re: Shaw's response to Sternberger fumble

hmmmm....a small piece of something resembling accountability from SEC headquarters...

maybe they heard that caller on the radio yesterday that compared their transparency to that of the Vatican!!!

The more interesting part of Shaw's statement was that he admitted the PI call on Greedy was incorrect. They were able to whitewash all of the calls but that one.

I'm not surprised Shaw is covering for the refs. In a way, that's his job, so I'm not really bothered by it. So for him to publicly say an official used poor judgment is bureaucratic speak for "he screwed up big time."

That play was at least close. Their fatass def tackle jumped offsides about 4 times with only 1 being called. The whole thing was ridiculous. 3 freaking penalties the entire game for Aggie?

I'm not. I was expecting Shaw to at least be accountable for one of the six. I was honestly expecting him to admit the fumble, but that ends the game (again) in LSU's favor.

At least with the Greedy PI call, they can say it technically didn't end the game, even though it did lead to a second chance that did.

I saw many LSU posters here yesterday buying the narrative that because aTm was offsides on their next attempt, that somehow "evened out" the call on Williams. LOLOLOL

My poor brain cannot process that type of acceptance. The call on Greedy isn't made, we go to OT8....

We did not get screwed by the refs. There were about 6 50/50 calls that all went against us. It sucks but that’s football.

So 100% of the 50/50 calls all went to A&M.

We got screwed.

didn't take two steps with possession of the ball. Hate to break it to yal

is that the rule.

Shaw will not throw the refs under the bus. I think if this would've been against Bama, I think his take would be different.

Lets say Shaw is right about it not being a catch, the issue is that it was a close play and should've been reviewed. The ref blew the whistle after LSU was 15 yds down the field. They shouldn't have blown the play dead and let it play out like it shouldve. Then review it to get it right.

The were careful to let the Knee play complete and then come back and review it. They were careful to review the spike play after time ran out and put 1 second back on the clock. So these plays were overturned which hurt LSU and were very close.

But the play that benefited LSU that was just as close (Sternberger fumble) was not allowed to finish so that it could be reviewed. The issue is not necessarily the catch and fumble but the fact the play was blown dead and couldn't be reviewed.

DW40 strip was a really close to being ruled down and could have gone ether way

no, just no

That fumble was not 50/50.....it was at best 90/10

He may be right that by rule it’s not a catch.

But that’s a stupid rule. If you have the ball in your hands and aren’t bobbling it, that should be a catch.
