Guess what just happened...

in the Saints game. Corner interferes with the receiver, but the ball is tipped before it even gets to the receiver. Flag for pass interference, no debating, no challenge (don't think they can anyway), and announcers didn't even comment that it was a wrong call.
Play sound familiar. FU Auburn officials

Yeah, that play made me have a flash back.

I think of that damned play all of the time! I have a photo (don't really know how to post, but doesn't really matter at this point) with the Auburn player's arms wrapped around our guy so that there's no way he could even get to the ball. Makes me sick!! We would have gone to the SEC championship game that season if we'd won that game if I remember correctly and faced a Florida team that barely won a lot of games that season (had to rely on 2 or 3 missed field goals to beat Carolina)and that was a pretty late season game if I remember right. Coulda possibly been 2 NC's in a row for the tigahs!!

It's hard not to be reminded about that call when the opportunity to score could have been the result. We'll never know of course.
The only way that was not holding or interference is if the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage. The officials made themselves look more stupid by saying that the ball was tipped and uncatchable when in fact it does not matter. In the NC game against Oklahoma out TE was held at the line of scrimmage and the sooners were flagged for holding. Our TE couldn't have caught that pass if he wasn't even touched but it was still holding.

As horrible as that call was, and it was fricking horrible...the fact that play even happened was JaMarcus' fault. Hear me out...
I am on record here as being one of the biggest Russell fans around. This is NOT a bash Russell thread or post. Even the best players make bad reads and throws. But after that whole non-call controversey erupted, a series of photos came out that were taken from behind Russell by an LSU fan. I don;t have them any longer unfortunately. But in those shots, you can see Early WIDE arse OPEN heading into the EZ but unfortunatelt Russell shortarmed the ball and underthrew it. In the photos you could see it because he reacted as if he knew he had thrown a bad ball. And you can also tell that after the ball left JaMarcus' hand Early needed to change his route back across the field rather than continuing to head to the EZ. Had Russell simply lead Early deep there was no one over him and he'd have scored easily.
Instead, it happens to get thrown into coverage and we all know what happened after that.
If anyone remembers those photos or has them I'd love to see them again.

In the first place, it was holding, and the tipped pass is irrelevant one way or the other. The SEC Athletic Administration is pro Alabama teams--plain and simple.
