John O'neill retires!!!
- Thread starter PSUJam
- Start date
Fans in Columbus and Ann Arbor are in mourning....how are they supposed to get to the CFP without O'Neill! Although I am certain there will be a new 'Cheat" in waiting...
Isn’t he the guy who told one of our players we were lucky to be playing football? No bias there. 
I hope Kraft put together film of him screwing us over and sent it to Warren along with the schedule screwing we've been taking.
Bye John. Don't let the door hit you where Satan split you!
"Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead"...well at least to us anyway.
I fully expected to see
John O'neill retires!!!
...after tonight's game in West Lafayette. Seriously.
Low-life scum. Your only job was to be fair.
I believe he told that to Matt McGloin. I'm ALL IN for no violence against referees, but I have know idea how Matt didn't take a swing. He's lucky he didn't say that to Michael Mauti . . .Isn’t he the guy who told one of our players we were lucky to be playing football? No bias there.
I was just randomly talking to a Purdue friend the other day that O'Neill has been a Big Ten ref forever--when will that guy retire? And then boom--it happens! This is a good day.
I never imagined I could loathe a referee. Then I encountered O'Neill and Witvoet.
Don't leave out Dick Honig!
By all means then, please randomly talk to a friend about when PSU will make the playoffs…
Official: "You're lucky to be alive . . . I mean you're lucky to be playing"
The thanks of a grateful Nittany Nation go to you, my friend.
I just want to make clear why I think this guy is such a POS.
Yes, it hurts, badly, to watch your team lose. But think about our kids who worked their tails off all year for their opportunity, only to have it stolen by a biased ref. It's terrible.
The whole point of the big ten is to help all teams; a rising tide lifts all boats. For the last decade and probably longer, is there anyone who truly believes big ten isn't biased for the big 2? I have to be independent in my job. That's independent in fact AND IN APPEARANCE. The big ten has failed miserably at this. This isn't sour grapes, it's reality.

All they had to do was look at the replay board in the stadium which clearly showed the ball hitting the ground. But based on the fact that they couldn't locate the play clock display they may not have known where the giant replay board was either.Equipment malfunctions
There were 108,000 people pointing to it that evening, including myself. They actually had police in riot gear near the field towards the end of the game. I have a picture I'm going to search for and post.
Edit: Here you go.
I am in the upper left of that photo. I remember texting people back at home asking what the hell was going on. We were all waiting for the call to obviously be overturned and it held up. I knew then that despite the awesome grass it was not a level field that night.
I have to believe anyone under 50 probably has no idea who that chap is
AND, wasn't that the same game the ref's called a timeout for Urban as well? You could read Urban's lips "I didn't call a time-out".
A position coach? He couldn't get into position as a referee so how the hell is he going to tell anyone how to get into a position? Maybe he'll get bulldozed on his first day of work.
Hey don't forget Honig.
Edit - I see someone else mentioned him above. These 3 were an embarrassment to the profession.

With his retirement, he’ll be moving to Ann Arbor and inducted into both Da O$U and Mich Hall of Fames with a bronze bust of him tossing a flag at a Penn State D Back
