Then you haven't been on the basketball board much have you? Throughout the years there have been a number of threads regarding terrible officiating.
I'm sure it has but the basketball threads came to my mind first. I can only speak for myself but for all officials it's about competency. Right now she isn't very good. Maybe she'll grow and improve. Hopefully that'll happen.
Go to the "search" at the top of the page. Type in the word "referee" and see how many threads appear on the football board about officiating. Complaining about referees is an art form for RU fans. Not only do we go after individual officials but sometimes condemn full crews.
The difference here is for the men, there was never a suggestion that they were undeserving of their job. Even though they were categorically horrible. Boroski being the most obvious example. Most of the criticism here is purely agenda driven by the usual suspects on the CEsspool.
I’m not saying anything besides the picture of his proof wasn’t clear at all and was looking for more clear evidence she stunk. Like I also said there were a number of blown calls in the game. I had a feeling the OP was confusing her with the ref from the Temple game and I was correct.
She is a MAC ref not a BIG ref, and if she happened to do another BIG game I watched, I didn’t notice her either way. Please expand on all of the horrible calls you have seen her make on another BIG game, I am all ears.
Ok I digress your support of her is plain to see.
No … everyone knows the why’s and how comes? Have you watched TV lately? Going out of one’s way to attempt to sway public support of an agenda literally waters down the effort or this goal to revamp a global world where people are all on the same level. How many people actually believe that’s for the best? It all sounds good until it impacts someone of a higher status.People who work hard , respect each other’s voice and property should be able to rise to a level everyone values.
That is interesting.
Again - I do not have an opinion on her either way. I saw one call that she made that was wrong. I can say that I beleive the woman you are speaking of is another ref that happens to be a Big 10 ref, which I would agree with you, she is horrible. This ref I have not seen enough of to make and educated opinion.
Getting high school officiating assignments or lack of at times can be political or money related. If they add another referee to the mix you are taking money out of someone's pocket when he/she is assigned a game. I have almost 15 years experience officiating swim meets including being head official and starter up to the junior olympic level with invites to officiate USA nationals. Yet I couldn't sniff a high school assignment because, as I said earlier, I would be taking money out of someone's pocket who otherwise may have been assigned.
I'm shocked Jerry McGinn never had his own thread. Every Big Ten fanbase sighs when they see him take the field.
I also officiated HS sports for over 30 years but basketball. I have never heard of anyone officiating in sports like baseball, basketball and football at the college level after working just one HS game at the varsity level.
Usual suspects… Kudos for putting them in their place.You mad, bros?
Nothing funnier than watching scared old white dudes crying "unfair" about leveling the playing field. Because it's only now that race or gender is a factor in hiring trends? Surely that never happened before in the history of the nation.
I mean, not all too long ago, when it was mostly only white males getting all the jobs, every employee everywhere was 100% competent, amirite? That wasn't unfair at all. Noooooo.
There is something not right if someone that did one varsity high school football game starts getting college assignments.
Amazing how you can actually see thru the monitor.You mad, bros?

Hmmm.. think she fudged a resume somewhere? Was once asked to handle chains at her kids' game?
If only it was leveling the playing field. It is destroying the scoreboard and declaring a victor with no game being played.
Because that particular ref - male, female, she/he/her/him/it/iz/ez/whatever or otherwise - SIMPLY IS NOT GOOD AT THEIR JOB (and likely was brought up to the FBS ranks too soon). Pretty simple.
Right. So let’s say that and leave it at that.
Both female officials who have reffed games of ours this season have sucked. Coincidence, sure, but it IS noticeable and something to be discussed IMHO. As others have noted: are they simply being promoted too soon? I'm all for females officials, have ZERO issue with it, BUT let's not cut corners to bring them up faster.
