I don't think most B1G are competent enough to be able to throw a game in one direction or the other. They are just very bad at officiating. I have watched a ton of basketball this year and by far they have the ugliest games, not in favoring one team or the other but just in not seeing at all what is going on in the game.

This.
 
Aw yes...most of you are so blinded by your lack of intellect that you miss my point completely. Point is if it's happening in a minor sport what keeps it from happening in the major B1G sports?

I get the argument that it's great if you're the home team. See this years Michigan game-watch the last couple plays and tell me we didn't get the calls, we did and great the Hawks won. Just call the game fair no matter where it's played. Not so sure that happens.

The home team has always gotten a little home cookin' - that's the way it is, like it or not. It doesn't mean there's some sort of conspiracy going on.. I just think the refs are influenced by the home crowd more than anything else. But alot of really poor calls in tonight's game. Some went our way, some didn't.

Yes the dozens of spectators at any given soccer match are so loud, boisterous, and intimidating that the refs have no choice but to call a one sided game, IF they want to get out of there alive.

I have gotten to know a highly certified soccer ref here in the Louisville, KY area and he shed some interesting things concerning the B1G. My friend does NOT ref in the B1G (he concentrates on the SEC and ACC) and I asked him why? He said the head of the B1G soccer refs has made it clear that all games are to have a "distinct" home field advantage and he, my friend, doesn't subscribe to that and likes to call games as he sees them.

Makes me wonder if other B1G sports are asking their refs to call a home field/court advantage??

Makes one wonder...

Oh, a soccer ref who doesn't live in B1G country or referee here, but knows all about it. I definitely believe him.:rolleyes:

Ah yes, we are blinded by our LACK OF INTELLECT, that we miss your point completely. We have no INTELLECT, and that's why we are making fun of you.

Do you know what intellect means? Since you're named "KentuckyHawk", I'll just assume you do not. Intellect is the ability to use the mind to understand complex topics through high-order reasoning. Part of this includes bringing in new data and determining the validity of that data.

Now, you come into here, claiming to have blockbuster information, but no one knows you, and we don't know if you're trustworthy, and your only source is a "friend" who males a preposterous claim that he needs to call something called "soccer" to appease home crowd "soccer fans".

No my friend, the mocking of demonstrates a surprising abundance of intellect in Hawkeye Nation.

And, quite frankly, that is something that doesn't happen often.

Careful Ghost, assuming just made an a$$ out of you. Ok, I live in Kentucky but I spent 6 years at the U of Iowa earning Chemistry and Chemical Engineering degrees. Born and raised in Central Iowa and once and always a Hawk. Played golf for Iowa and had sister who played 4 years of basketball at Iowa. Doubt you have ever seen the inside of a classroom at the U of I...pretty clear some in this forum haven't.

You're an educator? From UNI maybe???

Again my point to the original post was questioning the "home field/court" bias in the B1G not only in soccer, but whether its happening in all sports. NO doubt in my mind it does...

I'm going to Vegas and finding one of those "Vegas Vacation" casinos that have rock / paper /scissor tables. I'll bet they take B10 soccer bets.

Dude, I don't care about your life story, I understood your original post clearly, and the point you were trying to make was based on shoddy evidence and has questionable sourcing. As a "scientist", I would expect you to know better.

BTW, you can stop the act, we all know that being a chemical engineer in Kentucky is code for moonshiner.

I really hope that is a rhetorical question.
