Yup. This was the year I started believing refs could be bought or were inherently biased. And then I got to know some officials, and they confirmed that many people in the business are fans who influence games (or are bought off).

It was so egregious that Michigan changed their officiating agreement with us after that game such that B1G officials were no longer allowed to call the games at their place.

I expect serious home (away?) cooking from the B1G refs this year in this final game.

I think refs can be influenced, but it's more from the emotions of the crowd and not favoritism.

LOL at Kelly lumping Michigan and Michigan St together when asked if he looks at the Michigan game as something special, given his personal history in the State of Michigan. Seems like he's really taking pains to downplay "the last game" angle; Michigan seems to be playing it to the hilt. Wonder which is the right way to play it?
