OFFICIAL: BYU POWER 5 GAME

[maroonmania]

I hate the move for the same reasons that others have mentioned...they play dirty and the bull$hit they pulled in the past. They are independent now, so we know they have money. We better not be paying them a damn dime.

Yep, and if anyone saw the melee they had with Memphis at the end of their bowl game its obvious they are still the same bunch.

[War Machine Dawg]

We had one or two TD passes called back for phantom OPI. It was ridiculous.

Let's also not forget the OL who threw a punch at Conner Stephens. Not only was the assclown not ejected, he wasn't even flagged. And the worst part is that according to The Kang, we had him on tape for doing the same thing in previous games and had warned the "officials" about it. We should NEVER have anything to do with that bunch again.

Maybe that BYU game a decade ago was outside of Scott's memory banks. That game left me ...and many other Bulldogs....with a bitter taste concerning BYU. I also remember a BYU/MSU basketball game a few years before that with crappy biased officiating against us.

That BYU football game was the most BLATANTLY biased officiated game I have ever seen. A dose of prison loving on our own field with their conference officials. 2 examples I still remember .. one of our defensive ends being grabbed, pulled down and tackled to the ground which enabled their rb to scamper into the endzone at that vacated spot. Another was one of our cornerbacks having inside position on a deep ball, their wide receiver was behind our cb, went over and thru our cb to get at the deep ball...and the official throwing a flag calling us for defensive pass interference!

But, we had to find a suitable opponent for 2016 nonconference game. lets hope for more honest officiating in this one.....

^This. BOOYOO

...as I call them moved to an all-time #2 slot on my College Football "Great Satan" list after the '01 game. They are right behind all-time #1 Miami (FL)

Indeed. It was the worst officiated game I've ever seen. But I do have a fond memory of Dicenzo Miller's run against them at their place. I think he broke 14 tackles on his way to the end zone.

I went to Provo in 2000 and it was a good time. I agree on the officiating in Starkville. I think the worst call was the unsportsmanlike conduct against Grindle when he flipped the ball to the official while he was still on the ground.

I remember the long Madkin run. He didn't score but it was beautiful. I still have that game on a VCR tape somewhere.

I don't like playing BYU because of 2001. I was maybe a little bit more open to it until they decided to thug it out against Memphis.

That was obviously SEC officials because with Morman officials there are at least 9 holding calls on that play.

The issue with the officiating was primarily driven by the conference they were in at the time trying to get them into the BCS. It was blatantly horrible though.

I loved it when that BCS dream came crashing down the next week when Hawaii hung 72 on them.

I think I've mentioned this on here before but I remember listening to Jackie's post-game interview on the way home. I'm putting this in quotes but I may not have the words correct but it's the way I remember it: "I've coached a lot of years and I've won a lot of games and I've lost a lot of games but tonight is the first time I've ever had one taken from me."

Me too. I gotta get around to copying all my old games over to DVD at some point.

I remember their offensive line doing arm-drag takedowns out our DL's and no whistles, while our Wide Receivers got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct because they flipped the ball into the air after making a catch.

I say we don't have anymore to do with those Magic-underwear wearing, Joseph Smith-worshipping pseudo-Christians.
