By making bad calls intentionally??? You really think that's the most likely explanation here?

Mike Reed the lead ref

The ref made himself the story. He has a massive ego

Or maybe he's just an inconsistent bad ref & isn't doing it intentionally

MaximusMeridius

Mar 23, 2:59pm

I’ve never been more sure in my life that a ref was inconsistent on purpose than

MaximusMeridius

Your premise is that he has only one job or, rather, one major source of income.

Where did I make that assertion? Try again

MaximusMeridius

"..he decided to risk his job.."

Ripliancum

Mar 23, 10:37pm

Where does that say anything about only having 1 job?????????

MaximusMeridius

Mar 23, 10:57pm

your premise also relies on his belief that his horrible reffing will "risk" his

Refs get scored based on their performance... intentionally making horrible call

MaximusMeridius

Mar 23, 10:00pm

Ok then what is your explaination for his calls? No one can be that bad without

And now we've come full circle

MaximusMeridius

Mar 24, 11:30am

C'mon how can you not think it's intentional when a player points to the score

imdocrob

Mar 24, 12:49pm

you sure got me with the eye roll!!!

imdocrob

Mar 24, 8:38pm

Does he happen to be a close family member per chance?

imdocrob

Mar 24, 8:39pm

Eye roll because you're literally just repeating the same things above

Lacomb was going off on him… the problem I have with officials is they are so

Have to be graded on their work and publicly held accountable for good and bad.

An accidental bad call can ruin a life if not carefully handled.

niqmadu

This isn’t high school.. refs who routinely make bad calls should be quickly

1984coug

Mar 23, 2:21pm

Yep. With sports betting so prevalent, refs need a REAL short leash.

Orem58thBall

Mar 23, 2:55pm

Agree with solid oversight. Hard to know how it’s handled now.

niqmadu

Mar 23, 2:58pm

Obviously, it isn't being handled in any way that discourages bad officiating.

Les IsMore

Mar 23, 8:01pm

Yeah, it's very telling when a former assistant coach was bothered by him so

westsidecoug

Mar 23, 2:25pm

There's probably already a way using AI to rank and rate refs using game videos.

Ripliancum

Mar 23, 5:58pm

Interesting.

Interesting background. Well, that dufus can moulder in his inability to stop the KY train. I'm sure it's

Tim Lacomb mentioned a few things about him on X last night and was hard on the officiating as a whole.

RootieBoy

Mar 23, 12:20pm

Plenty of complaints of him on CB from 2011 when u search him. See link.

Chance Moore was the main culprit. He was the official that Mawot was upset

Pee Wee Reese

Mar 23, 12:34pm

yea, when Fouss was hit in the face it was right in front of the ref

IntelCougar

Mar 23, 2:18pm

Ref looking right at it. Hit his face. Then the follow through raked both arms. Unbelievable no call.

Spiff

Mar 23, 2:26pm

He was also hit across the arms on that play, hence the ball coming out.

Chance has recent history with the BIG12.

I can't disagree with anything said. HOWEVER, if I were a ref and happened to be

OldFogey

Mar 23, 2:12pm

I’m watching other B12 games and I think it’s happening to all of the B12 teams

ImuaKahuku

Mar 23, 2:41pm

We’ve been thinking that too.

Banjo Blues

Was he the one watching Fous get raked across the face and arms?

Pundits were lamenting on how bad the referring was, not just Y fans.

SoValleyCOUG

Mar 23, 3:11pm

I am very critical of refs at times on here, of the 3 refs last night, Mike was the least bad of the three

slatecoug

Mar 23, 3:40pm

Check out Tim LaComb's X posts about him. He's not a fan.

cajuncoug

No issues. Both were appropriate by rule

kapcreations

Mar 24, 4:29pm

I disagree when a player draws a line in the batters box you know

imdocrob

Mar 24, 5:33pm

They could easily have ruled that the contact was accidental. It was.
