We beat the refs

[305_separatist]

And not just A&M. They were giving them every chance possible to stay in the game. I had an actual A&M fan and a neutral Michigan fan both tell me that calling was redic, so it’s far from just orange and green shades. So many obviously missed calls, some terrible calls, and at least one crucial PI that we almost didn’t get.

Mentioned this in the game thread but one of you guys with vid chops should absolutely make a vid compiling every single one of these missed or terrible calls. We can spam it on social media, and start putting consistent pressure on officiating. Video should end by thanking and crediting all the refs by name and face.

It’s 2023, we have high definition replays available instantly from every angle, AI that can process video, etc. There’s no reason officiating should be this subject to obvious bias and human error. Fans need to start demanding more accountability.

They missed a pretty big call on us, too, so I'll call it even

They were holding most of the game

At least we have a coach that is trying to hold the refs accountable. Mario was giving them the business.

That was refreshing to see for sure

Yeah, they let the hold slide…. Might have been a makeup call.

We had one big one that didn’t get called. And each and every of us will take it!

The refs let a lot of stuff go Including some positives for Miami. George pushed off On his late Td and we held on the kickoff return. They missed a lot.

SEC refs was doing exactly what they are paid to do when playing outside the conference.. I wasn’t surprise one bit..

Wish ACC sorry *** refs would take notes.

Never understood why each conference has its own officials rather than NCAA officials. With all the money in the game these days especially for the conferences, there is too much financial pressure not to have some funny business, or at least the perception of funny business.

 

[fraggle]

Were they SEC ref's?

 

[AlexCane]

I was at game and didn’t see replay. There was a weird defensive holding call on us. Anyone recall that penalty and can explain what happened?

 

[Go Canes!!]

It was ugly both ways.

 

[Cribby]

Were they SEC ref's?

Yes

 

[gacaneaddict]

The first hold call on Mauigoa was weak.

The personal foul when the whistle blew and they hit Weigman was terrible.

No idea what James Williams did on the offsetting personal foul.

Mauigoa got away with 2 holes I saw that weren't called where we got decent gains maybe even a TD.

 

[canes1996]

When Miami is good, we have to deal with this in every big game. Wear it as a badge of honor.

The 3rd down false start non call that they threw a TD pass on in the 2H was an abortion.

PS: Stadium better start showing some god **** replays or going to games is going to become as extinct.

There was one particular play where we definitely caught a break from the refs, it was the beginning of the 2nd quarter (about 12:30 in the clock), 3rd and 6. #84 (Mccormick?) sets an extremely obvious pick that helped Young pick up a huge first down. 84 had basically stopped running then stepped to his right and stuck out his hip to disrupt the defender covering Young. One of the announcers noticed it and said "it was an incidental pick" but it was not particularly subtle.

TAMU was setting picks all day too so it went both ways, but if they'd thrown the flag on that 3rd down, we'd have been in big trouble as TAMU had just gone up 17-7 and had all the momentum. On balance the refs definitely helped TAMU more than UM as they also called some ticky tack PI that they didn't call on TAMU, but IMO we've been screwed much worse by refs in a lot of other games.
