Taunting

Couldn't have been more obvious. That would have been called last year in many games. So much for the big emphasis on it this year. What a farce.

On first viewing< that is what I thought, but after looking a second time, it's pretty obvious he was showing official he had caught/had possession of the ball, similar to Chuck Long against MSU in 1985. He was simply making sure whistle wasn't blown prematurely in case any/all officials were ready to blow whistle not knowing exactly where the ball was and who had it. Non issue.

I hope this is your attempt at sarcasm...because he didn't need to show the ref anything....blatant taunting.
 
He was obviously taunting, and we got away with a big one, as soon as he did it I thought to myself "oh ****". You could see Rhoads having a conversation with him as soon as he got to the sideline. Maybe it was a makeup call for the BS late hit call earlier.
 
Speaking of missed calls, how about the one where he was out of bounds and came back it. I replayed it and he NEVER reestablished position in bounds. Both feet were clearly out of bounds when he jumped to make the catch.....poor officiating helped em big time.

It was taunting. But, I'm not sure on the OB rule if you are pushed out...

Apparently I wasn't either. I thought you had to at least reestablish in bounds... I can't believe you wouldn't need to. both feet were clearly out when he jumped.

11 Penalties to 1 penalty, I wouldn't say the officiating was necessarily in our favor most of the night, it was pretty terrible all around.

You DO realize that of those 11 penalties there were 2 or 3 OBVIOUS pass interference calls and a handful of false starts....not much controversy there. The two calls they missed would have resulted in a loss....I'd be thankful you got lucky.

And they missed several holding calls, a facemask and possibly an intentional grounding the other way to name a few. I'm just saying it's not like they were favoring us at all, we got lucky with the Reynolds taunting I'll give you that, I'd have to see the other play again where he was pushed out and may or may not have come back in.

I'm not being a biased Hawk fan....he was WAY out...they either missed a call BADLY, or the rule states he doesn't have to be completely in.
 
Most of the ISU penallties were obvious. However, the no-call late in the game could have really hurt ISU. When the UCONN QB was pressured late in the game. It was either a sack, intentional grounding or a backwards pass(lateral). It was not a incomplete pass.
 
I couldn't care less about what happened in a Cyclod game. Don't care to discuss it on the Hawkeye Nation website. We have our own game and team to discuss.

Cib,
You really need to get over your inferiority complex. That hand fighting rarely gets called and I am positive one of the passes was thrown 10 yards out of bounds--which would make it un-catchable and therefor not PI.

What about the two OBVIOUS push-offs from UCONN receivers?! Oh, not so OBVIOUS when you're rooting for the other team.
