I think the best part of making the playoff would be the non-B1G officiating
November 29th, 2016 at 7:28 PM ^
I wish this was coming more from national sources. Unfortunatly anything that comes from Michigan about that poorly officiated game just makes it sound like we are crybabies.
Which pisses me off because we have such a legitimate gripe.
November 29th, 2016 at 8:13 PM ^
It hasn't gone totally unnoticed in the national media...

Did you read the article? The author specifically says that he isn't going to address the officiating of the Game, and the article is, "not sour grapes about Michigan losing." He's addressing the Big Ten's disappointing lack of transparency, not griping about the refs blowing the Game for Michigan.

It's a good article - well written and thought out. I'm guessing you didn't read it?

Yeah but if you are very hungry and have not had a burger in a while...they taste fking wonderful and hit the spot.

Cry baby or not, the squeaky wheel gets the greese. We need to complain about the extremely poor officiating. Lets call it that: extremely poor officiating.

at the end are all legit...this is where the NCAA (if they weren't just some dirtball conglomerate raking in dough) should step in.

God I hope Harbaugh rams a winged helmet up Delaney's ass before all is said and done.

His retirement is going to be a day of celebration for me.
He must have gone to the same PR school that Dave Brandon attended. Is their anyway we can oust him?
Listen to the podcast on Mike Spath's show "Inside the Huddle" on WTKA website titled "102 Angelo Matera HS official" on 11/28. Excellent detailed critique on the reffing of The Game.

Interesting article. It failed to mention that one of the officials is from Michgian and his cover photo on Facebook is Lewis running in for a TD after the Northwestern Interception last year. He is also the official who called the spot of the ball. There are some comments made from his friends that are not very "Michigan Friendly" that he liked on his Facebook page as well.
Here's the Detroit News article with a few facts this article failed to mention.

That is good to know, and I don't think he should have been allowed to ref the game either.
November 29th, 2016 at 8:15 PM ^
Very interesting, especially that "like" at the bottom there.

Yes, took a screen shot just in case it's edited or deleted.
November 29th, 2016 at 8:45 PM ^
He also liked the comment "Was Harbaugh asking you how to teach reading?"
November 29th, 2016 at 8:54 PM ^
November 29th, 2016 at 7:47 PM ^
He owes me 3 dollars for losing a bet.

The only thing I hate more than Ohio State is Jim Delaney's ugly fuckin face

objective, to the point. What's really important is that it concerns all of college football; what a mess football would grow to be if the refs or persons in power could throw games on a regular basis. Funny how none of the OSU commenters had a positive thing to say about the article. The one guys said a ref from Michigan did the game, is that true?
November 29th, 2016 at 11:27 PM ^
Didn't the NBA have to deal with refs taking money? Why don't we make the Officials full time, like the gamecasters have talked about all season(if i remember correctly[possibly not who knows] Brock Huard had brought this up)?
Delaney = slime
oSU = SESea of the north

I want someone to be fired and I want reform so this doesn't happen again to any team. It shouldn't be difficult to have a vetting process in place. This crew should have worked a game from the other division. Policy was broken so someone fucked up.

...that if the shoe was on the other foot, if the game had been in AA, and if it had ended the same way, only with the teams/outcome reversed, and with two refs who were lifelong Michigan fans, there would be widespread bitching and moaning. Our win would have been overshadowed completely by the fallout.
But here? I guess no one but us gives a shit.
It ain't sour grapes, as the article points out. It's much more than that. This was shitty ON ITS FACE, way before the coin toss even happened.

Has there ever been such controversy when the game has been played in Ann Arbor. See, I can even capitalize the t and g anymore.
