[QUOTE="AutoPoster 3000, post: 1819591, member: 17214"] Count me as one of the people who missed the significance of this in real time. It happened fast, and the TV broadcast crew certainly didn’t call attention to it. I have a sick feeling in my stomach thinking how all four of our losses there was at least one crucial officiating lapse that might genuinely have affected the outcome of each of those games. The non-TD TD catch vs Indiana. The 10 extra timeouts Michigan State was permitted by obviously faking injuries with no consequence. The phantom DPI on Witherspoon that erased a pick and gifted Purdue 7 points. And now this egregious pick play non-call on 4th down. Every loss. It’s infuriating and gutting. But I will say it makes me respect even more the determination and heart of this team, the players, the coaches. Every step in the road this year has been steeply uphill into blinding winds. But these guys have no quit. And it starts at the top. I have issues with a few things, and I always willl. But the football culture that Bielema has built? No complaints here. None at all. [/QUOTE]
