A immediate on the spot review isn’t a review. Reviews should be done the Sunday or Monday after a game. Let’s not kid ourselves, they didn’t even look at this. A appeal is something that is put in by the school. So you are telling me that the refs make a call then appeal it themselves on the spot with the league office? Come on now anyone can see this entire set up is a sham.

It amazed me how fast the review took. It couldn't have been more than 30 seconds. We better tell Delpit to go low because he's got to be a target too. They will want him gone in the 1st quarter.

I don't have a good answer, Ponchy. I was wondering your opinion. I don't see the SEC letting any party outside of the league overseeing an appeals process. I think it's horseshite, but that's the way it is right now.

The call is wrong. But, the BEST chance for the SEC to get 2 teams in the playoff is for LSU to beat Bama. See last season for example.

Honestly Bama has an easier path to the playoff than LSU if they lose next week.

If LSU beats Bama, they’ve got to finish the season undefeated and then either play Florida or Georgia again in the SECCG.

Bama gets to sit at home and wait for the invite because Bama. Honestly if Bama were to win out and lose the CG they’d still be in. Again because Bama.

And I’m not disrespecting or making light of Bama. They are an insanely good team and one LSU very likely isn’t going to beat. But don’t think for a moment if the roles were reversed we’d be having this conversation.

new conference with Notre Dame


Notre Dame doesn’t want to be in a conference. They have their own network share in the P5 money.

I think it directly proves incompetence.
The replay of the Bama/UT proves corruption.

Review goes thru Ritter
That was the quickest review I have ever seen and it obviously was not a clearcut violation

Replay goes through the SEC office, so that is considered the appeal process.


Consists of Ritter taking off his glasses and script A hat. Putting them down on his desk. Pulls out a big rubber stamp with red ink that says "Rejected". He grins. And then he pours a scotch on the rocks while winking at a picture of the Bear leaning against the goalposts before a game.

Alleva has no emotional ties to LSU besides his pocketbook. He isn't going to rock the boat because he has no emotional stake in it as a fan. He's not an SEC guy so I don't think he fully understands that shadiness that is Bama football and it's connection to the SEC home offices in Birmingham. It makes zero sense for SEC offices to be in Birmingham. Atlanta or Nashville are much larger cities that would help to remove the outsized good old boy Bama influence seen in the SEC.

I think the SEC home office is a wholly owned subsidiary of the U. of Alabama. Go back a few years. Hard schedules for LSU and Auburn and easy ones for Gumps. Patrick Peterson's interception. 3 holds on one play by them a few years back and not one holding penalty. Guy commits battery on another player last week or two and they get to handle it internally. No targeting yesterday on hit on Tenn. quarterback.

I am certainly no fan of the NCAA but this call is a perfect example as to why officiating and rule infractions should be taken away from the conferences and be handled by the NCAA itself.

There is huge money to be made in college football today. It is a business just like the NFL. People don't think of it that way because it is affiliated with our educational institutions but it is a business as sure as the NFL is a business. And when the conference headquarters of the most successful affiliation of teams in college football just happens to be located in the state capitol of the most successful and rabid college program of all time? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. I'm fifty years old and shadiness around Bama football and it's outsized influence on crucial league decisions has been around my entire life. The power brokers of Alabama football are truly like a mafia outfit. Backroom money exchanges and handshakes and winks and nods. It's the fox guarding the henhouse because the henhouse is a gold mine for Bama football and the state of Alabama in general. The Bama fanbase tries to be coy about it and act like the other fanbases are just jealous and paranoid. But there are some corrupt SOB's at the top of Bama football and SEC football organization.

I don’t believe in this conspiracy BS, but I upvoted because that was some funny stuff.

I guess my question to you is, who would you suggest oversee the appeal if the league office is the one making the call on replay?


I’m all for legal action and bring it up to court system

The bigger issue is this:

There is really no difference between a Vegas mafioso paying someone to shave points during a specific half and the SEC fraudulently upholding a suspension for forcible contact by the hands to the breastplate of the defenseless player’s shoulder pads.

From now on the “cupcake” game might need to be before Alabama.
