Haven’t you been banned like 4 times?
February 18th, 2018 at 3:54 PM ^
Trying to set the record I guess
February 18th, 2018 at 3:57 PM ^
Don’t mind me nigga
February 18th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
Do us all a favor and pull your lip over your head and swallow.
February 18th, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^
I'd sacrifice points to see that.
February 18th, 2018 at 4:15 PM ^
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the consensus is that this dbag is WD?
February 18th, 2018 at 4:42 PM ^
But he’s working through them. This guy has a high grade issues that are probably not resolvable.
February 18th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Good ol' Walter Mathaeu
February 18th, 2018 at 4:14 PM ^
Can't you find a nice sinkhole to step in?
February 18th, 2018 at 3:17 PM ^
I'm not in the loop on this one...

I'd drag my wee through a mile of glass shards just to punch him in the face.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
Worst official in the NFL and College Basketball.. yet he gets the most and best work. Fuck that guy. He’s just terrible.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:22 PM ^
Wtf happened at the end of the game? Poole was dribbling it out, like every basketball game and the idiot refs runs in and calls travel. Then somehow michigan inbounds it. Had we called a timeout just before to sub?
February 18th, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
I think Beilein called a timeout to get MAAR his standing ovation on senior day, but the far red didn't know that and saw what he thought was a travel.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:30 PM ^
Just means substitutions
February 18th, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
It was weird though. He did the traveling motion for a legit 10 seconds and got right up in Poole’s face to do it.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:38 PM ^
He got in Poole’s face for an extended period of time doing the travel signal. So weird.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:50 PM ^
That traveling motion means a substitution time out. It was Beilein getting MAAR off the court without taking the time to huddle up
February 18th, 2018 at 3:58 PM ^
Yes—it’s just a way to get a deserved ovation for MAAR without the timeout delaying the game and being used for unnecessary strategy at that point.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
I saw that too and got super confused. I was yelling at my phone like “who travels in that situation dammit just win the game” and then we got the ball back haha
February 18th, 2018 at 4:04 PM ^
He wasn't signaling for a travel, it was the motion for substitutions. The reason he kept doing it was because the timeout was not for real strategic purposes, JB just wanted to get MAAR out of the game. The ref knew this and wanted to stop the two teams from going to their benches and huddling up, hence the continuous and emphatic motion.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:22 PM ^
Did people think the officiating was that bad? Big miss on the Poole drive, late in the game Wagner basically shoved a guy out of bounds and didn't get called. They had two guys foul out. Seemed like they let them play.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
I just hate Gene Steratore
February 18th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
Yeah gene my boy but i gots to admit he a total clown homie
February 18th, 2018 at 4:10 PM ^
Dude. Shut up.
February 18th, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
Not sure if you're mocking black folks by trying to sound like a stereotypical African-American or not but you sincerely need to chill the fuck out.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
The officiating was terrible. Gene Steratore should never ref another one of our games.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
no, I thought it was fine. they were calling the pushoffs which is good. I have how much ballhandlers can get away with.
there was a play late i n the game where I thought we drew a charge and it wasn't called, but there were bad calls both ways.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:32 PM ^
About 6 push offs were called. About 20 were not. I've never seen so much pushing by a team. Does OSU do that every game?
February 18th, 2018 at 3:38 PM ^
That dude has been doing it for 4 years. I'm so glad thats the last time I have to watch him play.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
A vacuum on the glass and crafty around the rim... adios!!
February 18th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
Kinda wondered the same thing. The way guys were really playing up the push offs I thought maybe they saw something on film.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
But that doesn't make it better. There were horrible calls and missed calls both ways. Wesson posted up and strapped Wagner's arm down like a seatbelt for several seconds before the ball got to him and Wagner got whistled for a reach in. As a former water polo player, thats a strong, smart play from an offensive center. In basketball, it's getting away with murder.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:29 PM ^
With subsequent 3 by OSU was the only really egregious bad call to me. In general, this board just hates all refs against Michigan. Gets pretty annoying in game threads
February 18th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
College refs are generally terrible and really impact the viewing experience. We shouldnt have to just accept it
February 18th, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
NBA refs are bad too. Basketball is a difficult game to ref.
February 18th, 2018 at 4:00 PM ^
I think basketball is really hard to officiate, but good God. Letting Tate, Bates-Diop and the big guy inside push off, hook and travel their way to the basket most of the time is frustrating. I don't know what was a violation. A touch foul is called, and then Tate runs over Poole and MAAR and gets an and one. They also were literally blocking people on screens. Holtmann has them playing hard, but they definitely were allowed to gain an advantage in physicality. The biggest load of crock is when Michigan has a 7-2 foul advantage that magically disappears. I was also upset when they wrongly overturned an out of bounds play that gave the Bucks a 3 pointer. Also, in the refs eyes, Bates-Diop can do no wrong. You don't have to be in the NBA to get star calls.
February 18th, 2018 at 4:27 PM ^
I am not a Steratore fan for basketball. I don't watch much pro football so he doesn't bother me there.
Big East officials in general are much better than B10 officials. They allow more physical play but will call things that should be called. There is much better flow in the games.
They also don't stop the game for several minutes to give a team with 1 timout a freebie. I don't care if it was to review the clock, the shouldn't have had the extended stoppage there. Steratore is becoming famous for his stoppages to look at replay. This isn't the NFL!
February 19th, 2018 at 6:24 AM ^
I echo this comment, in spades. It is RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
Refs are horrible, and game assignments seem to be made on politics and cronyism rather than competence, but, who do you select? They all seem to be incompetent.
They are high school refs who kissed somebody's behind in order to become a college ref.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:54 PM ^
I’d argue some fans don’t know the game or just want to be “The Non Ref Hating Guy” how about the 3-4 chicken wing hooks OSU center used on Mo. Or maybe the time KBD ran through 2 Michigan defenders and some how the 2nd UM defender got called for the block. Maybe the time Teske went straight up for the ball and got called for a foul??? Any more you need?
February 18th, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
How about when Matthews maintained perfect position on Tate, blocked his predictable shot, and got called for a foul. Or Wagner holding his position. Or Wagner somehow fouling an elbow with his face. The Big 10 administration and officiating are complete clown show jokes.
February 18th, 2018 at 3:38 PM ^
either they called everything or they called nothing. MAAR jumped straight up, the buckeye jumped into him and MAAR got the fout. just one example
February 18th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
The 3rd on Mo where Wesson grabbed his arm and dragged him around for 3 steps...then a foul on Mo
And the last one on MAAR where Tate pushed him in the face, then kept a hand extended in his chest...foul on MAAR.
We’re terrible. And Steratore was watching those intently if you watch the replays.
The last one on Mo giving Tate an and one was awful too.
But overall, just kind of bad both ways.
