Write ESPN about their crappy, biased announcers.

As far as the no-call safety, he definitely intentionally grounded it. He never even looked where he was throwing it.
And that doesn't matter.

Rece Davis is a Bama homer ('94 grad). Sounds like the folks in Tuscaloosa are getting a little nervous.
Throw in the 2 points from the safety no-call and the celebration penalty is a non-factor.
OK, by the letter of the law, he was BARELY outside the tackle box and just managed to heave it underhanded past the line of scrimmage, all while in the grasp of a defender in the end zone, purely to avoid a safety that would have cost his team the lead. If you're going to bitch about the way rules are written, their intent, the way they are enforced, and their impact on the outcome of the game, this would be a good place to start.
Typical Bama myopia.

This is all beside the point. We think that no safety was a bad call and no one brings up the controversy...and before you say it isn't, in your infinite wisdom, which is fine..it should at least be discussed.
Then the unsportsmanlike is considered controversial even when we are called for the same thing. I don't buy any of the bias BS but they are definitely not factoring all the variables into the equation. The return, the additonal penalty on the formation and the fact we used way less time than they did to score and had the same weak shite called on us. If they don't want it to change games they shouldn't emphasize sportsmanship. shite isn't golf...it isn't a gentlemans game.

Yes, but it helped us more because we have a deeper threat and we only needed to win with a FG
That's a load of crap.

both calls were bs but both teams had the same opportunity to take advantage of the calls...LSU did with its KO return and UGA didn't with theirs to put themselves in great field position
You are correct, sir!

You're right Montana. I'm glad I'm not the only one that realizes if we kick a field goal there instead of scoring a td, they don't have to throw 4 bombs to get into field goal range and kick their own game winner. Instead they had no choice...throw bombs for the tie or lose.

It was a fricked up call. Or calls (against both teams) and the refs should answer for it in whatever evaluation system they have. I think CS was actually giving thanks to God which it kind of really sucks if they called a penalty on him for that.
But, you'd think ESPN would be happy to get an udefeated #1 v. an undefeated #4 for next week. Is the game going to be on one of their networks? And they should get a good Gameday broadcast out of BR

Any one who truly believes it was a safety is an imbecile. There was a receiver in the area of the throw. It does not matter that Cox was going down, and it doesn't matter if you think he didn't even look at the receiver (he did, by the way).
Posted on 10/3/09 at 9:46 pm to 36 Chambers
I don't care where the wide receiver was..he was in the grasp of the tackler, going down and flung the ball...THAT WAS A SAFETY.. and if you disagree you can kiss my arse...
Posted on 10/3/09 at 9:48 pm to SloMeaux
Yeah, that controversial call sure helped Scott into the enzone as well...

I truly believe it was a safety. And I have a degree from MIT. (which hangs under the one from LSU, which was much tougher to earn!)

Only if the receiver was in the stands. The only place he was looking when he flung that ball was over his head.
As I said before though, good teams overcome bad calls and that is what happened today. The excessive celebration penalties - both of them - were bull.

dude they called a fumble on lsu that wasn't ( clearly ) and in the process we lost 3 yards on a drive and in the same series we only needed inches for a 1 st down and goal if if if was a skiff we would a float away

Irrelevant seeing as how he got the ball in the vicinity of a receiver. Are you so dense that you cannot understand that the fact he was going down when he released the ball was completely inconsequential? Are you saying that if a a QB is going down and he completes a pass to a receiver it should be intentional grounding because he was in the grasp of the tackler? Yeah...

Quarterback not done, check.
Receiver in the vicinity of pass, check.
It's as simple as 2+2. There is nothing to debate.

Which doesn't matter, so, no, it wasn't a safety.

What? There was a WR right by the ball where it went out.

Which is true, and once again, doesn't matter.
