Watching the bucknuts... LOSING... Indiana was holding their own... I have a HUGE screen tv... and saw the bucknut grab a hold of the jersey of the Indiana defender... and bucknuts score... no call... bucknuts pay off the refs...

that's all I got to say... until penalties against refs are placed... the bucknuts will continue to pay them off... and no team... especially U Toledo will ever have a fair game against them...

I don't follow the Big 10 very closely but from what little I have seen over the years I do get the impression that especially in close games Big 10 officials tend to help the team win that is in the conference's best financial interests. For this game it is obviously in the conference's best financial interests to have the AP Poll's #2 team Ohio State win rather than an unranked Indiana team that received zero votes in the AP poll. This should come as no surprise, however, as collegiate football is a big and lucrative business so conferences as well as individual teams will pull out all the stops to maximize revenue.

Players grab jerseys on every play. UT Linemen are no exception. Please don't get Red Wing Tom started on his "you don't understand the holding rule" rant. It's been nice and quiet without him.

Come on, now we all know that when you play O $tate that the game will be officiated fairly and in the spirit of equal opportunity for both teams.

You mean equal opportunity for both their offense and defense?

LOL. Yeah, that's about it!
