Since joining this crappy conference year in and year out we continue to get to short end this is the third game the offi have been one sided especially in the second half

The ‘fair shakes’ have to not matter, you overcome bad breaks/calls with relentless effort, confidence, and a will to win. We have none of those right now and fair shakes then determine our fate.

Don't expect any favors from the zebras if you aren't part of the original 10 or especially the Big 2.

Hate to seem like I'm always defending Penn State but living where I do I watch a lot of their games. They've been screwed over so many times by the zebras from what I've seen. Fellow blue blood that's been in the Big 10 for 30 years now. If they don't get the calls I'm sure as hell not expecting us to.

I agree, but in close games it definitely matters, no holding on Wisconsin or tripping, and numerous other no calls

Penn State deserves it for all those times Mafia Joe Paterno hired his buddy refs to fix games 😃

And yeah the blatant missed tripping was bad, but that occurred in OT, the team should have won in regulation. Wisconsin's o-line holding didn't cause the offense to play like shite after the first two drives.

NU has been getting hosed by refs for as long as I can remember. A few times it even cost us a national championship, so I’m totally with you. The answer is ‘no’ we won’t ever get a fair shake so let’s figure out a way to win in spite of it. Maddening though for sure…

The only call I saw that point blank could of changed the outcome was the missed "Running into the kicker" call on 4th and 3 around midfield. I have to say, refs do not give Nebraska the benefit in many games. Michigan State game was HORRIBLE, but at the end of the day Nebraska needs to learn how to make plays when we need them. From what I can see is when it is crunch time, we buckle EVERY ******* TIME!

Fair shake? Are you kidding? It is called coaching and even with one of the easiest schedules in Power 5, we don't seem to have it. Gonna be a long 3-4 years from what I have seen.

28-51 the past 7 seasons.
That’s outside the top 100 (out of 130) in the country.

Yeah, it’s the refs.

Maybe 29-50 if not for the refs.
Program changing results…

The mid to low 3* would be 187 - 0 if it wasn’t for the refs. Got it.

we went back to back games with no flags so it's not on the stripes, over come and adapt that is what good teams do, we are not there yet but I think Rhule will get us there if we can get a few more pieces to the puzzle.

First of all, we’ve made our own bed when it comes to the talent and coaching on the field. We’ve bungeled lots of things very badly and don’t deserve to win.
That being said, there is definitely something going on with officiating and has been since we joined this league. There’s a competitive imbalance that we keep ending up on the losing side of.
