vouch for their competence or even good faith performance of their jobs.
If the premise is wrong, the conclusion is wrong. I still contend the mere 'steps' of the official (even on the 'their' replay) will change the perspective of the ball. I think their pre-snap location rules should change to have them align from where the kick is (similar to punting). Let's look at this another way to make my point. It's the same science as in billiards. Do the rules compensate from the hashmarks vs the center of the field. They 'should' because the angle makes the difference between the posts smaller. College posts are commonly 5 9/16" diameter. Kicking from the hashmark, that takes (roughly) 2" off the 7" wide football. That's roughly 25% of the width. IMO, that's a lot. Certainly worth the simple rule change to align the refs.
That said, I'm surprised it's got to pass cleanly 'between' the uprights when the kick is higher than the upright. However, I'm not sure how they can set up the rule otherwise.
I’ve always felt it was no good.
And…. it wouldn’t have mattered anyway…. the better team won that day. We were awful and didn’t deserve to win.

So, some fool woke up today and said, "You know who wants to hear my own failed reading of someone's comments? Cyclone fans."
This thread should be a nice Monday treat.

Ohio fan I know you guys had your birthday and beat a big bad power 5 school last week. Congratulations. I hate to break it to you but noone here gives a shat about the fg. We played probably our worst game in a decade and whether the fg was good or not we all know we didn't deserve to win that game. We all talked about the fg for about 5 mins on Monday morning. Just gtfoh and be thankful a big 12 school for some reason agreed to come to Athens, ohio.
