They took 14 points off the board, and called what I thought was an obvious completion on 3rd down an incomplete pass. That too could have lead to points. Then the non-roughing the punter, which turned into a 15 harder on us.... I said it in the other forum and I'll say it here... Big 10 officiating has had it in for us for 30+ years. It goes back to us beating Nebraska and OU back in the 80s, and costing their conference several national titles. Sure, we wet the bed ourselves, but we wouldn't be having this discussion had that catch been called correctly, and our two TDs let stand. I sure saw Nebraska holding every bit as much on several of their key plays.
Remember, Big 10 officiating cost us the Fiesta Bowl. As much as I want to put this all on Golden, it's really hard to hold leads, and your composure, when they are taking away every big play you DO make. That pass they ruled incomplete would have been the dagger. Instead, they took it out and jabbed us in the eye with it.

Terry Porter was a Big 12 ******

Couple of corrections; Oklahoma was a Big Eight team, never Big 10 and the Fiesta Bowl had a Big 12 crew, though Terry Porter owned a bar in Akron, OHIO

Not to mention the fact that "Nebraska and OU back in the 80's" weren't in the Big 10.
The receptions was a bad call IMO and one of the holding calls.
I didn't mean Big 10... They were Big 8. Just got my numbers wrong, alright? For Christs sake, I guess you've never made a mistake. Kind of easy to see how someone could make a mistake concerning Big 8, Big 10, and Big 12. But carry on with your perfect life.They took 14 points off the board, and called what I thought was an obvious completion on 3rd down an incomplete pass. That too could have lead to points.
