but this still goes back to the OP saying "too many on LOS" which does not exist.


Yes, and my apologies as I cleared this up later and also mentioned it above.

They had covered WR/TE go out for passes several times. It was easy to spot it because they had so many men on the LOS to start the play.

Either way, I am sitting in anticipation of the inevitable gaslighting from the SEC today, along with many contrarian "fans" that will stick up for this crooked conference and their latest lie.

SEC officials have had bama as their #1 concern for years.

The SEC refs are cheating to help the out of conference team beat the SEC team because SEC refs…what?


There is a higher power than $EC. Didn't the Alabama Baseball Coach get fired, a couple years ago, for taking out his best pitcher and placing a Bet on LSU?

SEC Officials

They aren’t even SEC anymore. They are E$PN officials, and their job is to hamstring the dominant team to keep the games close and “exciting!” It’s been going on in the NFL for years (see Saints no-call) which is why I stopped watching that, but since no one else cared they decided to try it in college too! Just follow the money trail and ask yourself who stands to benefit! SEC Revenue

I like this guy.

I stated in the OP, that is what I call "manufacturing drama". Yes, the NFL is great at it and pretty much lays the blueprint on how to do it. One or two calls to tilt a game happen all the time.

What happened Saturday was a major step above that. Ignoring multiple holds, intentional groundings that would sway field position, taking away an obvious TD, throwing a flag on a blatant illegal hit then picking it up to allow an easy TD for Clemson, illegal men downfield, etc...

That is altering a game. Had Clemson tied it in regulation, I can only imagine what would have happened in OT.

Had LSU "lost" this game, I would not have blamed our coaching staff at all. LSU dominated this game in every phase. The only thing that kept it close were the refs. That's it.

Clemson's only offensive TD came on a drive where they got away with two obvious holds, another illegal formation, then the obvious pick play. Picking up that flag was just brutal, especially when the WR literally dove at our guy to get it done. Even if you don't call a pick you call a blindside hit.


The absolute "best" part of this was Dabo was seen on the telecast LAUGHING and joking with the sideline ref after the flag was picked up.

A true WTF situation for sure.

Meh, I thought a couple went in our favor. That play, when interpreted whether it was a catch or not, was called correctly, but absolutely open for arguments. When on a catch, no matter where on the field, if on 2nd step youre going to the ground, especially out of bounds, the ball has to stay secured. If it moves, incomplete.
Those guys are in front of 80k people and view things at a rapid pace. Not sitting at home on a big screen, etc

As far as good guy, yes..that was in response to poster saying he "cheated". He went with interpretation of a catch when going to the ground..the goal line does not change that rule.

He did give us a big roughing passer call, which was correct, but could have been let go....glad Nuss was limping, that helped w optics

A guy cheated. That happens. Institutional cheating by the SEC is an absurd conspiracy that reaches loony territory when it has the SEC cheating for an ACC team against one of their own.

Because he knew they got away with another one. It would have been 4th and 17 instead of first and goal.

Watching the replay of that one yesterday and it was worse than I originally remembered it. That dude dove at our guy from a couple yards out and clipped him. That's a blindside block, at best. You can argue the semantics of where the pick took place all day. Fine. But it wasn't a scenario where our guy ran into a player running a route right at him. This guy knew who to take out and he didn't run a route at all. He just ran upfield, located the DB, then clipped him. Just brutal. We saw it happen live and were thrilled they called it because it was so blatant....

Then the SEC stepped in and did what they do best.

They did do a good job with the PI (both called and non-called) - we didn't have a single defensive penalty.

Maybe the catch rule is too ambiguous and subject to interpretation at this point?

Networks sell as many commercials in the 4th quarter as they do in the first. And the advertisers want all those eyeballs to still be there, not switched off of a 55-7 blowout. The games are not athletic contests, they are paid entertainment managed for their value and now everyone, including the players, gets a cut. Ever wonder why it’s the “Entertainment and Sports Programming Network,” and not the other way around?

|It was NOT a touchdown. You HAVE to control the ball all the way to the ground. Pass incomplete...no TD

Other calls or no calls to argue....sure. Happens every single game|

Just out of curiosity, does the "control the ball all the way to the ground" rule mean on every catch? If this were technically true, could a receiver EVER fumble? I mean, both of our fumbles happened as the receivers were "going to the ground". Or, if a receiver caught a pass and ran into the end zone in the middle of the field, then dropped it as he ran off the field, would that be incomplete?
The "to the ground" ruling seems to have a very specific context, not including catching the ball in the field of play, running into the end zone, then falling out of the end zone and having the ball shift.

Yes, when the momentum of making the catch brings you to the ground...diving, dragging toes inbounds, being pushed...as long as its happening during the process of securing the ball. And or a football move is made after securing. Falling forward isn't a move.
It seems ref stuck to that and therefore was committed in calling incomplete

What Kelly said......The rule was applied correctly by the letter of it," Kelly said. "But rules are made to be changed, and so hopefully down the road, I think there'll be some changes in the way that is looked at. But the crew administered the protocols and procedures the right way on that play."

If a receiver catches a pass on the 1 yard line, on the run, and extends the ball over the goal line, and the defensive back slaps the ball out of his hands, is it still a touchdown?

Yes. Once the ball, in possession of the receiver crosses the goal line, it’s a TD. So why is it different if he falls to the ground and the ground contact causes a momentary “loss of control” of the ball?

When a RB falls to the ground and the ball comes loose, it’s not a fumble. Why doesn’t this apply to a pass reception?

Dumbasses who don’t understand the rules spouting off. Look, the refs sucked arse, but that “pick play” was completely lega
I don't think anybody is disputing the legality of the pick play. It's the hit on the pick play that people have a problem with. Our guy was so obviously defenseless, and they would definitely have called that on us. If you're going to go 100% by the rulebook then you have to call that. You know, because protecting players is so important to them and shite..
