Minnesota teams getting screwed and causing a rule change is a long tradition.

2008: Twins lose a coin flip vs White Sox and have to play on the road in game 163 despite beating them in season series. Rule gets changed

2009: Phil Cuzzie calls Joe Mauer's double 2 feet inside the line in the play-offs a foul ball. MLB gets replay.

2010: Vikings get screwed in OT of NFC Championship game. Rule gets changed.

And who would have thought that it would be us to get screwed? So, this is The BIG10's new way of sending an apology letter, by making it appear that they are actually doing us a favor? Thanks BIG10, no harm no foul, we get it.
I have said for a long time that if we are going to beat Michigan or Ohio State by one point we have to outplay them by 8.

Too little, too late. There’s no good reason EVERY call shouldn’t be reviewable. It’s a fast-moving game and refs are human. They get things wrong. Besides the players being treated right, there’s HUGE money at stake with some of these games. Video review should ALWAYS be available to back up the refs.

you cant have every play reviewable, the game would never end. Maybe the last 2 minutes of the half. Even though the gophers lost their opportunity to try and tie or win the game, at some point you have to accept the human element of the game. Not sure why players and coaches can make mistakes all game long, but no one can tolerate it when the refs make an error.
 


You can’t have every play reviewable, but in that case there was a play stoppage and replays everywhere. The powers that be could have fixed it in 15 seconds. Then again they still screwed Virginia Tech against Miami so…..there’s that.

There was a rule change after an onside kick against iowa involving Kim Royston, but I can’t recall the details.

That close to the end of the game and the impact tells me that this would be a case where one would consider.

I think most of us agree. Clearly that kick was within the two minute window.

Blaming the refs for a loss is Loser Talk, plain and simple

I'm not blaming the loss on the refs. Who knows what would have happened in the next few plays. There is no guarantee that we would have made a field goal or scored a TD. But at that point in the game, to make a questionable call, which denys the players a chance to determine the winner on the field, is disappointing. Let's win next week. Go Gophers!

No doubt, IMO, we would have scored a TD. They were gassed and outplayed by that point.

Offsides is a live ball foul where the play continues. It should be reviewable. Especially in the last two minutes.
