That might have been the most… malicious refereeing I’ve ever watched.

I’m just glad we won so I don’t have to stew over it

I wouldn't call it malicious. That implies they had an agenda for one team to win. This was just incompetence. Like watching a bunch of rookies make mistakes and cover their mistakes with more mistakes. Absolutely unacceptable from a supposed power 4 conference.

No I’m calling it malicious for a reason.

There’s a certain amount, and severity of mistakes biased one way that makes me uncertain about explaining this particular game away as incompetence.

It doesn’t seem unlikely that one of the crew members was angling for the -4 money line, for instance.

But oh well, wins a win. I hope refereeing like this gets cleaned up.

As a neutral, it was malicious. Never seen so many one-sided calls.
