Officiating

[MajesticII]

It is ridiculous... Roach gets flagged last week for a weak hit on QB and this week Tech's Bowman gets driven into the ground with one of the hardest hits and NO CALL !!!! I thought you couldn't drive a QB into the turf like that anymore with excessive force. That was an old school bury your *** hit. It should have been flagged compared to some of the crap they flag these days. That was the same crewmen who have screwed us over in several games this past decade. They did a number on Tech last night letting Bowman get hurt like that and not throw a flag. Even in high school they let some players break the rules. Dion Sanders' son was wearing several chains around his neck in a high school game on ESPN a couple weeks ago. That is against NFHS rules, yet they let him get away with it. That is a safety issue. Fingers can get torn off if caught on a chain, necks can get severely lacerated. What is up with officiating these days ??? Rules are rules and they should be applied consistently and fairly...Are they cheating and giving preferential treatment to individuals and teams, or are they just that incompetent ? I think its a little of both. Done with the soapbox for now.

Obvious preferential treatment by officials all but ruined the NBA for me. It ruins the game even the times when it’s my own guy (such as Olajuwon) getting the non-call or drawing the ticky tacky foul they never call unless it’s someone fouling a “star” player.

Refs in college football will make mistakes, but they MUST play it straight and not favor teams or players.

Anyone remember Grant Teaff’s last game against UT? We had a mediocre team that year, but the refs repeatedly handed the game to Baylor on very obvious one-sided bad calls. I never saw a worse or more obvious example of partial refereeing.

Rice had like 1 penalty. Held like crazy on several plays, but they aren't calling a penalty on Rice. Didn't matter. Sam carved them up like Thanksgiving turkey.

And how many officials does it take to figure out a fumble v an incomplete pass? Apparently all of them. Not one whistle. Not one signal of an incomplete pass. Whether they got the call right or wrong is not the point. They all stood there until one finally announced that it was a touchdown was under review. Pitiful.

SWC flashbacks.

That actually is a good idea. That way if it is actually a fumble you don't penalize the team recovering the ball. I hate the horrible officiating that costs teams games..No calls on obvious PI, letting targeting and roughing go when it should be called, letting one team hold like crazy but flagging the other for the slightest holding. The old "letting them play" BS when one team lives and dies by the pass and the other is a running team or is balanced. The later has a huge advantage with that crap. Its either PI or it isn't...shouldn't vary from game to game.

That clown was given a lot of calls almost his entire time at Baylor. Didn't like that guy

In the 90s i dated a gal that was a walk on softball player for BU in the early to mid 80s, started at 3rd base. Third generation Baylor student. Cut to the story, a "chore" for softball players was to wash Teaffs car on weekends. My gf paid her way 100%, thus didn't have to do that chore. She fell out of favor with her coach in her junior year, was told to wash Teaffs caddy , and said no. Was pressured to quit.

Her kids went to Texas, SMU, and Centenary... She graduated from BU but basically doesn't have anything to do with her alma mater.
