Wow... Rod Gilmore doubling down on his stupidity.

And some on CB are trying to defend him. Complete clown.

I think his points are valid... I’m glad they didn’t call that PI

Refs should call all fouls, regardless of the time or score in the game. It's

here's to hoping

10/25/20 6:32am

Yeah, you don't stop being a referee just because one team is up big. An obvious foul is still a foul.

You also don’t stop being a human with a brain just bc you’re a referee (wait...

Pretorian

10/25/20 8:53am

How is your approach fair for the 2nd and 3rd stringers that get very limited opportunities to show what they can do?

slatecoug

Hmmm I wonder how you vote.

Ash

10/25/20 1:49pm

If it was Alabama instead of BYU it would have been called PI. 100%.

The punt fake was too much. I get it.

That’s not what’s upsetting most people

Coug-Ida

I’m not going to defend Gilmore bc

Pretorian

10/25/20 5:52pm

The ONLY defense that Gilmore has related to his comments...

Eddie

10/26/20 10:59am

No, those were two different plays. They did call the PI with the interception in or near the south end zone.

Yllage Vidiot

You are not human.

Sometimes it’s lonely when you’re the only sane person around

That is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard in my lifetime.

This is idiotic. You aren’t idiotic. But this point is.

You’re right, we should all cry on a national level about a missed call At the

Pretorian

10/25/20 8:50am

That is a very different point than "I'm glad they didn't call that a PI" which is, frankly, really dumb

YIsForBrigham

10/25/20 8:52am

It’s the exact same point... it WAS PI and it shouldn’t have been called yet

Pretorian

10/25/20 8:56am

No it is not. "I'm glad they didn't call a blatant PI" is much dumber than "We should stop whining about it"

You can’t remove the fact we were totally dominating the game... along with

How is it that winning isn’t enough for you people? We cry about ridiculous stuf

Pretorian

10/25/20 8:52am

Why would you alter a rule based on the score?

byucougs9

10/25/20 9:44am

I’m not changing the rule, it’s just being aware of what’s around you

If this was happening all over I’d be with you but

Pretorian

10/25/20 11:38am

I think it can be insulting to let up.Its ok to put in the 4th string and score.

ParentingNotForSissy

10/25/20 9:41am

I agree, who wants the team to let up?

Pretorian

10/25/20 11:39am

It creates a dangerous environment

WP17

10/25/20 9:57am

Was this game even close to getting out of hand? No it wasn’t... had they missed

Pretorian

10/25/20 11:42am

That’s the point... it wasn’t out of hand so why give any room for it to get there.

WP17

10/25/20 12:05pm

It wasn’t out of hand, it wasn’t close to out of hand, it was one missed call...

If the ref calls the PI, the fake punt never happens.

I fell asleep but if we did a fake punt that’s crossing the lines

It wasn't a big deal and it wasn't called. It was the punter calling his own #

10/25/20 7:34am

I agree with Rod. Crap like that gives BYU a bad look. Glad they didn’t call.

Robert Baratheon

10/25/20 7:38am

If it's not first string it doesn't matter. Just because BYU is up doesn't mean

byucougs9

10/25/20 7:41am

Yep. His reasoning was that the rules don't apply if you're up big. Dumb.

Harbinger

10/25/20 7:46am

BYU created a no win situation by throwing long. This is the first self issue.

Robert Baratheon

10/25/20 1:54pm

Ummm no. You run your plays until ~5 minutes to go in the 4th. There were over 8

What's worse is Justin Fields was still in the game until the last few minutes.

No PI was the wrong call & he DID acknowledge it in the game, as he's saying.

Good for him for being so kind as to humor our dumber fans.

cougargollum

10/25/20 11:05am

I agree that going after him on Twitter isn't a good look.

Ungoy

10/25/20 11:10am

I completely agree.

cougargollum

10/25/20 11:20am

i think what people are missing is that the refs are there to maintain control.

ImuaKahuku

10/25/20 11:16am

A foul is a foul. You don't NOT call roughing the passer because they're ahead.

Speedy

10/25/20 11:55am

And then when it’s not called you move on like grown adults

I can give you a former referee's perspective

shakarocks

10/25/20 12:37pm

I think how bad that PI was would be reason to call (like you suggested). As to

If the officials would take responsibility for their calls and quit huddling after every call we would knock lots of

Rhino84

10/25/20 12:47pm

Your comment has nothing to do with mine

shakarocks

10/25/20 12:52pm

You said refs are trained to keep their flags in their pockets to speed up games that are out of hand. My point is

Rhino84

10/25/20 1:21pm

This smacks of the "unwritten rules" fiasco in baseball. Officiate the game straight up, for Pete's sake! Stupid refs.

Yllage Vidiot

10/25/20 1:22pm

Of course it does. Over the course of decades the games and how they are

shakarocks

10/25/20 1:52pm

So let me make sure I understand: Refs can see a clear penalty in front of them and decide not to call it based on the

That is ridiculous. It's not the ref's job to determine when a team is being

westsidecoug

10/25/20 2:21pm

Then you don't have a refined understanding of what officials are there to do

shakarocks

Well then you are part of the problem as well as those refs yesterday. 😂 Not

westsidecoug

You are over exaggerating.

10/26/20 12:30am

No I'm really not.

shakarocks

10/26/20 12:32am

That is your opinion, but I and many other officials don't agree with your assessment.

slatecoug

10/26/20 12:20am

It's not an opinion

shakarocks

10/26/20 12:36am

Yeah...people definitely need to let it go (including Rod). No need to blast

10/25/20 12:44pm

Flags are a TV rating killer in a blowout. I think it’s that simple.

Robert Baratheon

10/27/20 7:26pm

After 10pm, the only people watching a blowout are fans of the teams playing.

Eddie

Running plays produce more injuries. So he's wrong there too. He's a moron.
