Big 10 replay needs to be under scrutiny and review

The officials and especially the replay officials in the Mich Mich St game were brutal. No dog in the fight for me in this game (except maybe disliking Dantonio more than Harbaugh) but the targeting and kicking a player out penalty was bogus, I dont know how you can overturn some calls on the field at the goal line when you dont have a camera angle looking straight down the goaline, and there was an incomplete pass call on the boundary and unless the replay official has a microscope or a very enhanced view I dont see how he could tell absolutely that the receivers foot was on the ground and not a millemeter above the turf.

Either limit the replays or get rid of this system. We have all seen some replays involving Iowa over the last few years that you would never think would be overruled or upheld but these guys see something much differently than we see.

That poor Mich St fullback who caught his first pass of the year or his career and rumbled down the field for a TD had the damn score taken away from him by the replay official. Poor kid.

How they upheld the "targeting" call is mind-boggling. Then again, how you would allow--with 00:10 on the clock with a two-point lead--your long-snapper onto the field is even more of a head-scratcher.

Good Lord, anyone can think of several alternate options to a long-snap.
 
Refs are not very good across the country. As long as the NCAA doesn't feel the need to put standards in place we just have do deal with it. At least we're not ISU who has the entire Big 12 conference with a conspiracy against them.

Man you know how to dig at the clowns.
