Pretty good angle of the Thomas Robinson charge and subsequent Gipson technical. Sway any opinions on either call?
I think we've all agreed that the technical was probably a bit much. Bill Self seems to say to the official that it wasn't a charge and I really think Robinson's reaction is due to the fact that he thought it was an and one and then realizes it was a charge a moment later.

it may have been borderline
but I don’t think the T was unwarranted. Getting up, menacing and barking in a dude’s face, especially on who is walking away is bush league.
It doesn’t always get called but it is in the realm of a technical foul in my opinion.

Frank Martin
mentioned in his post game that Gipson used ‘curse’ or ‘cuss’ words.
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Gonna agree with Coach Self
That’s not a charge.
"No time for questions. No time for games. Start kickin' ass and takin' down the names." - Dave Mustaine.
close call
it looked like one live to me so I have no problem with the charge call. Looked less like a charge to me with that angle but who knows.
As for the T I definitely liked it getting called but I would have been livid if the situation was reversed so I guess I’m saying it probably wasn’t the greatest call on earth
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
It’s a charge. It’s a charge because a guy doesn’t have to actually establish positioning anymore they just have to get there first and he was outside of the charging arc or whatever the heck they call it.
As for the T, I am fine with that because the guy was either attempting to instigate, or, whatever he was doing could have been seen as such.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
i think the charge rules need to be looked at
Gibson jumps in front of Trob for the sole purpose of flopping. You can even see his foot on the half circle. I understand the ref doesnt have this view and has to make a snap decision in front of a huge crowd but if its close shouldn’t the tie go to the offense?
lucky
Easily could have been a double T in my opinion. In isolation that would seem wrong, but this is at least the third time TRob has stood over or similarly walked over an opposing player sometimes with an emphatic stomp next to the player for good measure. It’s taunting and I’m not sure who could disagree with that. I realize Gipson grabbed at him, but would he have done so if Thomas wasn’t standing over him getting ready to stare him down or celebrate his and one? Make no mistake, he is going to get T’d for that if he keeps it up. It’s not going to be new to the refs if he continues to do it. It’s a bad look anyway.

I don't know that I see stomping...
I know what you’re talking about in previous games, but there are only so many ways to move a size 18 shoe attached to 250 pounds of muscle, and I don’t think he did anything untoward that time
What does a man have to do around here to get a championship?
Hit me up on twitter: @RockChalkChief
The only stomp was b/c TRob's leg got grabbed as he was stepping away
If the official saw the grab, that might have been enough to T up Gipson – a little light, but not totally unwarranted.

I agree
T-Rob, IMO, has had a few close calls with what could be considered taunting after a play. This is borderline for me, because he did not stare him down or jaw at him. But, he did stand over Gipson too long.
There was a similar situation in the Okie State game. The announcers even mentioned it when comparing to the taunts called on Okie State earlier in the year.
Hopefully, Danny or Self addresses it, so we don’t get a cheap T at a critical point down the road.

In the Okie St game
I don’t feel like he was staring down the dude on the floor, I think he was looking down to make sure he didn’t step on him
The name of that song played at KC Comets games in the '80's was Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase." Now you know.
in isolation
an argument can be made that thomas hasn’t been out of line in these instances. I personally disagree with that assessment and I do want to give him the benefit of the doubt. objectively, though, i think it’s a pattern of taunting and it’s going to bite us if he doesn’t clean it up. he learned from the morri. a whistle for the T in last night’s game would have fouled him out. probably a loss if that happens and there is just no need.
T-Rob stomp at OkSt
I saw the stomp there. I don’t know if it was intentional but it could have been construed that way. I do think T-Rob actions could be considered taunting. In three instances now, he has landed standing over an opponent. Each time, he looks down to see where they are. His problem is he doesn’t take a side step to get out from over the over guy. Instead, he takes a step forward to over the other guy’s head. A “while you’re down there, look at my junk” move.

I think the charge call could have gone either way.
Don’t really have a problem with it.
I think the T was unwarranted based solely on the video, but I don’t know what words were yelled in anger so just have to trust the refs on that decision because of lack of evidence that they were wrong.
agreed on both counts

I support Kansas Athletics.
And last night’s win was very enjoyable for me.
Shit happens when you win championships
From this angle it looks like Gipson kicks TRob as he flops down.
Dunno, but it might explain the weirdness of the situation.
That is, how TRob is so “wow to hell with this guy” and, Gipson wasn’t provoked so much as just instigatin’, and how the refs had more to talk about than some mere swears.
Hadn't noticed that the first time.
Hard to ell if it’s intentional or not, but Gipson’s right leg comes close to making contact with T-Rob’s crotch (@ 10-11sec in the clip). Hard to say if it’s just the way he falls or it’s intentional, but it definitely could be the starting point of the entanglement.
by MichiganJayHawk on Feb 14, 2012 4:00 PM CST up reply actions
Here's what I personally see.
1. Play happens. Bad call, but whatever.
2. TRob, realizing it was a charge, stands still, not realizing he’s over Gipson.
3. If you look REAL closely, TRob starts to bring his hand down to HELP GIPSON UP, but Gipson opened his mouth, and TRob decides not to help him up.
4. Gipson shoves TRob’s leg away, resulting in a TRob stomp.
So yeah, I really don’t think TRob did anything here.

And it’s impossible to evaluate the technical without knowing what the refs heard.
No doubt close.....what makes no sense is
how this was called when three quarters of the game it was let them play hockey.
It’s clear what pissed Gibson off was TRob standing over him like Ali over Liston.

Fair enough
Let me rephrase my response then: don’t like to fall and go boom and end up looking up at the world…..don’t get in T-Rob’s way.
"No time for questions. No time for games. Start kickin' ass and takin' down the names." - Dave Mustaine.
I'm not seeing a flop
The guy is basically vertical until Robinson makes contact, and there’s plenty of hard contact there.
For a set, vertical guy,
his arms are pretty horizontal and his foot is pretty high off the ground
by sax solo on Feb 14, 2012 4:53 PM CST up reply actions 2 recs
I was saying that he didn't flop
He wasn’t leaning backward so that he’d fall over without absorbing much contact. He’s playing defense straight up and he goes down when a 250-lb man jumps into him.
As for the feet not being set, I think that would make a bigger difference on the charge/block call if T-Rob was trying to go around him and he slid underneath. Instead T-Rob went right through him, and I think it’s clear from this screenshot that Gipson was already there when T-Rob takes off.

Got it
Gipson was ‘menacing and barking’, ‘attempting to instigate’, ‘grabbed TRob’, ‘kicked TRob’, ‘may have kicked Trob in the nuts’, ‘shoves TRob away’, and ‘flopped’.
TRob was ‘walking away’, ‘doing nothing untoward’, ‘attempting to avoid stepping on him’, and ‘stood still, not realizing Gipson was there’.
Our fanbase cracks me up sometimes.
by kcgregory on Feb 14, 2012 4:39 PM CST reply actions 1 recs
lol yep
TRob can show some attitude that will get him in trouble. Usually he restrains himself, though he does brood on it, and it could get him more in trouble later.
Here though, TRob restrained himself and Gipson didn’t, so I think just one T was okay.
There's no hope for some children
"No time for questions. No time for games. Start kickin' ass and takin' down the names." - Dave Mustaine.
I read this and thought that this kid sounds like a spoiled brat.
Seriously, color the damn picture and move on. If my kid had been asked to color a wildcat or tiger and proceeded to act this way in class I would be pissed and my kid would be punished. Period.
You do not throw a tantrum and disrupt the class and on top of that then refuse to carry your stuff out. Sorry, but as the parent of a kindergartener who did have the same assignment it is all in fun. They are learning about the state they live in. However, our school was smarter about the whole thing and gave the children the option to color either a Jayhawk or Wildcat so this type of incident wouldn’t happen.
The fact it has gotten this much press is beyond absurd.
What? A girl who likes sports...INCONCEIVABLE!
I think it's cute

No harm done, and it’s one of the ways kids hold a mirror up to adult society and show us how weird we can be sometimes.
What does a Jayhawk have to do with this state?
Besides murdering cutthroats(fine one positive was they were against slavery) from the Civil War period, and a school that uses it as a mascot?

In all wars/violence a lot of either side wasn’t made of good people. Wars call for that, but the killing of innocents happened from either side. I mean sure there were good people fighting a righteous cause. But for a lot of them, the difference between Bushwackers and Jayhawkers wasn’t much. A lot of them were thieves and murderers on either side. The Jayhawkers reputation is better because the Government did finally reign them in. But Bushwackers didn’t burn Osceola.

Again besides lawless criminals
No it really isn’t a proud history. Unless we’re going to start calling John Brown a hero?

Well, there is a mural of him in the state capitol (at least there used to be)...
So the state, whose word is gold, views him as a legend/hero. Therefore, he must be a HERO!
What? A girl who likes sports...INCONCEIVABLE!
Not sure why you're so hung up on that
Yes, people killed eachother on both sides of the border and it was bad, people died. Bushwhackers, Border Ruffians and Jayhawks, guess what…it was war.
After the Civil War, the term Jayhawker was applied to Kansans in general and had nothing to do with the geurrilla fighters who used the same lexicon during the Bleeding Kansas days.
So, from one Jayhawker to another, get over yourself.
The name of that song played at KC Comets games in the '80's was Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase." Now you know.
I ain't a gaddamn Jayhawker neither was my family and that's a lie propagated by a massive conspiracy
And your telling me to get over myself? I have Ron Prince as my picture. I’m not sure I can get much more over myself.

My entire fandom life is a tragic comedy
1. K-State has never won a national title in sports(do not undervalue our ag related judging titles though sir)
2. The Royals suck
3. The Chiefs haven’t won a playoff game in how long?
4. My new English soccer team has done nothing but lose or draw since I decided I was a fan

Honestly not as much
I probably should, and I have been following the results a bit. I just continually find myself waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Admittedly
they’ve been close to unwatchable since the lockout and they still have some serious issues with payroll and ownership but they’ve been nothing short of a complete team since Hitchcock took over.
It helps that they have 2 goalies with GAA under 2 but Pietrangelo will be an All-World defensman (he already really is) and Backes, Oshi and Perron are absolute studs. Oshie finally figured out how to play.
If you haven’t already, join St Louis Game Time, it’s the Blues’ SB blog. Funny group of guys over there. Their daily links and commentary alone is worth it.

Not only is there another purple wildcat school in D1
There’s another purple wildcat school that names their mascot “Willie.” And that mascot is 14 years older than K-State’s.
and he's probably getting a better education...

He was a good player, I saw him in person a lot since that was my freshman year
And I saw all three KU-KSU games that year in person. Problem was, their guards were so bad you could double him relentlessly in the post. I still remember KU trying to have 6’6 freshman Alex Galindo guard him when Simien was in foul trouble… just a disaster. Luckily it didn’t haunt us.

The fact that a Wooly era KSU team beat KU at Allen Fieldhouse...
Should require a penalty that at least 5 of your recent Big 12 titles should be stripped. There is no excuse for it.

That was a pretty bad Self team.
Ended up being national titles, but that was when everyone was a freshman/sophomore. Didn’t get rolling towards later in the year.
We lost to KSU and then Missouri on Monday. It was so depressing. I think thats the last time KU lost back to back games, or back to back league games.
After the Mizzou loss, I got in my car and drove to Dairy Queen and gorged on a large blizzard. Sad thing is, that doesn’t even crack my top ten list of most feminine things I’ve done in my life. Its an honorable mention though.

I'm just curious...
you mention the one rec green, so did Mizzou people. Why is that such a big deal?
Questions, Comments? email me at denverjhawk@hotmail.com
I am personally a fan
I like having comments highlighted and not enough people rec as it is.
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Shrugs
Everywhere else I’ve been on SBNation it requires at least 3 recs to get greened(At EDSBS it requires 5). It takes a profoundly insightful or humorous comment to get that greenage(personally it makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside when I get it). Here it obviously doesn’t matter so much because ya’ll have not built much of a rec’ing culture. It’s a silly thing, but this is the internet and the whole point of the internet is to outsmart(or outdumb) people and have your work noticed.
I think the joke with Missouri folks is that they like to think you need that easy gratification that only requires one rec.
Bobby Hill: What's a meat examination team?
Hank Hill: It's like a debate team, only instead of doing something useless you get to grade the cut and quality of meat!
I guess I'd flip that and say...
that we aren’t big on handing out participatory ribbons, orange slices and juice boxes for showing up. We don’t often rec unless it’s really a worthwhile comment and since we don’t hand them out as easily it works around here.
I suppose it’s just a different way of doing things that’s all.

It’s just fun to see everything light up like a christmas tree so easily.
Bobby Hill: What's a meat examination team?
Hank Hill: It's like a debate team, only instead of doing something useless you get to grade the cut and quality of meat!
Yep, I suppose it makes for an easy target. I guess I’m just saying it accomplishes the same thing the way that we’ve developed it around here.
I just noticed both you and Rock M folks indicated that it some how means we all need to be validated but really have about the same number of green comments if they wouldn’t continually come over here and rec everything in order to get a cheap laugh.
Questions, Comments? email me at denverjhawk@hotmail.com
Yeah, I can guarantee not one of us has ever
thought about one rec and the “validation” thing. Further proof that MU and KSU fans will stoop to absolutely anything to make fun of KU.
Nevermind that our teams don’t win anything or have league or national hardware…na… THEY GET GREEN AFTER ONE COMMENT ON THEIR BLOG!
I didn’t even know it was different on other sites…

Well, MeatGeek, it is very simple sir
The United States had long struggled to balance the interests of slaveholders and abolitionists. The events later known as Bleeding Kansas were set into motion by the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854, which nullified the Missouri Compromise and instead implemented the concept of popular sovereignty. An ostensibly democratic idea, popular sovereignty stated that the inhabitants of each territory or state should decide whether it would be a free or slave state; however, this resulted in immigration en masse to Kansas by activists from both sides. At one point, Kansas had two separate governments, each with its own constitution, although only one was federally recognized. On January 29, 1861, Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state, less than three months before the Battle of Fort Sumter which began the Civil War.

I don't expect "fair" reffing on the road in the Big 12
It’s always a crap-shoot when things get messy down low, and odds favor the home team.

Play was a T
for the language and screaming in T-Rob’s face. You can’t do that in college athletics these days and not expect some kind of ramification. I just thought it was crazy that Knight didn’t say anything about that during the broadcast.

Im gonna make a Bob Knight drinking game
Take a shot every time he says shot fake. Everytime he says “now you see here” you take a drink of beer (or whatever). Everytime he mentions Dick Lebeau you do three shots. Everytime he mentions past Indiana players you do a shot. If its Steve Alford you do a flaming shot. If he mentions Kansas’ depth, you swish grain alcohol around your mouth for 15 seconds.
