That's why I don't hold it against guys who don't play in bowl games. Thorson may have just lost a lot of money.
Saw that when it happened live. Horrible decision by that ref. Only thing I can come up with is that the RB must have said something to the ref, after the RB got hit well after the whistle. Regardless, it seems to be a bad call by the ref.

Huh, pretty ridiculous. Not really sure what that ref was attempting to do, maybe he went to get the ball? But the player clearly grabbed his arm and looks to push him away so he can’t say he didn’t do anything. Can’t touch the refs, it’s a penalty every time. An injection though? That’s absurd, ref got in his personal space.
Larry Scott is totally going to address the clear officiating issues any year now.

I imagine they’ll announce it with the directv deal.
What I’ve seen on Twitter is that they’re Big 12 refs, not Pac 12

It's the same ref from the CSU game
Weird that multiple college football people were saying B12

Chris Coyte, a pac12 ref. Supposedly the kid grabbed his arm, very strange as the ref initiated the contact

I really don’t understand everyone losing their mind over the referee, he grabbed the referees arm and it was lightly. Its in the rule book, you CANNOT forcibly touch the referee, penalty is an automatic disqualification. The ref is a douche for getting in his way and then throwing the flag but he should have just said no and got up on his own. I don’t see it as egregious as everyone else.

The ref extended his arms towards the kid as he was getting up, kid was pissed the ref didn't throw the flag for late hit. Not like the kid pushed or punched the ref

I look at it like this. The ref is the boss, you don’t **** with the boss. If you do, you pay the consequences. He touched the ref by grabbing his wrist. I think it’s ridiculous too but it’s in the rules and if your going to be stupid and touch the ref you better know he has the power to discipline you. He has no one to blame but himself on this one.
I would agree if the ref didn't put his arms out
I mostly agree with Buffaholic that bowl games are a grab bag of desire and teams that don’t care, but the Pac 12 current trajectory makes me feel even worse about the Buffs 2-7 conference record. At some point, the law of averages does take over. We were seriously bad this year - WTF.

That’s what bothers me about that replay, it’s so weird. Just throwing out the fact that he grabbed the ref so while stupid, he should have kept his hands to himself. He put himself at the mercy of a douche.
The ref made the correct call in both the Snell ejection and the targeting call. In the Snell case, the official didn't initiate the contact. Snell very clearly crabbed his wrists. Even if the ref was extending his hand to help him up the player is the one that created the confrontation.
The targeting call was clearly a crown of helmet rule and anyone who disagrees with the call doesn't understand the rule or its purpose.
I keep wondering how many brain cells I would be required to lose in order to become a football commentator / writer, because based on the hot takes it would seem to be all of them.

As I typed this, pick 6 by NW
LJ Scott coming back is huge news. Bachie a beast too.
And Lewerke finally changed that douchey haircut and went full blue-collar and balled out. Looks like a 10 win schedule for them too.
