Let’s talk about the refs

[Spanky]

I guess most OU fans are "weak minded victims" in their view of ISU football as well:
"I found it humorous that on the review of Purdy's sneak at the end the ref "the call stands" instead of "confirmed". There wasn't any question it was a TD...just like the catch they blew earlier. What a horrible officiating crew"

That was the general theme of their posts, ISU got jobbed by the officials.

TCU fans also feel similar to the Oklahoma fans

As I have stated, we lost due to self-inflicted wounds (false starts, turnovers). But it does appear it is not just ISU fans that feel this way.

Oh wow, imagine that -- an Iowa fan shows up on the WSU Rivals board to s*** talk us, and even links back to here. Never seen their fanbase do something like that before.

Interesting 5 page thread on the ISU game from the Oklahoma board. Encouraging to see knowledgable, third party perspectives that align with ours.

This thread was really good reading. Very complimentary.

Notable posts I've seen so far in the thread:
Comment "Umm, catch, possession and down."
Response; "In this game, he has to take 9 steps"

TD ISU! Are they going for 2? Looks like it but first the refs have to figure out if they can somehow screw ISU out of the 6 points.

Other good quotes:

SoonernVolved: "Nope. They truly embody their coach and refuse to quit."

XingTheRubicon: "The color guy (McElroy) sounds like the guy that used to voluntarily help the grad asst grade papers"

Lot of other good ones.

FIFY.

Regarding the second targeting call, and maybe it's been mentioned before, but I have to wonder if Minshew's helmet had stayed on if targeting would have been called. It feels like one of those classic plays that looks more brutal and violent than it actually was.

It didn’t look violent or brutal at all.
