Are the Griz one of those fan bases where they believe that every ref is out to screw them? I know we have a good deal of fans that feel that way, but probably no more than the average fanbase.
I wouldn't expect perfection from the SoCon refs tonight....there's a reason they're working in the SoCon and not the SEC or the NFL.

Not really....we just know that the Big Sky refs absolutely suck. Always interested to see how different officiating crews officiate together with teams they have never seen before.
I think last week's officials at the EWU - Griz game were from the Ohio Valley? They let them play the whole game and didn't do ticky tack fouls OR (what I hate) in the first half let the teams play then in the 2nd half tighten everything up and what was legal in the first half becomes flagarant in the second half.
No one held or PI'd on either team in the Griz EWU game. Not once....not ever!
Yes we all saw quite a few holds (of course EWU way more :thumb: )......and there had to be a PI or two or three.
But compared to watching NFL games where huge offensive plays come back all time for holds that didn't "make" the play...and the called or not called 50 yards PI penalties that often very much dictate the result of the game....Griz/EWU was much better.
Players and plays made determined the outcome.

If you watched any of our games this year, you'd know the refs are constantly trying to fuck us. Against eWU it was horrible. Griz got called for shit that was non existent and EWU, literally got away with everything other than false stars... it was blatant. Fucking ridiculous.
Note how the refs failed to call targeting on JMU. Blatant targeting. Lead with the helmet and hit Flowers smack dab in the face. Also the JMU defender hugging the griz receiver and didn't get called for PI. It's pretty normal for refs to try and fuck us.
