Was the TX game the same one where they cheap shot/clipped one of our guys just standing in the end zone? The cocked off and Mack Brown didn't care.
Then the B12 midweek later said that's not acceptable?

Yep, my thoughts at the time were that this was a going-away present to Bill Snyder from the B12. No way were they going to let him lose his last game at his own stadium. Then, like you said, he came back and coached another year anyway.
I may be wrong, but I think they called the Jeremiah George one down by contact, not forward progress, which is what made it even worse.
Ruling on the field was "down by contact." Replay said it stood, didn't have enough to overturn.
Then on 2nd down, the runner fumbled again and was able to take the ball away from two defenders.
Shouldn't have even gotten that far, though -- before the two fumbles, Texas had 3rd-and-8 from the 11, and Richardson got called for a PI (which it was, but didn't have to be) in the end zone that gave UT 1st-and-goal.
There are so many. The picked up flag at kansas st, the non call on the charge vs kansas in Hilton and then they call a foul on niang as the ku guy is rolling on top him.
There is one that really sticks out for me though. I think this is the worst call I've seen in any sport on any level. The game in the phog when one of our players was got fouled and was shooting 2 free throws. I can't remember which player it was but he shot the first free throw and missed. Everyone was standing around because he had another free throw but one kansas player rebounded the ball and went down and hit a 3. Everyone was dumbfounded because we had another free throw. The refs huddle together and say ISU has another free throw but they can't take the KU 3 pointer off the board so they counted it and gave us our 2nd free throw and then gave Ku the ball. I was stunned. If I was coach I would have left in handcuffs.

There was also a foul on Withey towards the end of regulation that would have been his 5th but they gave to a guy 10 ft away from the play. IIRC Withey wrapped a player up to try to foul but they gave it to a guy trailing the play.
The one that was reviewable and made correctly?
Yeah, shouldn’t have been changed. Nothing there was enough to overturn the call on the field.
I know everyone hates Iowa, but there is a reason it has been talked about nationwide as a horrible call.
He waved his arms so they called it as it should be.
Nationally, people were over it the next day. It was the last headline in ESPN’s ticker that evening and bumped the next morning.
It’s not really a national story, because Iowa isn’t a serious contender for CFP, B10, or even top 25. Seems only the local guys can’t let it go.
And ironically he lost in a very un-Bill Snyder like way to go out a year later in Ames.
ISU was all but dead until Rose returned a botched ball for a TD.
There was also some precarious non calls...ISU could have been called for PI on one play late.
The 2005 debacle of officiating in Lawrence still haunts me. There was a TD that Iowa State scored that got reviewed and overturned to no TD without conclusive evidence, as well as a 4th down stop for ISU that got reviewed and called a 1st down, where eventually KU scored, all in the 4th quarter I believe. Game goes to OT, where of course we miss a FG and lose by 3.
It was talked about nationwide as a horrible call by people who didn’t take the time to understand the rule. You can’t advance a punt after making a motion like that (Peter/Poison). They should’ve whistled it dead as soon as he picked up the ball. Catching it while reviewing something else was well within their authority also. It just made it even more painful for the Hawkeyes.
Aaron Rodgers, Pat McAfee and those guys who spent years in the NFL don't know football rules?
Let's cut the *****, there are only 2 fanbases that think it was a good call. One of the them has the biggest d-bag coach in college football and I wonder who the other is?
I saw even Chris Williams tweeting about.
