Great Line From Houston Cougars Board Re: Refs
Refs at Memphis are being paid to make sure another AAC team drops from the rankings.



Could not have said it better myself....

Conspiracy and incompetence look a lot alike. Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

That said, that was truly a disgraceful display of officiating, even by AAC standards.

RE: Great Line From Houston Cougars Board Re: Refs
Aren’t the refs employed and paid by the AAC? If so, I doubt that would be the reason. I chalk it up more to stupidity. We’ve seen some of the worst officiating since we joined the AAC. Unfortunately, the conference doesn’t seem too interested in correcting the issue. Hopefully, yesterday opened their eyes a bit.

Watched the Bears and the Aggies last night and the SEC is not much better. Remember when the NFL officials went on strike? Didn't they use college refs? That was a massive cluster.

02-13-banana I don't think those officials are intelligent enough to work at a Mapco.

They looked to be sleepwalking. Eyes were empty dead.

How late were they out the night before? Wonder if they had any days off in the last two weeks.

This is true across the board in all conferences and in all sports. Last night Curry LITERALLY shoved the defender with both arms and the ref called a foul on the defender. Officiating is bad in just about every sport there is and the leagues just want to ignore the problem and fine those who complain.

Problem is they compare the officials against other officials in their league. When you compare a moron to a lunatic the moron does not look that bad.
