Statement About Officiating in EWU-UM Football Game
Jon Kasper - Big Sky Conference
10/20/2009

OGDEN, UTAH (Oct. 20, 2009) - Following a review of the Eastern Washington-University of Montana Big Sky Conference football game, the league has issued a statement in regards to the contest’s quality of officiating.
Third-ranked Montana beat Eastern Washington 41-34 in Missoula on Saturday, Oct. 17.
“The officiating in Saturday’s EWU-UM game was not up to the standards we expect and require,’’ said Big Sky Conference Commissioner Doug Fullerton. “Our officials are evaluated on every play of every game by observers in the stadium and by independent film evaluators - many with NFL experience - following the games. There are consequences for officials after they are examined.’’
Several plays were reviewed by the conference, its director of football officials Doug Toole, and independent observers. The league found two calls against Eastern Washington particularly troubling.
In the fourth quarter, an Eastern Washington player was called for a late hit out of bounds. The penalized player, however, was illegally blocked in the back by a Montana player, propelling him in to a Montana player out of bounds.
Late in the third quarter an Eastern Washington wide receiver was called for unsportsmanlike conduct as he slowed down on his way to the end zone. His actions, however, did not warrant the penalty.
“We continue to examine at least four more plays,’’ said Big Sky Conference Commissioner Doug Fullerton. “We don’t normally comment on officiating, nor do we plan to regularly do so in the future. However, there are cases where it is warranted, and this is one.’’
“We’re disappointed about the performance, but like the student-athletes and coaches who play the game, we look forward to the next game and getting it right,’’ Fullerton added. “I believe our officiating ranks among the best in the Football Championship Subdivision, if not all of Division I football.”

No wonder it's so hard to win there.

 

[Wildcat 4Ever]

can coach mac request a non conference crew to ref our game? i don't trust anyone or anything in Missoula, especially because this game has a HUGE impact for us.

 

[wordup]

Remember 2007 offensive pass interference call on the 1 yard line in the 4th quarter with Weber down 8 points? Officials admitted they made a mistake on that call. It lost the Cats the game.

Was that the play where Toone was treated like a sheep by them Montana men?

That has got to be one of the worst calls in Big Sky history. I for one don't want any Big Sky officials anywhere near WA-Grizz on the 31st. For that game, the Sky needs to petition the NCAA to bring in the best.

This is the best possible news for the Wildcats! :!:

With all this league scrutiny on officiating in Missoula coming less than two weeks before the next home game at WA GRIZ, the officials should be on their best possible behavior. WSU now has the greatest chance in years to get fair and square refs at Montana.

BUT first we have to WIN in Greeley! :ugeek:

 

[everettgriz]

Yeah, because every game played elsewhere in the BSC is officiated so well. :roll: :roll:

Hell, in last year's game in Ogden, the Griz got the shaft so regularly and so often that I was wondering when the officials were simply going to stop the charades and just take off the zebra shirts to reveal the wrinkled white dress shirt, the out-of-fashion black tie, the backpack and the ridiculously oversized name tag that reads "Brother Bob" from whatever temple or parrish or whatever they're called he hails from.

At least this year, you won't have any excuses for that long bus ride home after the Griz beat down.

In Ogden last year, the Jizz got beat, plain and simple, nothing fancy, just beat. Sorry, I didn't get to see you there, but then again I wasn't looking for some ten gallon hat wearing, shiny belt buckled, tobacco chewing, cousin kissing, brother marrying broke back wanna be in the stands.....

October 31st can't come soon enough, just play the game.......try to beat us but don't cheat us. it is public knowledge that the EWU game was QUESTIONABLE at best, and down at NAU, that catch appeared to be out of bounds, but then again........it's the Jizz.

You should be proud that winning is everything for you, at all costs, at the integrity of the game with an arrogant coach who feels he is above the law......you have some great players.......but if they gotta cheat to win........how great is that.

your perception is just that, your perception..and that is your truth, so be it. just play the game...........

 

[Da Griz]

Nearly every team feels they've been screwed by the refs, and at nearly every game. The same thing happens to us.

“We continue to examine at least four more plays".

Who knows but what the "other plays" might be questionable calls against the Griz... God knows we thought there were plenty!

Everybody may be right, and everybody may be wrong. Most likely everybody has about the same reason to gripe. No doubt just as many refs would love to see the Griz lose as win. The only know fact is you've always got to beat the refs.

wrinkled white dress shirt, the out-of-fashion black tie, the backpack and the ridiculously oversized name tag that reads "Brother Bob" from whatever temple or parrish or whatever they're called he hails from.

[weberwildcat]

We just can't afford to be in a close game if we want to win, the refs will screw it up worse than 2007.

 

[Da Griz]

We just can't afford to be in a close game if we want to win, the refs will screw it up.

Funny... I've heard the same thing up here.

LOL


I only have 1 reason to dislike the griz and its when its griz week!

 

[weberwildcat]

seems like every one on both sides are expecting a high scoring close game.

Last year in Missoula the wildcats just got beat, hard, not even close. every aspect the griz owned. for a state like yours your prob not one to make jokes about marrying people. you should feel that putting in a WR that has a felony in the game just so you could beat UM even though it didnt help. dont talk about the law....and BH did nothing against the law. we dont or have never cheated. name one CHEAT that the griz have ever done. and if you say a penalty...penalty is not cheating you get punished for that and so it is paid for.....i guess they dont teach that to you. maybe its something you pick up when you win 17 years in a row.

 

[weberdude]

Yet another statistical category in which UM reigns supreme: Conviction-to-Assault ratio. It's well below every other team in the conference. They're THAT good.

"I promised Bobby Hauck I would not talk about it."

Father of the University of Montana student who got his face kicked in by at least two members of the UM football team. I'll just take a wild guess and say that he'll be sitting in new box seats for the Weber State game.

"I'm not going to say my son LIKES the taste of shoe leather, but we all love grizzlee football so there are certain sacrifices to be made."

 

[mtgrizfankb1]

500 says he is nowhere near a box seat and you have no idea....all the nation knew about this story. next time a person on the WSU campus gets in a fight i hope they make a milestone of it. BH did what he was suppose to and talked to the kid. you have no idea what went on in the discussion the fact that the kid didnt even want to file for a police report...mean that it all was a little overrated.

 

[weberwildcat]

Please tell me this quote is not real:

"I'm not going to say my son LIKES the taste of shoe leather, but we all love grizzlee football so there are certain sacrifices to be made."

 

[weberdude]

No, that last quote is not real. I should have included a disclaimer footnote so this was clear. It just fits the tone of actual quote so well.

entertainment, i see your Head Coach has finally succumbed to the NATIONAL PRESSURE to talk to all media and to stop acting like a spoiled child.

in missoula last year in the playoffs there were 2 CALLS, that were wrong....Nakamura's fumble after he bounced on the ground TWICE, and Higgins fumble when it was a FORWARD PASS. if you weren't herding sheep, i am sure you were at the game and saw it, but don't admit to it......everyone who is NOT a Jizzly fan knows the truth.

which only brings to light the opinion of the Big Sky conference of BAD calls duing 3 Jizzly games this year....it's ok to support the team........ and i'll always say, 'you can beat us, but don't cheat us'...

saturday cannot come soon enough to settle this on the field. my wish for a non conference referee crew will be only that, a non wish......but i hope there is enough scrutiny that they will be fair. by the way....i hear the motto of some of your players....' if you're not balling, you're brawling....' isn't that special.

see you saturday and all your kissing cousins..........

 

[talhadfoursteals]

mtgrizfankb, What the hell are you smoking? Yes, Weber lost that game, and they may have been beaten, but by no means did UM beat the CATS, as you say, "hard." And yes, unfortunately for you, dickless, the game was very close, unlike a beat down that occurred earlier in the season in Ogden (45-28). Montana, won that game due to Weber's uncanny ability to turn the ball over in big games, but even then, the game was close; 24-13 is not a blowout, douche bag.
