The last game was pretty fairly whistled, do you think there may be pressure for the Big 10 refs to help Michigan if the game is close?

I hope not, but in some of our other games I have been suspect of the calls.

I am also wondering if the clutching and grabbing that LSU and Florida played will be a part of this game?

I think the late hit out of bounds on TJ Courman during our last drive was blatantly overlooked.

Yes, Homer will be one of the zebras if need be.

The white hat for the last Michigan vs App game was John O'Neil, he was the white hat for the BCS National Title game last year between FSU & Auburn. He does a good job and is the Big Ten's top official. I doubt he will be on the game the 2nd time though.

Thanks for bringing this up Philly.

The late hit OOB on the last drive was done on CoCo Hillery. The ref not 3 feet away and and looking right at it then No called it. Coco was lucky to escape a whiplash injury on that one.

When this game was first announced the one thing that stuck in my craw from that game was the late hit!

The most critical part of an officials and IMHO thier most important one is to protect players from needless injury. That ref unquestionably demostrated a callous failure not to do so by not making a call.

For years every time Iv'e watched I cringe then cuss after that play. Within a week or so of this rematch game being announced I emailed Cobb that he should insist this guy is nowhere in the vicinty of Ann Arbor this time. Maybe I should have emailed Satt as well?

That referee cheated. No other way to put it.
