Because what I see watching on TV will have nothing to do with the outcome. I can’t do a thing. Neither can you. So, while you harp on the refs 100 times in 2 hours, I watch for how BYU adjusts to everything happening in the game. This includes defense, offense of BYU, and the other team and the referees. See, the “ best team” isn’t just who shoots the best, free throws shooting, turnovers, etc. “Best team” includes the mental responses to adversities during the game. So, while you’re burning up your ulcer over referees, I’m cheering for the team and enjoying the game.
It’s funny when you keep saying you just want referees to be equally fair and objective toward both teams and that is not too much to expect. You should know by now that it actually is and you can’t do a thing about it. That’s why I say, I can’t do a thing. Neither can you.

Worst post of the year and it’s only March…
How is that not something that every fan out there should expect? That is EXACTLY what the job of an official is! It is exactly what we should all EXPECT! Every official who officiates any game anywhere is bound by that expectation. What in the world are you talking about?
Nice. Take a sentence out of context… Uggg…

Yeah that was a bummer but it happened to BYU in the previous game vs. Wisconsin as well. Hey, I realize that BYU is a different animal, what with our ties to the church, the honor code, and the other weird (by society’s standards) stuff that we do like not smoking, drinking or using addictive drugs, but this is basketball.
There is no good reason for the officials to hold the players on BYU’s teams to any different standard than they use for their opponents and the rest of the college athletics teams. But… they do and this is what we are left with. I think I texted the Hopper during the game saying I hope Tony Padilla will be objective and fair with BYU this game, particularly since he had done so many of their games during the Big 12 season. I little bit later I texted him that my hopes were not realistic and Padilla was up to his same tricks.
Oh well, some things never change in spite of our hope that they might.
Maybe you could provide some MORE context to help clarify what you wrote because I am pretty sure that is EXACTLY what everyone who read the post thought you meant.
So there is the quote again. You have another chance to put it in context so we all understand.
