Michigan MSU officiating vs. Louisville national title game

Louisville was worse. The refs legitimately cost Michigan a national title.

It was incredibly one-sided. Not giving the 4th foul to Hancock alone won Louisville the game.

Not many people mentioning it because no one wants to watch the replay of the last play, but refs missed a personal foul on MSU for bowling over the long snapper before he got his head up.

How the hell is this NOT called. It is OBVIOUS and yes I am still pissed. Personal foul, 15 yards and automatic first down. Take a knee and we win. What in the hell were these officials watching? Clearly nothing! Our lopng snapper got blown up 5 yards off the ball as soon as he snapped it. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't really that bad. If I remember correctly Lewis got beat and pulled Burbridge down. Which sucked because Cook was staring down Shelton and wouldn't have thrown to Burbridge regardless.

So you may be right.

I think Lewis and the MSU receiver's feet got tangled and as they were both falling it looked like Lewis tackled him but it was pretty damn incidental.

Louisville was worse

These UM/MSU refs were arguably more incompetant from the beginning to the end of the game but the refs vs Louisville made absolutely horrid calls that costed us a national title. God I look back at that team and get pissed just thinking about us not winning that title. Luke fucking Hancock of all people...

GO BLUE!

this was one of the worst officiated sporting contests I've ever witnessed in person. I thought so sitting in the stands. Re-watching the game on TV and I'm even more appalled at just how poorly those men did their jobs yesterday.

the envy and hate for this unversity will not go away. Refs will always go out of their way to screw Michigan over. Only two things you can do. Get better and let the current and future players know that this is always going to be probable. If you always come to suspect it then the momentum doesn't swing so badly and it's not such a shock. It keeps your head on the next plays. Someone be the relay person here and get the message out in Ann Arbor! Damnit! When I come back in 2017 for the next game vs. State I want to them boys to be ready for everything bullshit.

Louisville was worse. That was a bigger game than this one and we played pretty great in it. This game we could have won if we had a semblance of an offense in the 4th quarter.

That was honestly the worst officiated basketball game I think I've ever seen, outside of some of the travesties in the NBA Finals that are the source of the biggest officiating conspiraciy theorys (LA-SAC, Dallas-Miama).
This was a terribly officiated college football game, but I've seen lots of terribly officaited college football games, and this wasn't appreciably worse than those. College football officials, in general, are not very good. But neither are NFL officials. For whatver reason, there is has not been a very concerted effort to make football officiating good at any level, so it continues to just suck at all levels.

It's possible to have a discussion about the failings of the referres--who were abysmal for BOTH sides--without trying to blame the loss on the officiating.
That game was horribly officated. Period. DId the officiating affect the outcome? No. Should we talk about how bad the refs were to demand higher standards moving forward? Yes.

Game's over, we lost. Deal with it.

Losing a NC against Louisville due to officiating is 100% worse than losing a conference game against Michigan's #3 rival.
Oh crap, I hope Dantonio doesn't read this!

We didn't lose yesterday because of the refs, we lost because we dropped a snap. We didn't lose to Louisville because of a bad call on a block. We were losing when Burke got called for a foul. We lost the national title because Luke Hancock hit a bunch of threes and we sat Burke a min or two too long.
