crooked refs

[56BISON73]

They announced at least 3 times that artificial noisemakers were not allowed at NCAA games and that did nothing to curb the use. Would it then be permissible by the refs (supposed representatives of NCAA) to enforce this rule?

If its against the rules then why were they allowed in the game?????

EWU's admin clearly doesn't care about the rules...

Its over. Move on to next year. Dwelling on all the coulda, woulda, shoulda (no shortage of those, of course) will only make you mad and not change anything.

We made it a heck of a lot longer than any of us thought we would after the Miss. State game and the future looks bright for next year.

This one hurts. I see us talking about it until a day or so after Villanova destroys EWU. That should help ease the pain and we'll move on at that point.

No it will remind me how we should be playing them in front or a record crowd on espn for the right to go to the national championship game.

Also when their fans were moving to the endzone seats, there was a group of NDSU fans that started to go over as well but were stopped at the track by security. If they can go to those seats to make noise why were we not allowed to as well, they by no means filled the section up?

this play didnt lose us the game. not giving the ball to sigers on that 3rd and 2 lost us the game. instead we did a jensen roll out that never worked in the game. sigers had wide open space, plus with our FB right in front of him. we were starting to establish dominance in the running game. i just dont understand why we went away from our bread and butter.

The officials have no jurisdiction for things like noisemakers.

Just thought I'd point out another "questionable" call by the refs. This one is the personal foul penalty on the Bison player (#63) with about 12:30 left in the 4th quarter with the Bison in easy field goal range and moving the ball. Here is the youtube link. Please notice that the Bison player was tackled after the play. Apparently it's against the rules to be tackled by the opposing team after the play is over. Please notice the EWU player on the ground grabbing the leg of #63 and taking him to the ground. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsG4QKv6KOI

I don't see anything there that should have been a foul on #63. The only possible legitimate thing would be if he did something before he got up and the umpire was just slow in getting his flag out. If that were the case he still should have seen what the EWU player did and flagged him as well to offset the penalties. Unless there is something there that didn't show up at all on film, this was a missed call.

BTW...others saying the foul should have been on EWU and resulted in a 1st and goal at the 1 are incorrect. This would have been penalized half the distance and the Bison would have had the ball at the 8, 1st and goal.
