re: Where I hang my hat and park my car re: Sat night

The reviews are most definitely done with the same cameras that are broadcasting the game.

CBS, ESPN, SECN

Every game is broadcasted.

Once again, are you suggesting that each stadium has its own separate set of technologies and operators to capture play on the field, and that is reviewed by an official at the game?

Really?????

The same conference that wouldn't afford HD screens to review plays only a few years ago?

Come on, man

What about the play where we absolutely blew up the aggie o-line and the play was whistled dead only to have the head official say no false start penalty, replay the down. basically giving them a free play/do-over

What about it? Do you think you can do anything to change the outcome, or are you just screaming at the sky at this point?

quote:

what about the obvious false start on the aggie RB where half the LSU defense was jumping and pointing and there was no call by the officials and he ripped off a 12yd run?

---

What about it? How about you go through the entire game tape and find any questionable calls/no-calls that went LSU's way...? Then maybe you could have an actual discussion instead of just bitching and moaning about losing to the stupid aggies.

Ok. How does that address the comment I quoted?

I gave you the full quote.

You went and pasted something completely different

I gave you the FULL quote.

if the right call is made

It was a judgment call, and according to the judge, it was PI.

How is this logic "sky screaming"?

---

Because crying about how unfair you think the calls/no-calls were won't change anything. It won't change the outcome of the game, and it won't change how you see officiating in the future. All it does is give you an outlet for your angst. Some people need that outlet, and find it in screaming at the sky. Crying about it on this board = screaming at the sky.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to clear that up for you.

I get it, it was a tough loss. Usually close games are tough to swallow and the fan tends to wonder, "what if...?" But once you venture into the conspiracy theory realm, you're basically in SJW territory.

Missed FG
Conservative playcalling
Dropped punt
Dropped passes
Rushing 3 dropping 8


We had plenty of chances to win.

I hear what you are saying and understand your point. However, I don't know if any of us have ever seen a game where on so many occasions it looked like the game was over, only to be told that A&M got a "reprieve". I understand everyone's frustration. Hell, I've heard from people who aren't LSU fans saying "Jesus, what in the hell did your team do to deserve THAT!" One close call doesn't go your way? It happens. Two? Maybe. But from that last drive on, EVERY close call went against LSU. I think to say what we saw was rare is an understatement.

The interception at the end of regulation -- A&M was essentially saved by their OWN incompetence. None of the officials on the field saw anything wrong with the play. QB's dropping snaps and picking them back up is not an infrequent occurrence. Yet, it seems almost remarkable that some mysterious group 400 miles away watching the game on TV would pick up on that action to review. I'm not saying the call was wrong. Just something that seemingly no one was focusing on until the replay officials did a scan to see if there was anything to review (obviously the interception itself was clean)

The wrong yellow line. I don't think in all of my years watching football I've ever seen the yellow line be "wrong". I'm sure it has happened, just not that often. It apparently was "wrong", but I can understand the frustration of LSU fans.

The "incomplete pass" in OT. I agree it was a close call. But I think the fact that there was no review is the source of the biggest frustration. Just a few minutes earlier we had a lengthy review of an aspect of a play virtually no one was looking at (neither the officials on the field or the coaching staffs for either team). We just had a review on the spike. Yet, after all of that the officials decide a potential game winning fumble doesn't warrant a closer look? If you aren't going to over turn it, fine. But you seemed to look at every other close play, why not this one?

If I'm Orgeron on the sidelines, soaking wet because he already thought he won the game once, I'm going apoplectic and telling the ref to tell Birmingham they need to let me fricking know right now why the have felt the need to review every other aspect of the game...except this particular play. If nothing else, make the referee explain to ALL exactly why what looked like a fumble is, in fact, not a fumble.

I clearly first stated we have our staff to blame.

The other issues are not dependent for that to be true.

You’re the only person in the known universe saying the replay official’s only view was the ESPN broadcast, saw the yellow line, had no other way of knowing what the true line to gain was, and decided not to stop it for review just for the sake of screwing LSU.

Yeah, no conspiracy at all.

For the record, here is the SEC’s press release regarding the collaborative review process and the different video feeds used.

quote:

---

With the upgraded replay system, the SEC will relay two video feeds back to the league's central review location - both the live program feed and a live view of the replay official's monitor at each SEC stadium will be relayed back to the SEC's Video Center at league headquarters. The SEC will mirror in the Video Center the process in each replay booth for every game for which the league has instant replay responsibility. The Video Center and the in-stadium replay booth will also capture both team camera feeds, which will give more immediate resources to the replay process and better, more efficient post game procedures.

You can take both of your feet out of your mouth now.

FTR, I don't believe any of that happens that was released in that statement.

They have zero credibility with me, and for them to even have to release that statement, they know how much scrutiny they have created.

How much of your personal self-worth is wrapped up in and/or affected by such?

I really have to disagree with you on this on. If there was no PI call, then we go to the next overtime. So it made a big difference. I think the refs were just tired and wanted to go home.
