Turn on the ivy league game with Cornell and Harvard! I’ve never seen the announcers be so over the top, but accurately, critical of the horrible refs and their calls. Cost and Cornell any chance of winning the game. So egregiously bad.

Edit: One of the many horrible calls screwing them, Cornell was trailing 17–10, then on D recovered a fumble after a good legit catch/reception by Harvard that was essentially returned for a touchdown that would have tied it making it a game.

The receiver made the catch then literally ran two or three steps while holding the ball, got hit and fumbled, and they called it an incomplete pass. Ridic. And then would not review it despite the protestations of the Cornell Coach going absolutely, but appropriately, bat shite crazy

Announcers were all over it saying essentially it ended the game the way it affected Cornell and their emotions basically them feeling helpless, translated to the performance on the field afterward.

This is what so often happens with us playing down south against mostly too often crappy and likely biased refs.

My question would be why didn't Cornell coach just call the timeout and ask for the review? He wanted one and was screaming at the refs to get one done.

Its still a break down of the rules.. If they call the turnover then it gets reviewed but if the dont you have to hope the replay judge isnt taking a nap. and they had tons of time to decide to do one.
