Kinda surprised by this comment.

He is 100% correct.

He is 100% correct.

No doubt, he's just usually more measured in his public statements. And he clarified more later that toned it down a bit without changing the idea that he felt his team (rightfully) was screwed.

At this point it’s flat out obvious the officials in the BIG aren’t just bad but probably rigging the games in their favor due to betting. There’s so many obvious calls missed that it can’t be anything other than nefarious activity.

I don't remember the Minnesota one. Nvm corrected

I don't remember the Minnesota one.

Come on, Jimbo. The Grant Ervin TD before half.

 

[jickey moseph]

Yes, but I think Dean Blandino failed to acknowledge how cool the referee must have felt to pause dramatically for 2 seconds before drawing a huge cheer from the crowd while saying the word, "Stands." It was his Frank Drebbin/Enrico Pallazzo moment.

Do refs usually do that? Seemed like he was really placating to the home crowd there and knew it was a controversial call.

Not to mention the Sparty Interim HC begging on the sideline for it to stand.

Kinda surprised by this comment.

Yeah I get the Michigan st one that should have been incomplete. But the one against Minnesota was pretty cut and dry. Unless he was talking about the td that should have Been awarded right before halftime.

It was very odd. Showy and dramatic.

Come on, Jimbo. The Grant Ervin TD before half.

The original one said should have taken away a Minn TD.

For some reason this is Rhule second time referring to Ervin's TD before half. The first time he referred to it, it was pretty cut and dry that he was referring to the score before half.

Both Sam and Mitch got it confused with Minny's tying TD that was pretty clearly a TD.

I’ve Never been a huge fan of these Dean Blandinos or Jim Burr or whoever the retired cuck Ref is or retired officiating/rules Executive. Who sit at Corporate to chime in and explain to mouth breathing viewers who need an explanation to wtf is transpiring in real time.

Why not use these “third party” retired refs or rules execs. To actually be useful with the ability to overrule these pathetic on field refs and slobs up in the booth.

Notable Changes​

One interesting note off the bat: There are only three senior starters on offense with just one as a stand-alone starter (Nouili) and two who are listed as co-starters at running back (Grant and Fleeks). The defense has just one senior starter (Luke Reimer, who is officially listed as a co-starter alongside Nick Henrich).
Offense:
>> Nouri Nouili has moved back into being officially listed as the starting right guard after missing the Purdue game but being making a surprising quick return to start at Michigan State.
>> Nouili’s return moves Lutovsky back to being the backup right guard and moves Tyler Knaak back to backup right tackle — which moves Jacob Hood off the two-deep.
Defense:
>> James Williams makes his first appearance of the year on the two-deep. He’s listed as the backup defensive end behind co-starters Jimari Butler and Blaise Gunnerson.
>> Koby Bretz has shifted from his designation as the backup safety to Phalen Sanford and over to Rover as Isaac Gifford’s backup. D’Andre Barnes, likely a candidate to redshirt, is no longer on the two-deep — which is perhaps an indication of the team’s long-term plans to utilize that redshirt year.
>> Marques Buford Jr., who made his long-anticipated return to the field for 16 snaps against MSU, makes his first two-deep appearance of the year as the backup safety behind Sanford.
Special Teams:
>> Tristan Alvano and Brian Buschini have flipped spots as the kickoff man. They’re both still listed as co-starters on kickoff, but Alvano is now at the top.
>> Against Purdue and Michigan State, the top kick returners were, in order, Tommi Hill, Alex Bullock and Emmett Johnson. Against Maryland, the Huskers’ top kick returners listed are Josh Fleeks and walk-on Trevin Luben.
>> Alex Bullock was the lone punt returner listed for the Purdue and Michigan State games. Now, Billy Kemp and Ethan Nation are the top two punt returners. If Kemp is once again limited due to injury, you are likely to see Nation utilized more as a punt returner this week after Rhule said at Monday’s pre-Maryland presser he regrets not using Nation more often on punt return in the Michigan State game. And it seems possible that we will not see Kemp on offense against Maryland as Jaidyn Doss is still the team’s starting slot receiver — and is the only player listed at slot — though the stays of Kemp remains to be determined later in the week.

Man, when you look at that depth chart, you have to wonder how Chubba doesn't quit the game. Cannot imagine sitting behind those 2 turnover machines and not even sniffing a series.

If someone keeps telling you that you are good at QB, but not "Heinrich Haarberg good," it's time to find another passion in life.

IDK, maybe he doesn't want to play this fall.

 

[Irv]

IDK, maybe he doesn't want to play this fall.

I suppose that's possible. But it has to be demoralizing to sit there with a headset on, flashing signals that at least one school already knows, while you watch some the worst college football QB play this century.

 

[Jim14510]

IDK, maybe he doesn't want to play this fall.

I still don't see how that benefits him in any way. If he wants to transfer he'd be better off playing.

Maybe he just doesn't want to play football anymore.

 

[Carm]

I still don't see how that benefits him in any way. If he wants to transfer he'd be better off playing.

He may already know where he is transferring to.

He probably has known a long time he would be able to grad transfer after this semester. He couldn't transfer last December/January year because he was hurt and would have needed a waiver. Now he gets to finish his degree and he will have two years left.

Unless it's an FCS program he doesn't know where he's going.
