Funny how those always go one way, isn't it?

The deference given to big blue bloods is just jaw dropping at times. It's as if the refs are more worried about the backlash they'd receive from a large media supported fan base than just making the right call.

The OSU player should still be given a suspension.

He's too busy pimping UH to notice...
What am I supposed to say? I watched a good chunk of the game. Calls were missed on both sides. The refs called a bogus roughing the passer on OSU that resulted in a 15-yard Minny gain and a long INT being called back on a key drive for Minny. Jake on here mentioned how bad that call was, and how key it was in keeping Minny in the game. My position is refs miss calls occasionally. Sometimes big, important calls. It happens, they are human. I don't think there is a conspiracy with refs involved. People see what they want to see. I've NEVER heard TCU fans say, wow, the refs were on our side this game. Never. And do you honestly think we've never been the beneficiary of some questionable calls that helped determine outcomes of games? Really?
Would everyone be happier or would their opinion change if the conference didn't admit a mistake? The answer to that is no. So the fact that they did is irrelevant.

I've totally said that TCU has gotten better calls in games before. Just saying.
Yeah they totally missed the Ohio State targeting, it was a bad call. But it didn't matter. And to be fair, the roughing passer call may have technically been correct, just super ticky tack. Kind of like being able to call holding on every play. The targeting mistake was certainly more egregious, although significantly less impactful. The roughing passer call changed the game... would have basically been over at halftime if that call isn't made (IIRC)

Wouldn't have changed that game much, but one of Ohio States best players would have been out this week which would matter.

I think just about everyone saw the 2014 tackle on WVU's Clint Trickett and knew we got away with a major facemask. The 2017 WVU "offensive PI" towards the end of the game was pretty brutal too.
So basically, for whatever reason TCU > WVU on the ref preference hierarchy.

Not to mention the Boyce 2pt conversion "catch". It was close but I'm pretty sure ball hit ground without total control.

Yeah, in the 51-50 2005 game against BYU, we got a very favorable call from the refs when our player crossed the goal line and fumbled (simultaneously). If we get a questionable call, I'll usually admit it. Most fans are homers but not THAT homerish.

Ohio State fans are that homerish.

Reggie Smith proving that you can take the ref out of the Big 12 but you can't take the Big 12 out of the ref.

Didn’t watch this game so have no opinion in this particular matter but I am always more suspicious of calls under review than those that are non-reviewable.
I would be willing to bet that this guy has never seen the inside of a university classroom.hmmmm...now i see your point

High school and middle school are questionable as well.
