Harbaugh's ranting / UM fine

[22Horn]

For Harbaugh's incestant ranting about 7-8 calls, especially focused on the last ball spot (looked good from my seat- nothing seen that could have reversed it), UM gets a $10,000.00 fine and he receives a pubic reprimand from Big 10. Seems he is always complaining unless he is the benefactor;
yes, many coaches debate calls but he and a few others carry it a bit too far.

Maybe, he should have been addressing the team for not getting a crucial stop on earlier downs. Of course it would not have come to a critical 'ball spot' if OHSt's kicker would not have missed 2 chip shots.

Based on his salary of app $9mil / year, $10,000, he should have personally received a much larger fine and UM's fine should have been heavier.

These slaps on the wrist will get very little attention.

$9M/365 days/24 hours/60 minutes=$17 per minute

Every second that guy lives, nearly 30 cents shows up in his pocket. EVERY second.

So he had this fine all cleared up in like 10 hours. That'll learn him!

Watching it when it happened and on various replays, I never saw the ball get to the the spot. It appeared he was turned sideways, so I think Harbaugh had a legitimate complaint. Of course, I wanted Michigan to win, only because the lesser of evils, and not by much.

That said, the overzealous protection of the officials is out of hand. Walt Anderson took away our blackball system. Can you imagine DKR's record if he hadn't been able to blackball Marvin Durenberger? Every play over three yards gets called bacl for holding?

Coaches are held accountable; why not officials? Did anyone read anywhere that the review official for the Baylor game was fired the following week? Why us any Donnie Duncan hire still in the Big XII office? ZERO accountability.

Yes. We do agree on this one, Mr Horn. Was an official fired after the BU game? If so, what for?

 

[SabreHorn]

The replay official was fired. That was the game where have the time was spent on the replay official. Cooper Castleberry is our second best referee after Mike Defee, but Cooper is saddled with an incompetent crew, including the replay official, who must have been a recent graduate of The Texas School for the Blind. Not since the Percy Penn debacle (against Baylor I believe) with a flag or two on every play, have I wasted so much time at a football game.

Heard about a Tennessee Coach once given a guaranteed lifetime contract after a National Championship. A couple of seasons later he went 5-5-1 and the Tennessee Legislature declared him legally dead.
