Hmmmm.....

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...

What does soccer have to do with sports?

Why? There's always a distinct homefield advantage in college soccer. Duh.

I'll never forget the night I found out Big Ten soccer games are rigged. Shook me to my very core.

Refs have been terrible both ways. Definitely not favoring either team.

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.

Get know a field hockey ref and see if that is also the same thing, or even better a rowing official.

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.

Have you ever wondered if its not refs calling the game but creatures from an advanced alien civilization? Replace the word "referee" with "Exaturestreul" and you have a whole different story.

Calling BS that B1G soccer even exists

Shut up.

I saw a B1G soccer match on the BTN once. I suppose that could have been staged in a studio somewhere, sort of a Wag the Dog deal ...

Besides in Iowa athletics there is almost always an obvious home field/court advantage. Refs seem to forget this when they come to IC so naturally the thought of one sided affair in favor of us is unheard of and not the norm.

This must have been on btn2go.com. Only crap like soccer matches would work on that hunk of junk.

HAHA, awesome. I'm not convinced it does exist, nor will I spend time looking it up.
