If he's going to go all Richie Incognito on us I can do without him.
If he can get his emotions under control he'll be a good one.

There is a big difference between missing a call, like a hidden fumble just before going down, and a phantom call. The grab by Windsor was so benign, and so rarely called even when it's meaningful to the play, that I place it in the phantom category.
When taken in context with other things that happened during the game (especially blatant non-called MSU OL holds, on big plays no less), and (allegedly) where these officials reside, in my mind it confirms corruption.
The long term effect is that it will have our players afraid to be aggressive. That's how we'll get pacified in this league.

Lol...Windsor held him. But if it’ll help you sleep better at night to claim it’s corruption, go for it.
That was my take too. It looked like either a late shove or refusal to get up after the play by the MSU player and CJ retaliated with a shove. As is usually the case, the retaliation is what got called. It's not always right, but that's usually what happens and we have to be more disciplined than that.
The replays weren't great, I thought I saw a shove to the helmet of the MSU player but given the replay quality what I saw was hardly conclusive. But anything that can be construed as such in that situation is just dumb, undisciplined football. You can't give the refs the opportunity to make that call in that situation.
BTW, congrats on keeping the Crew in town. The end result seems to have worked out for both Austin and Columbus.
I don't know what they showed on TV, but at the game, they showed the replay many times and it definately was backwayds, by at least 5 yards. A backwards pass is a lateral and therefore should have been rulled a fumble.
he punched him square in the ****ing facemask and should have been ejected ... utter ****ing bullshit scumbag shit it was highlighted on our local news last night
Because they called a hold when a PSU player held? Or because they correctly called the incomplete pass? Or because they threw a flag when a PSU player punched someone?
Or all of the above?
Yeah your right MSU played a flawless game no holding, cheap shots, and PSU just happened to make critical mistakes on 3rd down. Please tell what Robert Windsor did on the holding play that took all of 3 seconds .

He grabbed his jersey (but that doesn’t align with the “grand conspiracy” of that officiating crew)...
It absolutely went backwards; at least 2 yards. I was in the stands and it was on our side of the field. Also, the replay on the Jumbotron showed it very clearly.
That "hold" in your photo looks like it could not have done much given Windsor's relative position. You are not stopping a 300+ LB B1G 10 OL with that kind of grip. Or else the OL took a dive.
Note that it began as they were engaged, but Windsor didn’t let go after the disengaged.
But, It doesn’t matter what it “did”. It stretched out the jersey enough, and right in front of the umpire unfortunately. Sure, there are plenty of holds every game that are missed, but this one happened in a spot where the umpire had a clear view of it. Sucks, but doesn’t make it a conspiracy against us.
2 yards .... 5 yards ...
I'd estimate is was between 0.5 and 1.5 yards
Definitely no where near 5 yards
