Why Your Michigan State Friend is in a Grumpy Mood Today [Video]

The Michigan State Spartans may have had their College Football Playoffs hopes snatched from their reach Saturday when an incredibly bad call didn't go their way.

Now they have no choice but to win the rest of their games, and hope the teams in front of them lose theirs.

Is it just me or have both the college and pro referees been screwing up big time this season? Even with the use of instant replay, they can't seem to get things right.

Don’t believe me? Then just ask any Spartan in East Lansing – or anywhere in the country for that matter – how they feel about Saturday’s 39-38 loss in the final seconds of their game to the Cornhuskers in Nebraska. It knocked State from the ranks of the undefeated while kicking every one of their fans in the nether regions.

Credit Nebraska for coming back in the final minute and forty-seven seconds to score 13-points for the win, but credit the refs for completely missing a call with 17-seconds left when Nebraska QB Tommy Armstrong Jr. hit Brandon Reilly for a 30-yard TD.

But here’s the thing: Reilly stepped out of bounds on the play—making him an ineligible receiver—before he came back in bounds to catch the TD.

The only thing I hate more than the instant replay delays that are omnipresent at every game are plays where they fail to use it properly. This play was an abomination—somebody needs a suspension.
