I think that you notice calls that you think should be a hold when the game is tight and the defense needs to make plays. Normally it becomes a frustration cry from a fan, when they are trying to find any logic for why their team isn't playing the way that they feel it should be. At least that is when I tend to hear people yell "thats a hold".

This is the way I feel now, but who knows once Big Ten season comes along. I'm sure that there will be some bad no calls to come..........
If it occurs on every play then maybe the rule against it should be repealed. I'm not being sarcastic about that either Regardless, I understand letting it go when linemen are grabbing a little jersey a little outside the pads in the trenches, but it seems like blatant tackling of defensive linemen should be called whether or not it "affects the play", and it often seems like it isn't called. I won't even touch Iowa's "holding-free fake FG for a TD" against OSU in 2003 . . .
