[QUOTE="Ramrod2010, post: 1814975, member: 10435"] I'm not trying to saying that there is a league wide conspiracy. But the fact is we've had one game ripped away as a win and another (today, with the same crew) that you could argue was taken as well (as either FloridaMan or AutoPoster has laid this out quite well already). On top of that, just off the top of my head, there have been several other instances through Illinois sports history that have had lasting impact into the Illinois fans' psyche: -Playing at Kentucky in the NCAA tourney back in the 80s leading to the rule that teams can't play in their own cities. -End of game reviews in basketball after the Miami debacle several years back. -I don't think this one led to any changes (could be wrong) but the Michigan/Illinois football game back in 2000 (2001?) was affected with I believe two blatantly wrong fumble/nonfumble calls. I can see why people would throw it out there as a possibility, as ridiculous as it might be. [/QUOTE]
