We beat the REFS!!! (and unc)

[Butler Pitt Fan]

Look I normally don’t bitch about the refs, but they have been absolutely pathetic in the ACC this season. Just pathetic.

We’ve been undisciplined at times but my god do they alter the course of games to where it’s almost unwatchable.

And they have to take a look at targeting calls, constant push offs by the WRs tonight, blatant holds on uncs Oline.

Maddening!

H2P!!!

Very true. The backjudge has to be a UNC Graduate. Pathetic.

 

[President Stache]

I agree they suck in general, not just on Pitt. It’s embarrassing really.

 

[bwh05]

I’m not a big officiating complainer but tonight seemed bad. At the game it’s hard to tell because you don’t get great replays but I haven’t felt like that many times.

Worst this year by far. Just downright pathetically bad.

 

[NCLee]

Narduzzi even said as much. Said we had 2 wins tonight’s

 

[DiehardPanther]

Why was Shocky’s TD overturned? The replays at the stadium showed he caught the ball.

 

[FieldHouse12]

what did it come down to ? the last play ? in OT ? wtf

nothing on the scoreboard seemed to show it moving. I didn’t get that one

 

[PittFamily2]

The officials have been bad in MLB, NFL, and so far in college football.
They're having trouble applying the new rules, there's lots of inconsistent and bad calls.
IMO they have to much to look for and they miss the obvious stuff.

 

[Mikefln]

Why was Shocky’s TD overturned? The replays at the stadium showed he caught the ball.

It was overturned because Pitt was playing against a Tobbaco Road team in a Tobbaco Road conference. We are still outsiders in the conference and probably will always be.

 

[PittFamily2]

Because it did.

 

[PittFamily2]

Why should officials or the teams of officials be affiliated with conferences.

Ok maybe the save money on travel costs but that's not a good enough reason to risk team bias and bad calls.

Just get the best guys or girls that you can find who want the job out there.

A ole school ACC official might have a bias toward a newcomer into the conference. Who knows. Maybe he or she attending UNC.

End that by having independent officials or teams of officials who are picked at random to do games.

If you're associated with the U or conference you shouldn't work that game work another one.

I remember the story about the official who made the bad call against PITT in the famous ND game.
As it turns out he was affiliated to ND through his father who had be a ND QB way back, he the official was a big ND fan and had a houseful of ND stuff.
He shouldn't have officiated the PITT vs ND game.

 

[Pitt5593]

Replay showed the ball was juggled and slightly touched the ground. Really questionable whether it was totally conclusive. Instant replay is such a joke. I’m an old timer, and I think it is causing more harm than good.

Yawn

I guess the 7 penalties against unc compared to 10 for Pitt (one of the most penalized teams in college football )
Is proof of some conspiracy ?

been saying that for years. Make them all ncaa employed. They have to declare any and all affiliations with a school. They are prohibited to ref in those games. Shit. They probabky say its cost prohibitive but these p5 teams rake in enough monry

they aren’t

there aren’t acc refs

They took a touchdown away. There was no conclusive evidence to overturn the call on the field. Yet they still did.

They ejected Hamlin out of the game, when he clearly was going for the ball. If Hamlin got ejected then the Carolina WR should have also as he launch himself into a defenseless player also. Just because one is an offensive player does not give more rights than a defensive player. So either eject neither, or eject both players.

2 very bias calls that changed the trajectory of the game.

 

[W1np1tt]

They’re becoming bigger than the game. And that’s not a good thing!!!

 

[PittFamily2]

Don't they work in conference teams?
Most of the time the ACC has officials associated with the conference correct?

Your Tar Heels lost.
Are you singing the UNC fight song, in the bathtub, playing with your UNC floating rubber ducky right about now?

I'm going to be impartial and throw in the non targeting call against us early on...should have been one while Hamlin's should not have been. Between those two plays and the overturned TD (that was luckily irrelevant), it was the worst officiating I've seen in a long time. Hell, the guy didn't even know how to work his mic.

 

[plcp]

Morriseys holding call was questionable. Looked more of a push

What are you talking about?
I have 4 club seats
Graduated from Pitt in 2002

If I should have another loyalty it’s to nc state (mba). Or duke - my wife’s employer

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

By the way - the defense taking stupid penalties on 3rd and long has been a season long issue .

 

[Tiger Paul Lives]

Are you sure? I know this is true for basketball, but I believe FB conferences have their own officials.

The concept of " indisputable evidence " completely went out the window on that play..

 

[Cap pitt]

The ACC wants NC bowl eligible and the refs were trying to help them get there, more money for the conference. An NC won't would have brought them to 5 - 5. Now 4 - 6. .??

ah, Millennial...that explains a lot...I will be kinder from here on out now knowing of your affliction..

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

There is a pool of refs who the acc and aac use and are assigned to ensure a rotation .

I’m not a millennial

if you’re going to go for generational swipes
At least get it more correct .
Boomer I presume

 

[Tiger Paul Lives]

So in a way, they do have their own referees, but 2 conferences share them. I just read they tend to work as crews and I saw the Sun Belt and SEC share referees early in the season when there are plenty of home games, but once the conference season begins, the SEC gets the “their” referees.

I dont get the nose-in-the-air attitude from boomers when it comes to millennials. The older generations elect buffoons (in both parties) to the government, caused a recession that hit hardest when most millennials were graduating from college and looking for jobs (which set us back significantly), and have caused irreparable harm to the environment and dont seem to care. If there is a generation which should be vilified, millennials are certainly not the one I'd choose.

uh, yeah but at least we get the concept of which bathroom to use....glad to know you are tooling around in your sail car though...btw...not a boomer (since we are splitting hairs) . Boomers are a bunch of smelly pot smoking hippies and I agree with a lot of your assertions...

 

[RaleighPittFan]

The ACC and the AAC have the same football officials. They partnered to help reduce costs. I seriously doubt that the officials have any bias against a team depending on where it's located.

Some of you guys will find any reason to bitch.

 

[pittzap]

The guys on the radio said it still looked like the his hands were under the ball, and at worse, should have been "the play stands" as it was inconclusive.

I think there needs to be a time limit on the review. If you really need that much time to figure it out with different angles, then the play should stand as called.

I will add two of NC's penalties were huge, the "chop block" penalty on their center negated a huge play as did one of their holding calls.
It is clearly incompetence over bias, IMO.

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

The concept of " indisputable evidence " completely went out the window on that play..

i hate when announcers say that. To overturn the call on the field, there needs to be "indisputable evidence." no there doesn't. calls are overturned all the time, in ever game, in multiple sports based on much less than indisputable evidence. QUIT SAYING THAT. i hate it. the call on the field is irrelevant when it comes to instant replay, we've seen this countless times..
