Possession of the ball with a foot out of bounds is a totally different thing than a slap at the ball while out of bounds. Precedent does matter because it defines how a written rule has been interpreted, applied, and enforced. That should not change suddenly because a different interpretation would...

Whether you agree that Miles should stay or go, this is what just happened; the national media dictated to LSU that we would be retaining Les Miles, and that's what's really pathetic....

The whole officiating ordeal we seem to go through with Alabama and Tom Ritter (2007, 2009, and 2014) has been bugging the hell out of me, so much so, that I did some research thinking that it would reveal an Alabama - Tom Ritter connection. But that's not necessarily what I found. Here's a summat...

[quote]You are truly a poor debater.[/quote] There is no debate. My point has been made, you don't have nor will you ever have quantitative data to settle the question as to if SEC officiating in biased or not. You want to represent your point of view as more than an opinion; it is not. [quote]...

[quote]he's a classic example of confirmation bias[/quote] Wiki, you're the last one who needs to be accusing anyone of confirmation bias (pot calling the kettle black). You know just enough about stats to be dangerous. I'm proud that you made and A in Stats 2000, but please hold off on cl...

[quote]Since you are the one making the claim, then it is on you to PROVE IT![/quote]Neither of us can prove anything. We only have our opinions, which differ, and that's fine. All I'm saying is that you have not, and can not quantitatively prove jackshit; so, quit misleading the poor sheoples...

[quote]But Tell me Wiki, your a man of stats, numbers and measurables... Are there things that satistical analyisis can not measure? If so, is it plausible that the existance of random bias can escape the expert analysis (assuming you had all the data you so seeked)? [/quote] I'm not Wiki, but...

[quote]it seems like people would prefer to remain ignorant and cling to their emotion based stances that have no basis in fact.[/quote] Just because I don't care to beat my head up against the wall trying to find data for you to uphold or reject a quantifiable null hypothesis doesn't mean I wish t...

[quote]However, the SEC offices in Alabama argument is stupid.[/quote]Really now. It's just stupid to believe that the offices located in the middle of Bammer/Barner country wouldn't affect the mindset of officiating. Think about the corporate world, doesn't the location of companies have an e...

I don't know which head official is the light skinned black guy. While he and his crew irritate me because they call a lot of penalties, they do at least seem to call them equally on both sides; so, they might be alright. Of course, you know at Auburn anything going to the replay booth will auto...
