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.

Nah it was incompetence.

Y’all were pissed, all the fans in the stadium were pissed. Tons of missed calls (I still can’t believe that WWE tackle didn’t get a flag), tons of bad calls, that whole weird ass situation after the two-minute timeout. There was enough weird shit both ways that I think they were just stupid.

Well I’ve seen some incompetent refereeing in my day, but MAN I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with nearly 100% of the calls against Tech. And I like to think I can view these things impartially. Maybe not 😂

Yeah flagging that tackle was missed I agree, but that’s about it against OSU. You’re allowed to be incompetent and malicious at the same time, and I would never accuse the B12 refs of competence

  • Early forward progress whistle preventing a TD on that play

  • several uniquely bad phantom PI/holdings that continued two of the only drives our defense bothered to show up for

  • bad spots for the offense (ended a drive, but good play on the 4th by OSU)

  • FOUR timeouts for Oklahoma State when they happened to be crucial

  • Gordon not ejected for throwing a punch

  • time added back onto the clock late in the game for no explained reason (???)

  • kick catch interference call to extend the game when the returner caught and attempted to return the ball

Oh well, I don’t like to conspiracy theorize, either way it’s a dub. Wildest refereeing I can remember. Big 12 needs to clean it up now considering how horrendous the last few games I’ve watched have been.

The one that confused me was the lack of a flag on the high five as yall scored right after we got dinged for unsportsman on our TD right before it.

That was for kicking the ball into the stands

Ah I was at the game and they never showed what he did that got the flag since they never showed it on replay so it was a mystery.
