Cappy hear me out 😂. So I’ve gone to almost every home games for 20 years and always felt a couple refs have something against NU. The worst being Larry Scirotto, thank god Boroski and Hightower retired. Against Ohio State he was downright awful once again making calls against us that made zero sense. He did it again tonight in the Indiana game. I then happened to see this interesting tidbit about his personal life.


If he couldn’t conduct his personal life without bias why is he allowed to ref major games. Call me crazy but has anyone talked about this? If you can’t tell I really despise the guy every time I walk into Welsh Ryan and see he’s doing one of our games, but he really does call two different games and never give us the same treatment as other B1G schools.

I think he just sucks at being a referee.

As a gay, bi-racial Italian, he is a member of the oppressed class and thus incapable of being racist.

I thought Fran was going to jump him last night. His rubber face was twisting into grotesque rage. Reminded me of that scene in Total Recall where Ahnuld is disguised as a woman until his head pops off and explodes.

I'll allow it 🤣. I've always felt that he's had short-guy syndrome and compensates by power-tripping on the court.

Was this guy responsible for calling off the tech against Fran? What a joke. IU fans should rightly be furious today

I don't know who called what fouls but Indiana should have to walk home after losing that game. Now Fran's over the top behavior will be seen as motivating. Ugggg.

On another topic, Sensibaugh on OSU is an out of world talent. OSU has some ballplayers. Purdue is Edey and a couple of three point shooters.
