Exactly...I guess not knowing the ******* rule book would be detrimental to making the correct call on the field. Un****ingbelievable, this **** has to end.

Just talked to an official. Told me that onside kick offsides was "100 %" the right call. FYI. #Cyclones
I thought it was the right call to overrule it. He certainly didn't mean to throw it, but it came out of his hand during the throwing motion.

No it didn't, if it came out of his hand during the throwing motion, the ball would have went forwards. It "slipped" out of his hand when the motion was completed at the bottom, which is why the ball went straight down to the ground.I thought it was the right call to overrule it. He certainly didn't mean to throw it, but it came out of his hand during the throwing motion.
RG3 even thought it was a fumble...he immediately tried to recover the ball.
SOOOOO let me get this right?
If a bad call is made...and lets be nice by calling it a bad call, we could say that several calls were "Made Up"..but for the sake of argument lets say it was a blown call...that has no effect on the game?
Baylor fumbled 2ce, they actually didn't score once in the 1st quarter....RG3 "Tucks" the ball...which isn't a rule in college football....and fumbles inside the Red zone....we recover. Okay he was in the motion of throwing....but wait he wasn't outside the tackle box and no RB or WR was around.....that would be intentional grounding which is a 10 yard penalty and a loss of down making it 4th down and I believe 19 outside the Red Zone. But NEITHER of these were called....next play TD Baylor....they never fumbled again, they never were behind again.....the Refs took momentum from ISU's D and GAVE it to Baylors O...its called stealing...it effects more than just that touchdown...
when you have a problem fumbling its just as much physical as mental...and when they weren't scoring and were fumbling it was getting in their heads..it COULD HAVE changed the course of the game from a third loss of the ball.
The offsides call on the onside kick is the same theory...behind at that time by two touchdowns, we just had scored, we get the ball back and lets say for arguments sake we score another touchdown with say 5 minutes remaining....down only one score puts added pressure on their offense to produce, there defense isnt up by three scores, they are only up by 8, they lost to KSU and almost to TCU by blowing late 4th quarter leads, this starts creeping up in the back of their minds.....it could have TOTALLY WENT A DIFFERENT ROUTE...but we will never know cuz the Refs blew CALL AFTER CALL.
Dont tell me that you are 100% sure the officiating didn't cost us this game.
It is because it was a fumble and everyone knows it. That was a game changing call. That replay official took it upon himself to change the course of the game, and he should be fired for it.
Exactly...until people start losing there jobs **** isn't going to change. When you suck at your job you should be held accountable, that's the case in every other profession. But for some reason these guys are untouchable.
That official is WRONG.for you guys not on twitter Chris williams just tweeted this.

SECTION 1. Free Kicks
Restraining Lines
ARTICLE 1. For any free kick formation, the kicking team’s restraining line
shall be the yard line through the most forward point from which the ball shall
be kicked, and the receiving team’s restraining line shall be the yard line 10
yards beyond that point. Unless relocated by a penalty, the kicking team’s
restraining line on a kickoff shall be its 30-yard line, and for a free kick after a
safety, its 20-yard line.
Free Kick Formation
ARTICLE 2. A ball from a free kick formation must be kicked legally and from
some point on Team A’s restraining line (Exception: Rule 6-1-2-d) and on or
between the hash marks. The referee will declare the ball ready for play when
the officials are in position after the kicker has received the ball. After the ball
is ready for play and for any reason falls from the tee, Team A shall not kick
the ball and the official shall sound his whistle immediately. When the ball is
kicked (A.R. 6-1-2-I-IV):
a. Each Team A player, except the holder and kicker of a place kick, must be
behind the ball (A.R. 6-1-2-V) [S18].
b. All Team A players must be inbounds [S19].
c. At least four Team A players must be on each side of the kicker [S19].
d. After a safety, when a punt or drop kick is used, the ball may be kicked
from behind the kicking team’s restraining line. If a yardage penalty for a
live-ball foul is enforced from the previous spot, administration is from the
20-yard line, unless the kicking team’s restraining line has been relocated
by a previous penalty [S18 or appropriate signal].
e. All players of Team A must have been between the nine-yard marks after the
ready-for-play signal [S19].
f. A Team A player who goes out of bounds during a free kick down may not
return inbounds during the down (Exception: This does not apply to a Team
A player who is blocked out of bounds and attempts to return inbounds
immediately) [S19].
I think part of the reason these refs are untouchable is because of that rule where coaches automatically get a fine for calling out bad officiating. I think it is time that was lifted. I understand why it was put in place, but man officiating sure has taken a turn for the worst since then. There should be no reason coaches can't call out the refs when appropriate...they are on the field and in the booths too. Hell...fine the coaches if it turns out they were wrong.
Last week was pathetic. Our fans behaved like morons.
Tonight there were 2 huge/horrible calls made.
