Did anyone else see that blatant facemask the occurred with about a minute and a half left in the Ohio State game against Iowa earlier today? You know what I'm talking about - the one that left Corey Brown down on the field after the play. The one that a penalty WASN'T called on, even though a ref was standing ten feet away and looking directly at it?
Add that in with the helmet-to-helmet offenses that occurred when the Cleveland Browns played the Pittsburgh Squealers, I mean, Steelers, that went practically unpenalized (a slap on the wrist fine after the game isn't a penalty) and it kind of makes you wonder why everyone hates Ohio.
Face it, anyone playing a game against an Ohio-based team can pull all of the dirty moves that they want, and they will get away with it. It's like the ref's pull their blinders on and say, "Hey, the Brown's are going to lose anyway, so why bother."
If it were a Browns player tackling one of the Steelers and knocking him unconscious, watch how quickly that player would be penalized both on the field and off. If one of Ohio State's players tackled an opposing teammate by brutally grabbing his facemask and whipping him to the ground, see what consequences would unfold.
If it's against Ohio, however, they can get away with it. What, do we not offer fancy enough catering or fitting accommodations? We're like the underdogs of the country. What do they have against us? Your thoughts?
