Any chance we can hire refs from another conference for The Game? They've been horrible all year, it feels slanted against us but I think this is incompetence instead of a vendetta.

Maybe we could ask for the Duke - Miami refs
It's all over college football this year

When you roll a 7, you get to move the robber, which blocks resource production on its hex, and rob one resource from another player. The random number generator on this particular website would regularly give me two, maybe three sevens a game. The other two players? Maybe 10 or 12 between them.
I might have let it slide but for it happening over and over and OVER. At some point, the pattern of one-sided deep dicking is incontrovertible.
Sadly, Harbaugh can't ragequit to get away from reffing incompetence.

yeah, that's why I stopped playing Settlers period - the variance of the tile placement and the dice makes it quite irritating for me.
November 21st, 2015 at 3:54 PM ^
Third pick again? Guess it's time for one good brick hex, wedged against the edge of the island so I have no hope of placing a settlement on it!

It honestly seems that outside of "legit" calls, the questionable calls are going against Michigan 9 out of 10 times this year. I really hate stopping the game a lot for replays, but what other avenue is there other than let the refs keep destroying games and just issuing apologies the next day? The games are still fucked. It's not even really a band-aid fix.
As much as I hate to think the 2nd best tier of professionals in the country let grudges play out in their job, it seems that is the case and Harbaugh isn't well liked around the league. Maybe it's rooted in a jealousy of knowing deep down that Harbaugh knows the rules better than they do and they can't allow themselves to admit that.

I lost my voice due to these refs. Seriously have no idea how you can be so inconsistent and call things so one-sided. My wife says Harbaugh is always yelling when I'm yelling.

I hate seeing any player ejected for targetting because I tend to err on the players' side on all things and it's hard for me to attribute premeditated assault on super-athletic 19 year olds running at full speed. But if targeting is targeting is targeting, Anthony Zettel (who I'm sure is a really nice kid IRL) LEFT HIS FEET to vertically spear Rudock helmet to helmet.
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOT CALL THAT?
Oh right, it happened to us. The referees can line up an slurp on my salty yellow taint.
November 21st, 2015 at 3:51 PM ^
Even with Zettel (inexplicably, unjustifyably) in the game, we put up 28 on PSU and gave up 16.
The defense did not die over the last two weeks! We are pretty ok at football!

Asian?
November 22nd, 2015 at 7:50 AM ^
yup, but you'll forgive me if I opt not to post pics of my taint as proof.

Hope Harbaugh turns up the heat in his post game presser. It's been across all conferences this year.
November 21st, 2015 at 3:53 PM ^
Can someone create a targeting mashup starting with Joe Bolden on Connor Cook and then the half dozen times Rudock has been hit in the helmet since?
November 21st, 2015 at 4:00 PM ^
I don't know why, but I see next week's game hinging on who for Michigan gets thrown out of the game early for targeting on a play where he doesn't get a finger on the QB, and the Ohio players repeatedly launching themselves like missiles into Rudock with any errant flags picked up off the turf with all apologies.

This one on the game winning TD reception by UNC over VT.
Down three in OT, UNC throws a pass to the sideline in the endzone that is very reasonably called a TD on the field as the UNC receiver hangs onto the ball after hitting the ground out-of-bounds in the endzone.
But then it goes to the replay booth. It clearly shows the UNC player bobbling the ball until he hits the ground OUT OF BOUNDS. INCOMPLETE! But the replay booth makes a hasty call stands ruling.
Better replay officials are clearly needed.

Consistently bad! If you read other pages (RCMB and Front Row) some people called homers out there think that the calls generally go our way. I don't know what they've been watching this season but I beg to differ. Todays game was no exception. A few bad calls against us and missed calls both ways. It didn't help that we earned about ten of our 13 penalties and we won't beat a team like Ohio State by taking ten penalties on our own.
I try to remember that these officials do this as a second job and with so many teams in the FBS, you spread the talent pretty thin.

they actually called PI on the pass to Chesson on our last TD drive.
November 21st, 2015 at 5:03 PM ^
so time to keep the flags clean for next week.
November 21st, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
Rudock is a ghost who doesn't show up on film, so there's never any evidence of targeting. FACT!

What I want to know is how much the B1G refs have made this year on their Fanduel accounts with the games they have rigged?
