That's an interesting choice of words. One-sided? Way more fitting. As a fan of a Big-10 team, I'm still beyond baffled as to the way the officials called the ND/Michigan game. That was the most BIASED officiating I've ever witnessed. Now, I'm no ND fan, but I'm a fan of fair football and good sportsmanship. That game, while intense, showed neither one of those values. That little yellow flag killed every effort that ND made and, to their chagrin, cost them a game. The ratio of violations was hands-down uneven. Where was the personal foul when the Michigan player PUSHED Michael Floyd to the ground RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OFFICIAL? His damn cleat and sock were in the shot! It was shown twice on air so obviously the world saw it. That damn bias must have gotten in the official's eyes again... And what about the "mysterious" seconds that disappeared from the clock, not once, but twice during the final drive? Even the announcers made a comment about that, but was anything fixed? NO! The clock went from 11 seconds to 10. At that point, Clausen brought that to the official's attention. The second was put back ON the clock, but then seconds before the snap an additional TWO seconds disappeared leaving 9 seconds left in the game. Now, like I said. I'm no ND fan, I'm a fan of FAIR, HONEST football. So would someone care to explain this little mishap to me and the thousands of disheartened fans who also witnessed this catastrophe? Exciting? That’s an interesting choice of words. One-sided? Way more fitting. As a fan of a Big-10 team, I’m still beyond baffled as to the way the officials called the ND/Michigan game.
