now if he had played the ball, Karno may have scored any way, so it was a good decision. There was no malevolent intent because Mika should have tried to play the ball more. I find no fault with the call nor Mika's play.

It cracks me up how offended and up in arms Zags fans are about Mika grabbing...

It was intentional, but not flagrant, IMO. No harm intended, even tried to

That kind of foul happens in pick up ball all the time

That was called a flagrant? I totally disagree with that call.

Meh. He wasn't making a play on the ball. It was a fair call.

Wouldn't have been called if he wouldn't have gone to the ground.

exactly. przemek was just off balance and went down. That is the only reason

It was a Flagrant 1 foul, intentional, but no intent to hurt the opponent.

Fans overreacting to a bad play by an opponent. Not really new.

I thought there'd be more reaction to Emery giving five afterwards

Emery slapped Mika's hand after the flagrant – nothing much but it's there

They are the Zags. Not the Utes.

Ya I thought the high five was pretty distasteful.

Looked like a total flop by Karnowski

It was a flop....definite foul by Mika, no question, but no way...

WJCougar

Same when Mika caught him in the jaw... He flailed to the floor.

Count Cougar

2/26/17 4:06pm

not sure about that, elbows to the Jaw hurt

Cougarclaw

2/26/17 7:29pm

He was mad because he was getting owned

tcherrin

2/26/17 5:26pm

But it wasn't "the right call." Not flagrant at all.

If that is "the right call" then I feel sorry for the future of sports.

Hard to say, but it seems like Zags fans are a bit thin skinned

No any more so then BYU fans. BYU fans have reacted similarly.

Mika should lay off the little dude and pick on someone his own size.

Crush4

2/26/17 4:06pm

Refs didn't notice when Karnowski's knees ended up on Mika on that loose ball

That was a flagrant? What a joke. That was a total flop.

Kerbouchard

2/26/17 8:05pm

Flagrant doesn't mean violent. It means he didn't make a play on the ball

Schultz is back

2/26/17 8:38pm

Yep...and Mika had a foul to give at the time.

Cthack1

2/26/17 8:47pm

This has been Zag fans complaint for a long time

Count Cougar

2/26/17 8:52pm

Agreed, but BYU fans would've called Karny out too had he done the same thing, given similar circumstances

ocmyhome

2/26/17 11:06pm

If Mika had one hand on the ball and the other hand on Karnowski's arm

2/26/17 11:42pm

It's what the ref decides was the intent

SingleStrapBackpack

2/27/17 12:14am

But only called because he went to the ground.

ochobeeguy

2/27/17 8:35am

Yeah, I'm sure that figured into it

SingleStrapBackpack

2/27/17 9:43am

When Mika had his monster block, you would have thought Mika punched

oryguncoug

2/27/17 9:58am

I thought they would be mad at Mika embarrassing their other guy
