re: UGA complaints remind me of.....

Because Auburn couldnt move the ball on us either. The difference being........LSU's drives were stalled because of refs. Auburns drives were stalled because of LSU.

4-13 on 3rd down.

The Early Doucet PI call was a no call because the ball was tipped. Are you guys seriously still whining about this after the ruling has been stated over and over 100 times?

You could make an argument on the Hester "fumble" and/or the PI on Davis? in the endzone, but the Doucet PI has been discussed ad nauseum and the league ruled on it. It was a NO CALL.

Let's see......

7 of 10 drives stalled in Auburn territory.

Of those drives, 4 of them stalled within the Auburn 34.

If you add the missed bad call conversions we would have been roughly 7-13 on 3rd down. Thats above %50.

Some of those bad calls prevented us from having a fresh set of downs deep in Auburn Territory.

You may run 50-60 plays in a game but of those, there may only be 11 or so 3rd down attempts that are key to sustaining drives

---

right, I completely forgot you can only convert on 3rd downs and the plays run before the bad calls that did not get enough yds for a first are also the ref's fault.

There is one other important point I forgot too mention that more or less proves xiv's point. We don know what would have happened if they had made those calls the other way. As an LSU fan you are assuming LSU would have continued those drives and scored, but we don't know that. We do know that LSU only scored 3 points, so its kinda hard to say we would have scored on any drive that ended after a non call. Based on the rest of the game its more reasonable to assume after getting a first down LSU would not have converted. In any event there were numerous other chances for LSU to scored just 1 TD. To blame the ref's just making excuses and not taking responsibility for our own ineptitude.

.how many calls do you think this guy had to alter to change the game?

was he changing the outcome of the game or the outcome of the point spread?

And if it was no big deal and just something a team should overcome then why involve the FBI?

---

The guy you pictured was accused of fixing games for gambling purposes (which may or may not alter the outcome of the actual game) that is a violation of federal law, hence the interest by the FBI. If you have evidence that the officials in the 2006 LSU Auburn game were making bad calls in oder to fix the games, please link it or turn it over to the FBI.

would not need to be reviewed if Hester does not drop the ball.

---

FWIW, he didnt drop it. It was stripped after the reception. He caught the ball and made two steps while turning up field. The controversy was that they overturned the call on the field (as a fumble out of bounds) after the review and ruled it an incomplete pass........it prevented the Tigers from having a first down and stalled the drive. Even the commentators were scratching thier heads.

what ev, he did not hang on to the ball that's on Hester, not the ref.

The Early Doucet PI call was a no call because the ball was tipped.

You do realize that earlier in the game there was a PI play exactly like the one at the end? Except earlier in the game it was LSU with an INT being penalized into an Auburn 1st down. Auburn receiver was hit from behind while the ball was in the air, then another LSU defender INTs right in front of the receiver. If he were to have tipped it instead of catching it, would the flag have been picked up?

and the league ruled on it. It was a NO CALL.

I think this is what has some LSU fans most pissed right now. The SEC for years has sided with ref's inconsistent and unequal enforcement of game rules, AND NOW, the SEC sides against the refs only part of the way, on something that has even more vagueness in its discription.

What an assclown . Playcalling revolves around (to a great degree) on having 3 downs to move the ball for a first.........not just 1, not just 2.

3rd down convertion statistics are some of the most important in the game and you dismiss them by making a dumbass comment about the prficiency of getting the 1st in two downs? Wow......just.......wow.

wow just wow indeed that you are not only a losers that blames the ref's but can't understand context either. I agree 3rd down conversion is important and I did not dismiss it. WE ran (i'm guessing) 50-60 plays give or take and you are blaming the outcome on 3 or 4. We had plenty of other chances. No need to put it all on the refs.

actually you have 4 downs to get 10 yds and a new set of downs.
Your chances of converting 3rd downs to first downs is much better when you have 3 yds or less to get first. When you continually runs plays on first and second down that get fewer than 5 yds, your chances of getting a first is greatly diminished. If LSU had executed better on 1st and 2nd downs, our chances of converting those key 3rd downs would have been much better

The point you fail to grasp is the ENTIRE game plan and execution or lack there of is what cost LSU, not just 2 or 3 "bad calls".
