Franklin just called out the officials
- Thread starter LionsandBear
- Start date
Thank you for posting.
For those who are usually like me and need hints, skip to the 2:50 mark and start watching. Reports describes the Friermuth play and asks James a question. Franklin's reaction is priceless.
She is going to hire an assistant AD in charge of officials.Maybe Sandy has a MASTER. PLAN.for dealing with the officials.
Start with defending yourself and your team when you have the microphone. Opportunity is now gone. Evidence is clear for all to see. There are people on this board that have compiled more than enough. Over the decades, you could do a 2 hr HBO documentary!
I don't have a problem with the No call here, but it is Offensive PI, and stacked with everything else it's more evidence.
The play that preceded this of course was worse, where they moved a fumble forward almost two yards for the first down.

I can see why the call was not made but if it were an nfl game, this year, I bet it would have been.
Sure PSU has benefited from bad but questionable calls in the past. I would love for once for PSU to get bad call after bad call go in their favor. But it seems whenever there is systematic bias it ALWAYS goes against PSU.
Whole-heartedly disagree. Read Davey Jones’ tweet from last night and watch his post game booth wrap up. Think about that - even Jones thinks we got jobbed!
I remember many similar issues under Joe's reign and after and IOWA OT loss at home, we were present, Joe CHASED the head official across the field to chastise him post game. It was a big deal and the first step to what we now have as replay.
So, we get replay, all is well. PSU challenges a play a game in the first season. Remarkably, EVERY play challenged changes in favor of PSU!!! A year passes, now replay is not used for this type play or penalty as so called judgement calls and those fouls are called more often avoiding replay. Now the spotlight is on replay even more and instead of making an excuse that replay is note working now (the only time in BT history this happened, for ONE PLAY) the officials in charge, our great UM alum friend who Joe chased is the replay expert. His minions have taken his place on the field and video evidence is now misinterpreted, avoided or ignored.
Joe voiced his complaints publicly after many years of reporting them to the conference failed to provide a remedy. This conference is corrupt systemically. There is no remedy within the conference. As someone above suggested a documentary should be developed to spotlight the numerous big game manipulations of the rule of play because this is much larger then just PSU and its fans. It's VEGAS and betting which Joe railed at too. Now big money is at stake. We need the FBI to investigate some Big 10 employees to see how their income varies from their tax returns as a way to open up this subject.
PSU will never be effective in reaching a remedy for this abuse. This must take the money trail and they is always a money trail to follow to smoke out the rats.

you are good with a reversal of a play that had zero evidence of the knee hitting the ground before the ball breaks the plane of the goal line?
Not only did that not happen but when the knee actually touches, the ball is completely and fully past the goal line. That’s far beyond breaking the plane.
I would like to see the video that shows this. And I’m not sure how anyone could be good with wiping out a TD where one existed
I don't agree. In this day in age all you need is to i.d. the perpetrator and then look for the evidence, real or imagined.
One way to look at this is that, when the ball is in the air, the receiver and defender are equivalent. That is, pass interference is the same for each. Now, if you didn't know which is which in the clip above, how would the play be called? If the Penn State player was the intended receiver, would this be PI on the Iowa defender?I don't have a problem with the No call here, but it is Offensive PI, and stacked with everything else it's more evidence.

Just shows you how extreme the situation is...Jones is a fighting acorn sack licker par excellence!
While Carl’s Post may seem comical to some. He is dead in correct and probably the only conceivable way to get things changed.
Sandy will go through the proper channels.Maybe Sandy has a MASTER. PLAN.
Do you seriously believe this? And what are the proper channels? Going to the Bug10 office? That is the source of the problem not the solution!
What say you if the Iowa receiver were the dB and Reid was the receiver? Good interception or pass interference?
I’m seeing pass interference all day long.
What I see is a receiver going over top of a DB. The DB has great coverage but does not locate the ball. This is the main problem for both Penn State corners.
There were several times where you are correct and PSU did not locate the ball. This time you are incorrect. You can clearly see him head turned and upward following the ball trajectory, arms extended to make the interception.
Receiver then uses his right hand on the defenders right shoulder to elevate himself over the back of the defender. It's slight, but it is a big deal and interference.
