It was the best defensive game the Spartans have played all year..

Both sides of the Spartan Ball played exceptional.

But, watching from my section.. it was the worst officiated gamee I have seen in 30 years !

Not sour grapes, but a call for the Big Ten to do something about the unprofessional men in zebra outfits calling the games. Please help !
 
Iowa is a good team, BUT... they should have lost. Unfortunately, due to referee incompetence, they had extra time, and ridiculous calls in their favor.

Its a crime when the referees impact a games outcome by their ineptness. MSU and Iowa, played their hearts out, the referees stole the game.

The personal foul against Jeremy Ware was pure crap, and kept the Iowa drive alive. This bad call in such a tight game can and did change the complexion in a huge defensive battle.

I am pure heart sick over this one.. . more so than CMU, the Irish or Wisc.. This one was clearly stolen.  Something needs to be done, the Zebra's need training, study, seminars, clinics, classes, something.. they SUCK !
