Michigan Fans Have Been Complaining About Officiating Errors in Iowa Game

[KuwaitHawk]

Poor babies, hope they get over before their next game!! lol

I hope so also, I took them over the tarnished rodents.

 

[HawksRule73]

There was a play on the last drive, can’t recall which one, where DJV was lined up clearly offsides and it wasn’t called. Honestly thought it was one of the better officiated games I’ve seen in awhile.

 

[kmurpny]

I must’ve watched that final play close to 100 times now and not once did I see anyone flinching. Went back in specifically looked at Lauck and still have no idea what you’re talking about.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

That weren't a flinch. Sore *** losers

Smoking some bad weed that was prevalent in the air up there Saturday. Friggin doobie heads all over

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Seriously? These dweeps must have stones the size of boulders to actually be complaining about the refs doing them dirty after that week one debacle.....

 

[r_desihawk]

i enjoyed that…thanks for the lol

 

[LaQuintaHawk]

I don't want to bump the troll thread so I'll just leave this here...

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

We were in shotgun formation. It looks like he moved on the snap. WTF, he doesn't have to wait until his QB catches the snap.

 

[BHoppy]

From my limited research and understanding.......

-once a forward pass is tipped (regardless of who tipped it), it becomes a free ball for anyone to catch

-Vonnahme re-established himself inbounds after being forced out, and therefore was legal again to catch the tipped/free ball

That might be the case...I was just explaining what Umich fans are asking...we aren't (for the most part) saying the call was wrong...just that we've never seen something like that before and thus a weird situationM

My understanding is as long as he was forced out of bounds by a Mich player he can come back in play and make the catch.

Sorry but I have to keep bumping this thread so I can find it later as my wife will really laugh watching the gif of the baby laughing. I could search for it but I might not remember what word or phrase to search on

Replay shows he was pushed out by the defender.

it would appear that the skillet is calling the kettle black (I mean, who has less room to talk re: losing games due to officials' errors when they are the beneficiary of one of the most ignominious gaffes in recent years?)

First, I have seen on Facebook (which is a bit more credible than the National Inquirer, but I am not sure how much more credible) that one of our lineman flinched before the famous final play, which would have at least pushed it back five more yards or even ended the game there. I have seen no posts to that efect in either the Iowa or Michigan forums, though.

Secondly, Also a Michigan forum post said that the infamous personal foul on Diaz that kept the last drive alive was "90% acting on Diaz's part" and probably should not have been called.

Is there any truth to either of these allegations?

Not sure about the flinch before the snap, but it moved after the snap for me

 

[Madman_1]

That video CLEARLY shows his "flinch" occurring at the snap, not before it.

What a douchebag...

[Hawkeyes19]

Big blew should be upset that John Hunter Daley gave us a free timeout by flopping down on the turf on the next to last play. Their prized portal addition should have been given a game ball by our coaches.

Crybabies. Karmas a *****.

 

[Rifler]

If there is one thing it was the tipped pass... it's not that we think it was wrong necessarily but rather trying to understand the rule as your guy tipped it, not ours

Simple rule,.. With a tipped ball the original passing play is still in progress until such time as the ball is either caught, intercepted, touches the ground, or goes out of bounds,.. Doesn't matter who tipped it.,.. I think the bigger issue here was receiver eligibility, which was good since he had been initially forced out by Michigan but then legally re-established himself on the field of play...

 

[herkhatescy2]

that is my understanding also. always has been. Hell, the offensive lineman could score a touchdown in that situation, theoretically.

Not really, it would have been ineligible receiver down field.

 

[herkhatescy2]

I saw that too but I'm not even sure it was of that play.

 

[Ripcord]

okay, I stand corrected. but there are SOME instances when an O-lineman may legally catch the ball. What are they? I am just curious.

When the ball is batted behind the line of scrimmage I believe. Or on a tackle eligible play.

One of the better scenes in the one of the better teen movie parodies.

 

[Hawksrock]

No flinch...... the level of butt hurt here is of the charts!!!

I will steal a line from the French taunter in Monty Python - "I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

Oh yea ...one last thing, IT WASN'T A FAIR CATCH!!!!

 

[TheGuy9]

Here Ya go:

An offensive lineman can legally catch a tipped pass if, at the moment the ball is tipped, he becomes an eligible receiver under the rules — either by having declared himself eligible before the play or by the ball being touched by a defender or eligible offensive player first

 

[BigDelHawk]

My understanding is as long as he was forced out of bounds by a Mich player he can come back in play and make the catch.

Only because he was not the first one to touch it after he came back inbounds. The fact that it was tipped, made it a legal play once he re-estblished field position.

OK. thx much. I am going to go back & review the video, as I am still confused. But we won, fair and square (despite what Michigan fans think, which is the basis of my starting this thread), and that is what matters.

Are they gonna get Peejed tomorrow and roll over and die the rest of the season?

After it is touched by an eligible receiver or a defender

Oops. Sorry. Someone covered it
