I can assure you, that in any football stadium in America (expect Jordan-Hare in 2006), you can't tackle a guy 30 yards down the field, and THEN tip the ball away.


This.

I love the part time refs on this board who will defend officials NO MATTER WHAT. They will even make shite up to try and excuse the officials. Perfect example is this thread.

I have a link to the story from the SEC review of the playcall.

SEC: Officials made right calls in Auburn-LSU game

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - The Southeastern Conference determined that officials made the right decision in reversing a pass interference call on a deflected pass late in the Auburn-LSU game.

SEC coordinator of officials Rogers Redding said Monday the call was correct because the pass was made uncatchable, making the timing of the contact irrelevant.

Auburn defensive back Zach Gilbert was flagged for interfering with receiver Early Doucet deep in its own territory in the 7-3 win over No. 6 LSU. The flag was waved off because officials deemed that Eric Brock's tip of the ball made it uncatchable.

Redding said pass interference can be called if the ball is tipped after the contact occurs, as it appeared to on the play.

However, he said, ``it was more than a tip, it was a deflection of the ball so it made the ball uncatchable. A key part of the pass interference rule is whether or not the pass is uncatchable.''

It is perfectly fine to disagree with me...or the officials.

But, accusing me of "making shite up" is a bit uncalled for, no?
