Pass Interference?

[Fromunda Cheese]

[Blo Pelini]

Since the ref that threw the flag was behind the play, he must have seen the DB's left hand pulling on the jersey of the wide receiver.

It still should have been a no call.

[FOOTBALLFEVER]

Definitely should've been a No-Call. What officials are taught to look for in that situation is did the hold impede the receiver's ability to go UP or FORWARD for the football and the answer is NO It didn't. Defensive back was in good position and was making a play on the ball. The receiver had a slight little push off with his arm as well. Don't forget we had 3 very questionable pass interference calls against Illinois St. that kept key drives going that I also thought were very weak

To those who say it should have been a no call you are kidding yourselves.  The proof is right there.  Rather than being so upset at that you should be upset at your coach and what he cost your team with the 2 penalties he got for acting like a 4 year old. 

The MVFC hopefully has already been in contact with your administration about this.  If not they should be.  Pelini may be a good football coach but his people skills suck.

Backer ...let's be real. He did not even pull up any jersey, nor was the receiver even complaining about it. If the defender was within 5-yards of me & I did not make the catch ...I would be yelling until the cows come home. In this case, I would would be trying to sell the case for blocked-vision myself, as #7 began the jump prior turning his head, but he clearly did turn his head well-before the ball arrived. I know this is not the NFL, so it is what it is. To me, officiating is all about consistency. I am willing to accept the fact that each ump has his own strike-zone ...but it should stay consistent for 9-innings and both teams ..and clearly it did not in this case. Bison players were tugging on pads and underarms all day ...as I am sure Penguins were as well (although not so obviously).

I also took exception to your offense waiting until the official had blown both the single and double whistle on time-outs ...that was almost pee wee. It is not as though Stoops and Carl P are going to set the defense before your team breaks into formation. It is not as if they are going to miss a player. You just pi$$ off the fans on both sides.

Overall it was a well-played and well-called game ...almost an instant-classic.

Those calls in the ILS game were really, really bad

Your fan base is quite delusional. You cry about calls you cry about no calls. Then you want the opposing team to act like soccer players when they get touched and if they don't then it never happened. So unless the players jump up and complain to the officials there should be no calls according to you. You folks place this loss on a penalty ......that did happen .....and totally ignore the fact that your team was owned from the middle of the third quarter to the end and that NDSU shut you down for the come from behind win. You could take that PI play away and the way NDSU was playing at that point they still probably would have won. If I remember right your offense ran what, 12 plays the entire 4th quarter, 9 plays and 3 punts and then 4 more after the PI play all for a total of -2 yards. Your punter started missing punts and your defense gave up big plays and could not stop NDSU and were on their heals. Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhh, that one play and that play alone destroyed your year, keep thinking that.

So do you honestly think we do not know this? Please tell us about the color of the sky once again before I grasp the stone from your hand and go on my way. Do you think that is the first time we collapsed all season? Don't flatter yourself, a partial scholarship team took us into OT ... so we are well aware of our team's issues. The reason this game was close is because we called a little better game and we match-up well against NDSU. We did not even belong on the same field with SDSU.

Tenn, allow me to tell you about the 4 bison fans that were sitting 1 row behind me. Early in the game YSU ball, pass play, incomplete, flag thrown. Everyone assumed that it would be d interference and those very knowledgeable bison fans behind me went nuts, F this F that, gd refs are terrible, Bo must be paying them big bucks, yadda yadda yadda, whine whine whine. And yes my wife and daughter got to hear their classless language. So moments later the refs made their call, guess what interference on the O. without missing a beat your fine fan calmly yelled  - good call.

During the whole game, hey we were held, interference, offside, they whined about everything.

Guess what fans are fans, yours are not better then the next team, you sir have no place suggesting someone else may be an idiot. May I suggest that you are in fact delusional.

[YSU FAN#34]

Well, i really should just continue on this site as i have for years without posting much but what the hell.  So i was on the field for the game.  And since we are talking about the integrity of fans, anyone know why the 4 bison fans were escorted off the home side of the field?   Im sure it was because they were appalled by our threatening, rude, delusional fans.

[IAA Fan]

I was right behind them #34. It was 2 things ...really only one of them was being rude ...had a bit to drink. They actually walked off when the police came to search their drinks and tickets, so I suspect they did not belong there. I just wanted them to go so I could watch the game. Students should be isolated for a reason and they showed us why ...LOL

[Penguin Nation]

I used to live in a suburb of MSP for almost 10 years.  There is a HUGE cultural difference (and not in a good way) to any other place I've lived, and I've moved around a lot.

One example comes to mind.  I used to go to Wild games, and stopped because I got tired of hearing the "F" word constantly.  I'd fly to Ytown and go to SteelHounds games.....never head the F word once.

Does this apply to neighboring ND?  Maybe.  Maybe not.

What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort....




This is from GOB1SON on Bisonville. He was at the game.

Knock yourself out.

Maybe it will get read by the congenial fans the turned and spoke to me and my wife after the PI call and told us to take our paid for refs and to get to get the **** out of their stadium. Or the nice gentleman getting into his car that yelled, once again with two ladies present, "I hope you are happy you pieces of ****".

I have been to a lot of football games all over the country, and I have heard of such behavior (and sometimes, Bison fans have been accused of it) but this is the first time I have seen it like this. I was scared to leave my wife's side for fear someone was going to get into her grill and then I would end up in jail in Ohio.

Oh, one last little tidbit, the nice lady who was all dressed in red sitting two rows in front of us, well her husband's name was Steve and he was one of the officials. I know this because her whole family, also dressed in red, was yelling "STEVE" the whole fricking game trying to get him to look up into the stands. And guess what!?! He was the official that threw the PI flag.

I did not just make that up. The official, that threw the PI flag, his wife was sitting two rows in front of us dressed in Youngstown State gear.

[IAA Fan]

So what NDSUSR? I am not getting what you are saying? If his name truly was Steve ...it was either Steve Madden, Steve Irwin or Steven Quayle. MAdden is the one that does Buckeye games. I can see him calling YSU games, as the Buckeyes were away. I bet the MVFC pays pretty well.

If I may say one thing to all Bison fans ..and to anyone that comes to the Ice Castle. YSU fans have long been known to be a little over the top.  Western Kentucky coach Harbaugh said it best about YSU fans. They are the most educated fans in the game and they do not miss a thing. 

This poster will take that one-step further and say that we know how to get flags pulled and put away. So we are not the loudest, or the most obnoxious ...just the best. We call players out on the field. There was a corner from FLAMU that would put his hands all over the receiver longs after the 5-yards and the officials would not say a word. We looked up his name in the program, walked down to the rail and let the player have it; then told the official that he better start calling it. The guy did it once more and we finally got a flag. Then the CB started lining up on the opposite side ...so we taunted him for being a coward. We were not vulgar, or anything close to that. We just wanted the player to know that we saw what he was doing, even if the officials didn't. I saw a lttle of that this past Saturday and it felt good.

In addition, our average fan is much older than most other teams. I am almost 50 and I am no where's near the oldest around the area where I sit. So we are not going to be quite as rowdy (or tolerant of rowdiness) as you might see in other schools.

You Bison fans are almost as bad as those JMU fans from 10-years ago ...they came on this board and posted for what seemed to be 2-years after what they felt was a bad spot in a play-off game. LOL

[YSU FAN#34]

C'mon NDSUSR, answer the question.  Why do so many of you hate YSU so much?  I dont get it.  We are and have been irrelevent for 15 years.  So why do we take up so much of your energy?
