I thought that the officiating was questionable and for once in our favor. Why didn't they measure that 4th and inches before the fake punt false start. They did get the false start right but it took a long time for the flag to come out. I thought that if a coach requested measurment they had to do it.

Just reported on the news was that Coach McBride was suspended for the comments that he made regarding the officiating at this weekends game. I guess age isn't always the sign of wisdom.

"The wind was no factor. The fake punt was a factor," said Weber head coach Ron McBride. "That was a huge factor."

With about eight minutes left in the game, a false-start penalty brought back an apparent first-down run by linebacker Tyler DeBry, the upback in punt formation who moved up quickly under center to fool the MSU defense and convert a 4th-and-inches situation at the Weber 29.

DeBry would have had a first down at about the Weber 40, but the play was brought back. What was McBride told by the officials?

"He said 'The left tackle moved,' " McBride said. "And the left tackle didn't do anything."

"Second half, Montana State did nothing. They made one drive," McBride said. "We pretty much had control of it. But you've got to win on the scoreboard. All that other stuff doesn't matter."

"We can only blame ourselves,” WSU head coach Ron McBride said. “In the second half, Montana State did nothing. They went three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out."

“Bo Smith’s a better corner than that Jefferson’s a wideout,” McBride said. “He had no game at all.”

"Give Weber State credit. They were making the plays," Kramer said. "It's not us, as much as it was a great effort by the Wildcats."

"He's a veteran coach and veteran coaches know what the heck they're doing," Kramer said. "We said this would be a migraine game all week long and it turned out to be just that."

BozoneCat wrote:I for one am ecstatic to see that McBride was suspended. He was a complete jackass after this game, not only did he whine endlessly about the officiating, but he also insulted our players. I like him about as much as I like Bobby Hauck - and you all know how wild I am about ol' Bobby! If you want to talk about terrible calls by the refs that made the game much closer than it could/should have been, how about the punt that bounced off a Weber player and recovered by us but blown by the refs, or the horribly obvious non-call of pass interference by Weber on one of our players in the end-zone (can't remember who), on a drive that ended with a missed FG.

Here are some of McWhine's comments after the game:

Just for comparison, Kramer's comments after the game:

That's the type of thing that would make me want to aim for him on a play close to the sidelines when we meet them in the playoffs. Oops, I mean when we play them next year at their house. I forgot for a minute that Weber can't even get a sniff at the playoffs. I would, however, ignore that urge. See, you can want to do something and not do it. The same way you can want to say something and not say it. Clown.

On the radio, Attebery and Davies indicated that the penalty was right, just the wrong player. They said DeBry was still in forward motion when he took the snap.

So, moot point. Right call for the wrong reason.
