The whole “you can’t call all of them” paradigm is dumb. They should

call a foul a foul if it’s a foul. The context/team shouldn’t change the definition. No one wants to watch a game where teams are incentivized to mug each other.

Heard ISU coach say something interesting in huddle during the under 16 time out

Mentioned that during the game. They hadn’t called a foul in the first 5 minutes

Utah football DB strategy. Grab and hold every play, then whine when

Start calling every foul and that team will stop fouling long before all their players have three fouls.

Were we that aggressive yesterday? I didn’t see us committing uncalled fouls

BYU could make a statement tomorrow by showing up with rugby helmets

Fouls in this game: ISU 22 BYU 12. ISU shot 7 FTs and BYU shot 21

I'm surprised the disparity wasn't more considering how aggressive ISU was on D

It’s a lame way to coach. It’s also a big reason why teams like ISU and Houston

Yes, this whole "let 'em play" mantra by so many announcers in the B12 is wrong,

Lame rationale--"You can't call them all," If refs do call them all, the players

Yup, true...and true again today. I think the refs are so enamored with Kelvin

Why would they be in awe of Kelvin Sampson? What had he done to deserve it?

While I understand the sentiment, he's a really good coach

That’s what I hear. But he’s gotten worked over by KY twice in a row…

It worked for Duquense (sp?) last year. They mugged us and we didn’t respond.

“At some point in March”. What happened their next game?

OKchief

Didn't they have twice as many fouls though?

Yeah - in the end it didn't seem to work. But there have been times when it did

I heard "initiate the collision"
