Check out the final score.

The one missed call didn’t affect the outcome of the game.

The complaint is a non starter. The Buckeyes won the game. The refs didn’t do it for them.

btw, the general feeling is that the OSU- Clemson game will be close. I think that we will win it because that’s what this year’s Buckeyes do.  They win.
What I pointed out was that you called it good refereeing when a clear violation occurred during a touchdown play that was desperately needed by OSU to change momentum.

Did this influence the game?  Most certainly.

Would OSU likely to have won anyway?  Perhaps.

Do I agree with all the negative comments that appeared in that posted tweet of the play?  No I do not.

Did I make a complaint?  No, just a bad unfortunate non-call by the officials.

You really need to lighten up on the accusations.

I call it the way it is, and if one overlooks when the rules are broken, then what will the game become?

And BTW, I think OSU will beat Clemson and face LSU for the whole ball of wax.

Sweet thing is, after the Iron Bowl win... my season is complete... Go everyone !! Make close games for good viewing... I may even watch a couple of them.

I didn’t call it good reffing. I said it didn’t affect the outcome of the game.

And I didn’t accuse anyone of anything, so I don’t need to “lighten up.”

The team I’ve supported since birth is arguably the best team in college football and that makes me very happy. They’ve won two national championships in this century and if they play their best, may well win a third.

I’m excited about that possibility.

Oh..... and JK Dobbins was 6th in the Heisman voting, so if you count Joe Burrows who was a second string Buckeye, that’s 4 out of the top 6 who are from Ohio State.

I think that’s pretty cool!  :0001:
Character still matters.  It always matters.

your over exuberance for your team caused you to do a 'Schiff' if you reread your post #61.

I called you out on the missed call.

I called you out on the missed call.

Post 61 is not mine.

And in post 60, I just said that bad reffing didn’t cause the win. I didn’t say there were no bad calls.

Wrong on both counts.

But if you want to keep arguing, feel free.

Go Buckeyes! Beat Clemson!!  :beer:

If you do not believe the noncall was bad reffing, then you disagree even with what the fans of the Buckeyes say.

Wisconsin fans almost dropped their cheese when officials somehow missed — or ignored, conspiracy theorists? — Garrett Wilson’s blatant false start on OSU’s go-ahead touchdown pass. How do you miss that?

But you can go ahead and blindly support your team no matter what.  That is your prerogative.

I have no idea what you’re prattling on about.

You clearly haven’t read (or at least understood) a word I’ve said and want to argue with me about what I didn’t say.

More power to you.

If you want to clear up your confusion, go back and read the actual words I said and lose the attitude.

If not keep arguing with yourself, cause I’m through with this nonsense.

In either case, have a Merry Christmas.

No bad reffing or ‘fix’ caused the win. Just hard nosed football).

Never understood what you are talking about.  I complimented the Buckeyes and predict they will make it to Championship.

I did point out they got there in part due to an overlooked penalty by the officials.

Why you do not agree that the noncall did in fact help them and indeed state unequivocally there was no bad reffing is a mystery.  Even Buckeye nation threads agree it was flagrant and should have been called, especially during a touchdown play.

I'll chalk it up to an over exuberance fan who cannot believe it could have happened.  Some are indeed blind to the truth.

After watching today, I can only conclude that Ohio State, unquestionably inferior to the two tigers,  is the third best team in the US.

Kudos to them as I honestly believe they could beat Oklahoma.

They just can't seem to get by Clemson, which they are now 0-4 against.  Worst of any team.

SO proud of the Buckeyes!

An equal team to Clemson, but too many mistakes at critical times.

GREAT season........ and I think next year's may be even better.


(I also think LSU will blow out Clemson in the National Championship, as they would have Ohio State.  They are AWESOME).

Meanwhile, in the NFL, the playoffs begin Saturday.

And I was SO hoping the Browns would be in the playoffs as predicted!!  :silly:

Looks like they kept the wrong coordinator.

The Browns have some potential. I think their ceiling is the wild-card (so long as the Ravens keep winning, they'll be the division favorite for a while, but the Steelers are on their way down and the Bengals are... well... the Bengals). But they have to find a decent coach!

I'm glad Kitchens is gone.  They were such an undisciplined mess this year, even with all that talent.

I can’t remember seeing a better half of offense than that ran by LSU., in their win against Oklahoma.
Maybe early Run-and -shoot teams, but not in a big game like this. Not against a high ranked opponent.
Just magnificent to watch.
