re: Oklahoma State made that field goal vs Iowa State in 2011

Only way to say for sure is if the camera was mounted on the upright at a perfectly level 90 degrees up viewpoint

With all the places they can stick cameras these days (3 of them in the pylon), I cannot understand why they don't have them on top of the uprights so that made/missed can be determined definitively (and be challengeable).

I was at the game. What a fun night!!

I'm just pissed because I bought 4 osu natty ticket reservations for almost nothing.

ANY PART OF THE BALL which passes over ANY PART OF THE POST makes the field goal or extra point good.

Wrong.

ThIs is why two officials stand underneath each upright and look up.

To make sure the ball is completely inside the upright.

Any fool standing at the 50 can see if the ball goes through the uprights.

Through? Sure. Directly above? Not so much.

2011-2017 were very dark times.

Jordan Jefferson beat Alabama at Alabama in 2011. There was only one team that year that was beating LSU, and they needed a second chance to do it.

Boom.

LSU 2011 was the GOAT until LSU 2019

Of course our defense won the game, but JJ running the option got us some helpful yardage.

What kills me is that it was an bad snap that caused Lee to throw his first INT… a good snap, he gets in rhythm, we might win more comfortably and they can’t rationalize the mulligan.

Jordan Jefferson didn’t manage a TD in that game and accounted for 3 total first downs. He didn’t beat anybody, officially or in your delusion. The D and Alabama’s kicking game got us that win. You’re the type of fan I argued with before the bowl game who kept saying we’d win by 10-13 points. I kept telling you guys there’s no way we could score against them with JJ and when I said score I meant at all. It amazes me to this day that fans like you, who hold these two games in such historical significance, still have no clue what happened and how clear it is to people who know what happened in game one and knew what was gonna happen in game 2.

Even for you, this is retarded.

Bama was getting that mulligan regardless of if LSU won 50-0. Now, had Oklahoma State been Oklahoma or Texas, then that's who LSU would have played in the title game.

ESPN wanted a brand to win badly. Not only that, but LSU won what they called "the game of the century". A game Bama was supposed to win. When they didn't, ESPN made it a self fulfilling prophecy.

2019 was great and all, but 2011 ruined the sport forever. NIL will be the final nail in the coffin.

Those players were complaining about having to play Bama a second time, the day before the game. When I saw that I knew LSU would lose.

---

Do you blame them? Their entire careers, they were told "Every Game Counts". It was even the slogan ESPN pushed for years in CFB......

Until one of the darlings couldn't win what they considered the biggest one in decades.

Had LSU lost in Tuscaloosa 9-6, they would have gone to the Sugar Bowl, which was the correct thing. If you don't think LSU's players didn't know and understand that huge double standard, then, well....

Either way, this new "eye test" approach is working exactly how it was intended to work for the right programs. Bama has benefited, what, three times for this now? I know it is at least twice.

Give other programs those types of chances and see what happens. The sport may actually be fun again to watch, but that won't happen.
