Cowman, you dont need to state the obvious that you are a ref, we all could have guessed it as arrogantly knowledgeable as you are about football. You can beleive whatever you want to about the officiating in college station last night but if NU wasnt leaving the conference and if they werent vying for a shot at the North title I think the refs would have called a different game. This is a bunch of political bull****!!! Nobody wants NU to win the Big 12 in their last year as a member of this crap conference. As for your comment on high strung vs disciplined, football is filled with emotion and I agree with previous posters about how the game is being forced to change and become less aggressive and protecting certain positions way more than necessary. If Bo wouldnt have been mad last night after the majority of those nonsense calls, I would have been disappointed, you cant just go through life being a passive little spineless wimp and expect to be a great football coach. If you expect Bo to maintain a perfect disposition throughout the course of a game like that, you might want to become a chess official instead of a football umpire, cmon man grow a pair.
