The Lions' Pride

Robo, you are most respectful Buckeye fan I know and I respect what you have said about this is a great conference for PSU based on geography and history. It does make sense, but that same history makes one pause, OSU and UM have dominated this conference I would agree big ten officiating sucks, there seems to be no responsibility for bad officiating nor seemingly biased calls by some officials. The Big is not interested in transparency in what they do with regard to officiating. Right now PSU is a black mark in their minds, they almost tossed us out. Thankfully some members stood up to the mob and saved our skin. I do not think leaving the conference would help, I like the match ups with big for all sports.

However, I am frustrated with the perception of poor officiating at PSU games, I do not watch many other games due to my family commitments and time difference. I also will take exception to the comment this call was the only one that cost us a game, the phantom holding call in the OSU game changed the momentum, it certainly changed the game. In both games PSU left points on the field, but games come down to a few moments when momentum shifts and how one reacts to it determines whether one wins or loses. Vs UN, the two quick TD's shifted momentum to UN, PSU came back and scored a FG and gave up a TD, they responded with a clear TD, the momentum shifted again and it would not come back due to time left in the game. Officiating can change and at times can result in a loss. IMO it did last night and helped OSU. Am unsure there is a conspiracy or what but is sucks for these kids.

First MSU gets screwed, now PSU... and it all revolves around Nebraska. Not fishy at all

that was 30 years ago, LOL. Get out of here.

I assume your red koolaid tastes bitter considering that your team needs the zebras to pull out a win for the last 2 weeks.

"A win without honor is an unseasoned dish"

Gee, I really wish I cared about the opinion of someone entitled "Shane Doggy."

fair enough that is your opinion

In which case, can't wait for PSU to get a Nebraska TD called back with a few minutes remaining in the 4th, and see all the NU fans cry over "what could've been."

Karma? You bitching about a call in the 80s? You got your revenge when the national pollsters felt sorry for Tom Osborne's failures of winning a national title in 1994. Bad calls happen. Bad calls that totally change the complexion of a game don't happen all the time. Nebraska has seem their fair share of them, but yet you benefitted from two incredibly bad calls back to back weekends?

I have absolutely no problem and actually agree 1000% (Yes, I know 1,000) that PSU got screwed, and pretty hard. The one thing I can't agree with is automatically giving you the win because of it. Who knows what happens? I just can't see giving you the win with that much time left on the clock. It changes the game, but you cannot rationally say, It becomes a W.

All that one can logically say is that the game becomes a lot more interesting down the stretch.

Thanks, Josh...very classy post. However, we had other opportunities to win the game and didn't take advantage. Best of luck the rest of the year!
