the refs

[SU91]

They called that out at the halftime show too. And the WR that was "pushed" out of bounds was the weakest push I've ever seen.

That’s why ACC is pee wee football. “Forced out of bounds”? I’ve seen tougher shoves in Mighty Mite football. Horrendous. Think that’s called in the SEC? Weak sauce.

Who's the former coach that's high as a kite on ACC huddle?

Its in NC what did u thinkwould happen. U have to beat them without calls like this.

He has Parkinson's. (Mark Richt)

 

[Cusefan95]

“Refs had zero impact on game”

“Calls even out”

Etc….

Guys like Josh Pate have been banging the drum all year about how awful college officiating is. One of the big issues is what a bureaucratic mess it is - every conference having their own officials in 2024 is like every NFL division having their own officials. The only reason it still goes on is there are people in each conference office that want to maintain their power.

One of the eventual outcomes - I think - of what is going on with the power conferences is that eventually officiating with be nationalized and standardized. But it’s going to take way to long, in part because there isn’t nearly enough pain in maintaining the status quo. After all, we’re still watching - and in the end that’s all that matters.

I know this should go in the game day thread, but know it's coming up after the game. Talk about homers. these guys

No, you might get what they have.

 

[shandeezy7]

I think I’m now rooting for Clemson and FSU in the lawsuit. Blow this clown conference up.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

He has Parkinson's. (Mark Richt)

Oh yeah he's an SEC guy tho.

 

[GoSU96]

11 pts on the refs

 

[orangemass]

We have been hosed in this conference from day 1. I’m sick of it

 

[kingtidge]

These refs should be fired, this is absolutely the worst since the “above the knees” penalty against Tennessee

No they shouldn't.

They are there to call good games, except against carpetbaggers like cuse.

 

[jgeorge322]

I thought the refs were bad both ways to be honest but the review when the guy stepped out 3 times before a td was egregiously bad

 

[TheCusian]

This is precisely why I always yap about incompetence. These clowns are not capable of carrying out some kind of conspiracy. They just suck at their job.

Don’t they check in w the ACC command center on calls - seems like those are the ones that go against the video evidence

 

[Cuse181]

I hate blaming the refs in sports. It’s silly. However, it’s hard to feel like we’re not being singled out as a northern team in a southern conference.

Syracuse isn’t close to good enough to justify that… but hey, BC and Pitt say the same thing

 

[Scooch]

Don’t they check in w the ACC command center on calls - seems like those are the ones that go against the video evidence

Yep. The same command center that gave us the Pena targeting call.

 

[sdhall01]

I kinda think that’s the point. You can’t let the mediocre northern team beat the Magnificent Seven teams because those teams might leave.

 

[NJCuse97]

Oh yeah he's an SEC guy tho.

You know that he played at and coached at Miami right?

 

[DomeHolmes]

If that was forced out of bounds, it was like blowing on a feather. Seriously? That was no force.

it doesn’t take much to knock someone going full speed a few inches off of his line. I think in reality, he probably bumped him just enough to do it, but was still a ridiculous call.

 

[shu 49]

Was a Miami guy for a bit

I don’t hate blaming bad refs after a win. It’s the best time of all.

I kept saying to myself, “Jesus, they’ve got the knives out. We’ll have to overcome this.”

The receiver “forced” out of bounds? If I touched you like that passing in a bar, I wouldn’t even say “excuse me.”

 

[Dinkyspond]

Was a Miami guy for a bit

I feel for the guy, he has Parkinson's, but he wouldn't allow Gus Edwards to transfer to Syracuse when Gus left Miami because Richt didn't want to face him when we were going to play Miami in 2017. Gus went to Rutgers and parlayed that into an outstanding NFL career. Richt was a tool in that situation.

 

[SUalldway]

Really didn’t like the “lined up over the center” call.

Of course the tobacco road refs and TV commentators didn't want to replay that video more than a few seconds

 

[Newhouser]

I thought the refs were bad both ways to be honest but the review when the guy stepped out 3 times before a td was egregiously bad

Worst call of the night was the illegal formation against NC State. That was high school level bad.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Yep. The same command center that gave us the Pena targeting call.

Did anyone else feel that they were going to overturn that just like we had in 2 other games this year that were targeting. You never know with these clowns.

 

[Scotch]

Wes Duram... Such a homer

He was absolutely giddy any time NC ST made a play. Embarrassing.
