Fans are getting sick of this nonsense. I can put up with players making mistakes and even coaches making bad calls, but a corrupt league that outright steals games is another thing. Going to start losing fans that are tired off being on the wrong end of this over and over.
JP Better Make Some Noise
- Thread starter sunset
- Start date
We'll pay the fine, Jamie. Go for it.
No, Campbell would not like that. Behind the scenes maybe, but nothing public.
I 100% agree. I am sick and tired of campbell not saying anything during the press conferences. Someone needs to take a stand aginst this garbage
Agreed 110%. This kind of **** happens way too often to Iowa State. It's time to call these crooked ******** out. Put them on blast.
It has an impact on programs. Give us this travesty and the OSU game and we're in the title game next week.
Yes, he better say something about this. Picking up a flag on an obvious PI is horrid.
It would also help if the pos rag didn't come out with a headline of "defensive collapse and questionable call doomed Iowa state" (just one Peterson?). Austin paper would have gone nuclear of this bs happened to UT (yeah right, that will ever happen.....).
I get Campbell’s stance and I think you see what they say tomorrow but without serious actions by the league you have to go public.
With all due respect, we pay Matt Campbell’s paycheck and he hasn’t been a diehard Cyclone fan since the day he was born, so I don’t really care what he thinks. He knows we are a fiery, passionate fan base, that’s what he loves about us. If nothing else, he should be happy we raise hell like we do so he doesn’t have to.
Campbell preaches responsibility and accountability. He should hold the refs accountable for their mistakes. Coaches make bad calls, they get fired. Refs have jobs too and should be no different. But I am getting sick of always being on he wrong end of all of these conveniently game deciding calls against Iowa State. All that said, I’m not leaving this fan base until I’m buried six feet under.
This is more on the refs as people than the Big 12.
If the Big 12 was really out against us personally why on earth did they "let us" beat OU and TCU in close games? I think that this ref just personally sucked.

I want the coach being quiet and helping the players fight through this and get better. I want the AD to get on the phone with the conference commissioner and demanding action against ******** referees like that.
I’m going to be a Cyclone fan til the day I die, so they’re not losing me.
Otherwise, I agree that this should not be dealt with quietly.

There is nothing JP can do. Shouting at the big 12 administration is not going to change the way an individual ref behaves in a game. I think ISU coaches need to start working the Refs like the others.
Yeah, they were obviously all in Manhattan today.
Incompetent is one thing, this so obviously goes way beyond incompetence that it has to be addressed. Sitting around hoping that the league does the right thing isn't going to fix the problem.
If they stand mute then they've told me nothing can be done and we can continue to expect regular screw jobs. I've had enough of those over 25 years of being a fan, i can't stick around knowing they'll continue indefinitely.
I’ve been an Iowa State fan for 30 years and will be till I die, but this one was the worst consistent screw job I’ve ever seen. Hope we don’t sit quite about this one.
Here's the deal. They have a stat for a stat I swear. How many times has an official picked up a flag that went AGAINST one team that many times? Never that many. If Pollard sits back and seems to be okay with this I'll be extremely dissappointed. It's time the refs are held accountable. Coaches lose their jobs based on performance, they should too.
