NW Holding

[Gary Lazer Eyes]

The worst part is it’s true. When the Huskers have gone almost two full years (actually it might have been OVER 2 full years I believe Matt Davison said on the radio) before a holding call was called against a Husker opponent. Something is just wrong or off. You can literally find holding on almost every down in college football and when it goes two full years without one holding call against a Husker opponent, that’s says a lot. Some group of refs aren’t even trying in that case.



of course a NON Husker fan would say that. Why would a Hawkeye fan want the refs to call a fair game for the Huskers, right? Then Iowa wouldn’t get the extra help when they played the Huskers...eh? Yep, I Thought so. Anyone with F_cking eyes can see the missed or blown calls. You have to be beyond bias not (or in this case “refuse”) to see it.

I have to ask, why do Iowa fans keep coming to the Husker boards, honestly? I can got months or even a year without going to Iowa’s board. There is really no point at all, NONE. So why is there so many of you Suckeye fans that come to our Husker board dam near daily? It’s quite sad and pathetic to be honest....being so obsessed with another team that you live on their board as much as you go to your own board. Hell you guys do the same on Twitter, you guys flock to Husker posts and constantly troll them...again...WHY?!?! It’s beyond pathetic when you’re THAT OBSESSED with another team you’re not a fan off. Just my 2 cents....

So if you call the Hawkeyes Suckeyes, what do you call the Buckeyes, who just waxed your *** in Lincoln?

 

[JohnRossEwing]

You must have missed it when I was told to watch an old Husker game for one graphic that appeared during a 3+ hour long broadcast. Apparently I was supposed to research something.

Again, it is a message board. My advice, if someone on a message board tells you to do something like...

1. Send them money
2. Send them a naked picture
3. Jerk off on camera for them even though you have not seen them yet because their camera is "broken"
4. Asks for your SS number
5. Asks you to watch or do research

Just don't do it.

*** Waxers...


Which reminds me...I need to make my appointment.

 

[Headcard]

Let's see here....

I'll concede the point about holding penalties by opponents. I have better things to do that watch a Nebraska-Minnesota game from whenever.

However, other points I have made:

1) Husker fans complaining about officiating bias, regardless of conference. I don't know how old you are, but Husker fans during the Big 8 era also complained.

2) I have asked for reasons as to why officials would be biased against a team that has done nothing in the last 20 years in favor of teams that have done even less. No response from anyone.

3) I have shown how both Nebraska and Northwestern were flagged last season below what had been their season average up to that point.

4) Invited people to research penalties per game by team, in which one would see that the least penalized teams tend to be teams like Army, Navy, Air Force, Vanderbilt, Rice, and Northwestern...hence the comment about ACT scores.

Your well-thought out, thoroughly researched reply was.....piss off.

Thank you for letting us know that you have no intelligent argument or counter-point to the above. Much appreciated.

It wasn't a game from whenever, it was last year and it was brought up because it was on a national TV broadcast and you still chose to ignore it. As far as the other "points":

1) ********. Nebraska fans don't complain about officiating any more than any other fanbase. I don't remember anything out of the ordinary about Big 8 days and, yes, the Big 12 gave us a big FU at the end, after we already gave them one when we announced we were leaving. One season and it was, honestly, to be expected.

2) Every conference has its' own culture. The Big Ten is a good ole boys club. So it doesn't really matter that schools like NW have never done squat in college football. Like I said before, PSU fans will tell anyone that will listen about it.

3) Pretty weak and lame. We are talking about an ongoing trend and you are using the "hey you got flagged for one less penalty than average in this one game last year".

4) Still with the freaking ACT scores, just give it up. It is no way relevant to Nebraska being treated like the redheaded step child of the conference.

Now you can run along to the board of whatever team you root for and leave the grown-ups to talk about football.

 

[allong69ks]

Don’t be an idiot. You refused to accept a verifiable fact, hence, were told to look it up. No one told you to watch the game until you stupidly pretended it didn’t happen.

I just conceded the point. You willing to do the same, or is your only method of reply insults?

Now you can run along to the board of whatever team you root for and leave the grown-ups to talk about football.

1) When the Huskers lost during the Big 8 era to anyone not named Oklahoma, it was always the because of the officials.

2) So, your only proof of bias is that it's just true. Got it.

3) The point about the NW game last year had to do with the penalty disparity being on par with the season average for both teams...which amounted to about a 7 penalty per game difference heading into the game. Any objective person...or reasonable Husker fan....understands that. In other words, Northwestern was called for fewer penalties because they likely committed fewer, not because of some imaginary bias.

4) The point about the ACT scores is also obvious to anyone that can read and think logically.

5) If life is so bad in the B1G, then maybe it's time to look elsewhere. The volleyball team doesn't seem to have an issue, though. They somehow have won conference and national championships while a member, despite "biased" officiating (or is the bias just in football?).

1) Not true.

2) Ample proof presented, like the 20+ consecutive games without our opponents being called for a holding penalty, you just chose it ignore it. Imagine that.

3) Again it's an ongoing trend. Yet another B1G game where we are flagged for 9 times as many penalties as our opponent is your proof that all is legit? Just Wow

4) ACT comparison is stupid and meaningless. I'm sure every opponent during the 20+ games was full of Rhodes Scholars. Only explanation, right?

5) Not a bad idea.

So you are just choosing to be ignorant. Ignoring the facts presented to you over and over and spewing nonsense to troll. Got it.

 

[allong69ks]

How does 9 flags instead of 10 prove that? What a weak argument. I could easily say they threw 8 more flags on Nebraska as proof, but it doesn’t prove anything. We could easily be more disciplined and reduce the yellow hankies.

But to claim the northwestern game as evidence that the refs don’t have it in for Nebraska is stupid.
You may be right, but you have failed to show evidence of this in the weak argument you made. “Nebraska was only flagged 9 times, which is below their average, therefore there is no bias against Nebraska.”

What?

I had statistics on my side to debuk claims of bias in the Northwestern game. Nebraska went in averaging 10 per game. Northwestern went in averaging 3. The teams were called for 9 and 1. Looks to any normal person like the game was called about how it should have been, based on the previous 5 games for each team.

So, if that's weak evidence then fine....but where is all this proof of anti-Husker bias with officials? No one has provided one shred of evidence. Basically, the argument is, "I don't have proof of anti-Husker bias...I just know it's true."

It seems that the Nebraska volleyball program seems to do just fine, despite all of this supposed anti-Husker bias in officiating. Or is that bias just in football....and, if so, they why is that the case?

ok... then it must happen to your team as well that 2 years have passed without a holding penalty called against your opponents.

In fact, it is a regular occurrence that any team goes 2 years without their opponents being called for holding.

if you don’t want to be called an idiot, then don’t act like one.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Nah, honestly I just thought it was sort of clever and funny.

1) Has Nebraska ever gone a game without having a penalty called on them? Understand....I don't ask questions like that I don't already know the answer to.

2) If they have gone a game without having a penalty called against them, is that bias against the other team?

3) Is there officiating bias against the Husker volleyball team? How about basketball? Umpires in baseball? I just ask, because it seems to me that if bias stems from the B1G "good ol' boy" mentality, as some have argued, then there'd be bias in those sports as well....and yet somehow B1G titles have been won (and a national championship in the case of volleyball).

4) Ohio State has been called for more penalties between 2013 and 2017 than Nebraska. Do they get to whine about bias and the "good ol' by" mentality? How about Maryland and Michigan St., with only 4-5 fewer penalties over that stretch than Nebraska. Is there bias against them as well? I see Northwestern had the fewest....the refs must just like them the best, right?

Can you address any of these with any civility, or are you just going to lob insults?

Opponent Penalties would be a much more telling stat given what we're debating.

So you are going to make 1 game your sample size, not 2 years’ worth... ok, I’ll humor you.
Sure, Nebraska has gone games without being penalized. Heck, the 1995 team went an entire season without being flagged for holding.
Anyone can put it together for a game. Can you point to even just 1 other school that has gone 2 years without a holding penalty called against their opponents? Just 1 other school. I’ll even let you look in high school, middle school, and pop warner.

Could husker fans be more objective in the category of penalties for and against? No doubt. I am not necessarily banging the drum of bias against the huskers... I think it could be overblown as well.

But any objective observer would think it crazy that a P5 football team went 2 YEARS without having a holding call against their opponents.

And yet, when you ask for proof, you don’t accept the proof that is given and is glaring and instead first say it never happened, then when faced with the evidence, you call it not proof.

Work with me here. You want proof, be objective about it. I will try to be objective as well. We are not the most disciplined team. We get more flags as a result. But no holding penalties for 2 years has to seem at least a little fishy, doesn’t it?

 

[BarefootCat]

Two certainties when we play NW.

#1). They will get away with blatant holding all day long.

#2). They will have some little white guy at slot receiver, with a name like Flynn or Austin, that we can’t cover.

This year his name is Riley. Seriously.

My one game sample size is to see if you were really objective...that's all.

So, in 1995, was there bias in favor of Nebraska? Just wondering, and don't tell me it's just that they were that good. No one is that good.

Yes..it's a little odd that the team Nebraska played against got no penalties for holding when playing Nebraska. I also find it more odd that people seem to think that several officiating crews got together prior to each game for two seasons and said, "OK, fellas....don't call _______________ for offensive holding today...we need to stick it to Nebraska" for no apparent reason.

I grew up watching Air Force and CSU get beat more often than not by BYU. The Cougars did, in fact go almost 2 seasons under Lavelle Edwards without a offensive holding call made against them.

Another poster on here showed the number of penalties called on the B1G teams from 2013-2017. Ohio State had the most, Nebraska was second. Nebraska and the fourth team were within 5 penalties of one another (out of almost 400). Why is there bias against Nebraska, but not Ohio State, Michigan State, and Maryland?

BTW--Last year against Northwestern, Nebraska was called for offensive holding only once. There's a Corn Nation article about how the B1G in general doesn't call many holds (it documented 7 games between various opponents; 9 holding calls on 471 pass attempts...a whopping 1.91% of plays).

You've admitted that Nebraska could be more disciplined. However, it seems that getting hung up on opponent's holding calls (when apparently there's not many called in the B1G in general) is a way to reach for an excuse to claim bias...and I just don't buy it. Like I said above, I have a hard time believing that there's some conspiracy among conference officials to stick it to Nebraska for no reason in particular...especially when there's 3 other teams that are just as bad or worse at committing penalties.

 

[Your Cousin…Marvin Berry]

This is a very interesting angle... the B1G brought in Nebraska for its football and even altered their academic requirements to make that happen for the first time ever. But the conference officials are against Nebraska to gain nothing? Maybe Nebraska is just not a very good program anymore or at least at those point in time. Atleast not very well coached if they’re being held that much and nothing gets called.

 

[Jdhawk94]

As have you. Nebraska was only called for one holding against Northwestern last year.

So, can you explain to all of us why there would be an anti-Husker bias among several officiating crews for a 2 year period?

"Now why are you so obsessed with trolling on another teams message board?"

2 reasons:
1) For the same reasons Nebraska fans troll on other folks boards.
2) Just to make your life miserable. The fact that you have to voice your discontent with me tells me that I'm succeeding.

Okay, let's see if I do or do not have any say in what you do. If you post here again after I just asked you to stay here and keep posting I guess we will know that I do in fact have a say in what you do.

 

[o_Hit]

Let's see here....

I'll concede the point about holding penalties by opponents. I have better things to do that watch a Nebraska-Minnesota game from whenever.

However, other points I have made:

1) Husker fans complaining about officiating bias, regardless of conference. I don't know how old you are, but Husker fans during the Big 8 era also complained.

2) I have asked for reasons as to why officials would be biased against a team that has done nothing in the last 20 years in favor of teams that have done even less. No response from anyone.

3) I have shown how both Nebraska and Northwestern were flagged last season below what had been their season average up to that point.

4) Invited people to research penalties per game by team, in which one would see that the least penalized teams tend to be teams like Army, Navy, Air Force, Vanderbilt, Rice, and Northwestern...hence the comment about ACT scores.

Your well-thought out, thoroughly researched reply was.....piss off.

Thank you for letting us know that you have no intelligent argument or counter-point to the above. Much appreciated.

Look at this guy talking about ACT scores when he didn't even go to college.

During the Minnesota game last year someone from Nebraska claimed it had been over 2 years since a holding call on Nebraska's opponent?

Kind of. It wasn't someone from Nebraska claimed, It was a statistic shown on screen during the gamecast (BTN). And it wasn't all opponents, it was just conference games.

It wasn't a game from whenever, it was last year and it was brought up because it was on a national TV broadcast and you still chose to ignore it. As far as the other "points":

1) ********. Nebraska fans don't complain about officiating any more than any other fanbase. I don't remember anything out of the ordinary about Big 8 days and, yes, the Big 12 gave us a big FU at the end, after we already gave them one when we announced we were leaving. One season and it was, honestly, to be expected.

2) Every conference has its' own culture. The Big Ten is a good ole boys club. So it doesn't really matter that schools like NW have never done squat in college football. Like I said before, PSU fans will tell anyone that will listen about it.

3) Pretty weak and lame. We are talking about an ongoing trend and you are using the "hey you got flagged for one less penalty than average in this one game last year".

4) Still with the freaking ACT scores, just give it up. It is no way relevant to Nebraska being treated like the redheaded step child of the conference.

Now you can run along to the board of whatever team you root for and leave the grown-ups to talk about football.

It really gives the fan base a bad look when complaining about officiating occurs before the game is played. Do you have any numbers validating your claims? How do you know about the complaining of every fan base across the country? Defining the culture of a conference is a subjective point of view, yet you are compelled to use it as evidence. To your point, if every fan base is complaining the same amount then wouldn’t that mean they are “screwed” as much as you? So which is it...did you lose because of poor officiating or did they lose from poor officiating?
