Harbaugh loses all Credibility

Beyond that, of the 4 calls he complained about....only 1 had any potential legitimacy behind it. He couldn't see the above call. He couldn't see the PI call on the Buckeyes (it was PI). He certainly deserved the unsportsmanlike call. I mean, the way he dressed he was clearly attempting to emulate a cross between Bo and Woody...and his sideline antics were as boorish as anything Bo or Woody ever did.

Maybe, maybe, only the non call of a PI had some merit in the sum of his complaints.

I can say in Jim's defense that this is only his second year at the helm. But hey Jimmy Iowa is the one that got you; not OSU.

My wife is from Iowa City and I have visited there many times. Iowa Hawkeye football at a home game is awesome! The whole town is yellow and black with kids on bicycles. I asked my father in law and he explained to me that underclass men can't drive on campus; thus the bicycles.

Looks too much like Steeler shit for my good. But, I did visit Iowa's campus a couple of years ago.

Nothing Steeler about It Gip. It's a school atmosphere. My father in law passed a couple of years ago and on his funeral...on the way to the graveyard with his ashes we were held up by game traffic. The driver apologized and we all knew "dude" wouldn't have minded being a little late to his funeral because of a Hawkeye Game.

Is that the fake photo the OSU WR coach posted on twitter? Lol

[MLD Woody]

There were also two blatant PIs that aren't called on OSU, when Michiganbwas called for the exact same thing. Just saying....

I agree. I can't watch Iowa play. The look like the stoolers too much

Harbutt is a fool on the sidelines for sure, but his QB turned the ball over 3 times. Giving OSU 14 points and taking 7 points away from his own team. That's why they lost the game, not because of the officials

[Browns149]

Did harbutt also post on twitter, back in February,

"Question of the day: Does anyone find whining to be attractive? Just curious.

It is the view from the overhead camera....the same view they showed on replay within seconds of when the play was run.

There MAY have been ONE.....the other was just your piss colored slanted view of things.

I thought Whines Hard was a retired Steeler WR.....guess there must be a clone.

This is the view from the broadcast camera

If you shift your POV left, to be directly over the 15 yard line, how do the players move further to the left relative to the 15 yard line?

Not to mention the angle of the hash marks to off of the 15 yard line don't make sense, lol.

FYI, I'm not the only one calling this a shopped photo.

I'm not saying one way or another whether this was a 1st down. Regardless, using a photoshopped photo as evidence doesn't help your case.

MAYBE one, huh?

First question, is this a penalty?

ok, how about this?

Guess which one was called?

How about this?

The background of the refs.

- 1 was previously dismissed by the Big Ten

- 1 is an Ohio native inducted into the Ohio High School reffing HOF with the ceremony in Columbus

and the worst

- 1 that is an open OSU fan, that was previously banned from reffing the 2006 Michigan vs OSU game because of any perceived bias.

How in the hell does that guy ref the game if he wasn't allowed to in 2006?

Look, Michigan could have done a number of things slightly better to win. The fumble on the 1. The pick 6. I get that. But when you're also working against poor, potentially biased refs in a very tight game, it is a tough pill to swallow.
