Are Mormons allowed to stay up that late?**

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

We'll still be on DST in October.

(Yeah, I know.)

 

[KurtRambis4]

One things for sure,

the mother 17ers will be holding all night long. That 2001 game was absurd.

 

[ShrubDog]

That 2001 game is in my top 3 worst called games ever. That game was crazy.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Bar none one of the angriest I have ever been during a State game. It was criminal how badly that crew called that game.

 

[121Josey]

To be fair, you could call holding on every play. But it was completely unfair that it wasn't called on every play in the 2001 game.

That game was the summation of the 2001 season.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Was it Hawaii that exposed their asses a week or 2 later?

 

[was21]

Where is our AD when we need him?

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Yeah, Hawaii. I watched that whole game. It was better than watching Ole Miss lose.

 

[patdog]

The usual convention is that the road team provides the referees. If they're holding, it will be called.

 

[Shamoan]

This matchup does nothing for me. Do we not learn our lessons from the past? 17 this team.

 

[wpmusm]

The usual convention is that the road team provides the referees. If they're holding, it will be called.

Depends on the contract, but this is typically the case.

Since BYU is indy, what conference do the refs come from for the Starkville game?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

They were Mountain West refs

 

[Palos verdes]

I would rather us play Colorado, Iowa St, Minnesota, or Indiana.

 

[was21]

or Purdue

 

[KurtRambis4]

Fixed it for you**

To be fair, you could call holding on every play for that game.

The crowd started a "holding" chant during the game multiple times

I have never been to a game before or since where I have heard that. BYU was undefeated and was trying to get in the BCS and the Mountain West officials were obviously trying to make sure it stayed that way. It was completely criminal. Of course the next week, Hawaii dropped 72 points on the Mormons' ***, to end their BCS hopes. That was a very satisfying game to watch. I believe one of the BYU male cheerleaders got into a fight with a Hawaii player after one play and another Hawaii player was ejected from the game after he punted the ball into the stands following a touchdown that gave them about a 35 point lead. Good times.
