re: Gautreaux needs to be investigated by the SEC for his obvious hatred for LSU.

Sorry, forgot y’all got rid of Sharon Weston Broome earlier this year. The fact that she was mayor for 8 years and lost a runoff election says enough. Shitty liberal politics. Congrats on electing the 1st republican mayor since the year 2000.
Hopefully things get better there.

But in general the rule book is public knowledge and the consensus among college football fans on even the SEC rant, as well as the broadcast, was that it was an incorrect call.
"In general", "public knowledge" are exactly why you sound like you sound. There are very specific rules that the general public does not know.
I mean damn, i guess since the SEC Rant and broadcast blowhards know so much, they gotta be right?
I know no one cares that i officiate, but at least a I speak from an educated viewpoint of rules applications. I used to also be the general public consensus, until i actually studied and learned the application.
It would probably be of no surprise to a guy as learned as you, that over half the high priced coaching staffs on that field don't know the rule book. But don't let facts get in the way by any means.

he told me a big problem....back then...was that the "supply" of upcoming, competent young refs was becoming a huge problem across all the conferences. Can't imagine that "supply" has gotten better
Your friend is absolutely correct. There is a huge supply problem.
The pipeline starts at the lower levels and guys work their way up to higher levels as they become better. But most young guys and gals are not interested in being subjected to the treatment that they receive at the lower levels.
LHSAA published some stats this year that showed over 57% of new football officials that work their first year, never come back for their second year.
That's a huge problem. Everyone from coaches, players, parents and janitors expect every official to be perfect every call every game.
I find it comical that these same people who expect officials to be right about everything, even while learning, dont hold the same standards for themselves or anyone else.

Some of these people are desperate for someone to hate since the Tulane rivalry lost its energy.
Lafayette doesn’t have the numbers on this board, so these people that barely know anything about the area are driving the fake narrative.
Funny that the few laffy area people on this board keep telling them that we all love LSU. I guess they know better and we are all lying…

He either hates LSU or goes out of his way to appear unbiased. That was an awful night for that crew.

HEY DUMBASS - I umped for 20+ years up to high school and Legion ball and missed many calls. Doesn’t mean they didn’t get it wrong.
The fricking catch ENDED WHEN HIS SECOND FOOT came down IN THE END ZONE AFTER THE FIRST WAS IN THE FIELD OF PLAY.
The ball was controlled IN THE frickING FIELD OF PLAY. That rule on finishing a catch was over once the ball was in the End zone and the second foot was in the field of play. On top of that, his hands NEVER left the ball nor did the ground assist with the catch. The BALL NEVER left his hand. If he were on his back, same thing is the case if his elbow hit and the ball moved while in his hand UNDER CONTROL.
Geez.

This statement is a clear indication that you have zero understanding for what officials have to do and are responsible for.
I understand for purposes of drumming up agreement with the Rant brethren that emotional statements work best but, there is zero facts in this statement.

Only against certain teams and for the benefit of certain teams. Has zero to do with the conference overall.
Do you want to go back to PP int at bama? Year after year having bug eyes come to BR. A Clemson graduate who grew up in TUSCALOSER Alabama and a Bama fan to the only team that threatens YOUR SCHOOL.
The head of officials for YEARS was a BAMA GRAD.
WTF other biases do you want? frick man.

Your CAPS key work is impressive. Almost like you are citing rules references but not 1 actual rule or reference is contained in this emotional tantrum. Name calling tough guy.
Why dont you still officiate? 20 years experience is needed these days.

This isn’t true. True ULL fans and supporters do not like LSU. They consider us a rival but don’t want to schedule us in football or basketball
There is real little brother syndrome there and they don’t like LSU. I can see this ref trying to get us when he can bc he doesn’t like us. Too much risk of bias period.
Why don’t we get like a B10 or pac 12 crew for these games? Absurd.
Any other review booth would have called barion brown a TD

How many times do you think that play would not be called a TD at for any team? More often than not?
I don’t believe that there’s a conspiracy against LSU and I don’t care about silly rivalries between Laffy & Baton Rouge. Just wondering how often you believe that play would be ruled a TD vs not across the season.

So the obvious PP7 Int years ago against Alabama was just a bad call?
The non targeting call when JD5 got rocked in 2023 against Alabama was just a bad call.
The no call on PI for the Saints that prevented them from going to Super Bowl(worst non call in all of football history) were just oopsies!!
These situations give fuel to the fire of the conspiracy machine!

In my opinion, in real time that is called a touchdown.
I was at a party with a bunch of drunks (and had trouble hearing), but wasn't the ruling on the field was that it was a catch BUT he was out of bounds short of the goal line? Then they came back with the ruling that the pass was incomplete?
I didn't get to hear much of the on air discussion, because of all the emotional tirades at my place. I did hear the retired ref in the box say that he thought it was good enough for a catch, but he also is not on the phone call with whatever office is talking to the crew on the field.
I'll be interested to hear the explanation of the call.
