College referees hold home-team bias

Fewer fouls called on home team

This season as an example, three of our five games this year this is true with the exceptions being the Oklahoma and Hampton games. In four of our five games, the team that won had less fouls with the exception being Oklahoma (go figure)

I saw this last night and forgot to post it. It is a good read though. I thought about our games with BU and OU at the stu where they got called for a bunch of fouls early on yet by the end of the half the foul totals had nearly evened out. Then in the second half of the OU game they were down and got all of the calls. I agree with the article, play hard because they tend to even out any way (just don't get your bigs into foul trouble).

The fault goes to Manny Upton being Manny Upton for the Hampton game. If he is involved, we always are in for a slop fest game with tons of fouls.

So, it seems like its poop on me day today. I'm sorry for seeing Manny Upton.
