Cavaliers to Roll Out Another Jersey?
January 6, 2009Report: Indians Sign Carl Pavano
January 6, 2009In his short, sweet and succinct post over at YardBarker, former Ohio State Buckeye Santonio Holmes has the following thoughts on the Thaddeus Gibson botched personal foul.
That’s Some BS!!!!! Quick question for you fans. submitted by SantonioHolmes
That 3rd quarter call for OSU vs Texas, as a roughing the passer was a TERRIBLE call!!! Just Terrible but its not going to effect the outcome of this game.
I agree that it was a terrible call. I disagree that it wasn’t going to effect the outcome of the game, though the fact that Ohio State went three-and-out immediately following that drive did not help matters much. I just wish they had a little more gas in them come the final two minutes. So it goes.

Cause, you know, the Buckeyes have neeeeeeeever benefited from a refs call in a BCS game before…
Sorry guys, but it was a BS call. It may have been borderline, but his hands hit Colt in the head. It wasn’t a touchdown play, there was plenty of opportunity to stop the Horns after that call.
Sorry boys….learn to love it…HOOK EM
I think Santonio should be more worried about calling BS on the Texas receiver diving into the end-zone on the winning TD. That’s his move!!!
Or that UT did not get called for pass interference twice in the first half, but tOSU gets called for the exact same hit, plus that BS roughing call on the same drive. That TD was gift wrapped by the officials. Not to mention the whole series being a momentum shifter, when it should have ended at midfield.
You can’t honestly be pleased with that victory as a UT fan.
I’m just a little tired of warm weather teams beating cold weather teams and thinking they’re the best because their offense is built to throw it 59 times a game. Thats great and all out in the desert and down in Florida, but no one can honestly tell me if that game were played in say New York, or Michigan, or Indiana, or anyplace not 85 degrees that Texas’ offense would have worked. Buckeyes lost, they blew the game themselves they could have picked off McCoy at the end and didn’t, no big deal, but playing in a climate that’s advantageous to your programs offensive scheme doesn’t make them the better program/conference. And for everyone who says bowl games can’t be played up north because of the cold weather and blah blah whiny crap the fans won’t come that’s BS, because i see plenty of Browns/Bears/Packers etc. fans sitting outside without shirts on every Novemeber and December. Texas fans need to man up and sit outside in the snow for 4 hours, then try and tell me weather has no impact on how your team recruits players and designs offense/defense.

Here’s my outlook on bad calls.
The team should have played better so no ref could make bad calls that would hurt the game. Therefore they lost, just like everyone thought they would.
TampaBrett –
Really? You’re really sticking with that argument? Tell that to the Charger’s team after Hochuli’s call. Too extreme to cite? Maybe. But realistically it determined the outcome of the game. Not that this call did determine the outcome, but your “outlook” isn’t realistic.
And the Buckeyes lost, which was expected, but didn’t get trounced like so many predicted. The Buckeyes were 16 seconds away from a win against a team that was supposed to crush them. Yes, they lost in the end, but not in the fashion they were “expected” to. Just another instance of media (ESPN) creating this false powerhouse known as the Big 12.
Santonio may have been a Buckeye, but he’s now a Steeler, so screw him.

I really want OU to pound Florida, FWIW.
I do too but that wasn’t helping my argument.

Yes I am sticking with that argument. I have a very realistic outlook. It’s called execution. If teams execute their plays, (catch balls, 3rd down conversions, etc.). Then they would have not been in that position. Which means no bad call at the end of the game could have screwed them.
Tampabrett –
Then you’re also completely discounting games like when the Steelers were handed the Super Bowl. The ref’s took that game away from the Seahawks (almost literally)…but you would still pin that on Seattle? There were SEVERAL awful calls during that game that kept Seattle from being able to execute. I won’t cite one example because then I’ll have to cite 4. The fact remains though, with your logic and demand, Seattle could have played nearly flawless ball only to have biased refs give the game away. You can possibly put that on Seattle and think it’s realistic.
This is my point – Teams put themselves in a position to win against their competitors…not to compensate for missed calls or to leave a cushion for those “just in case” scenarios from the officiating crew.
If OSU’s kicker doesn’t chunk a field goal, and then they kick their PATs instead of going for two both times, it’s all moot. Game over.
Not sayin’, just sayin’.
Yeah the first roughing call was legit. The second was total BS. Add the pass interference call to start the drive and momentum and 7 points are handed to UT.
