Someone really arguing that's the single most blatently blown call you'll ever see?

Good call as far as I'm concerned. Glad the SEC office is in bham.

What if ole Gil tackled him like that AND tipped the ball like DBs tend to do? Would that be PI?


probably, not sure exaclty as far as that scenario. I'd imagine timing is the key to that one.

in this case doucet jumps in the air to catch the ball, gilbert touches him. but the other DB hits the ball prior to doucet being able to catch the ball. Doucet couldnt have made an attempt to come back on the ball because he was in the air before any contact was made, not because of gilbert

The imaginary first down awarded to Michigan last year was pretty spectacularly awful, sadly however it's not even close to the most blown call in history. A call involving inches, while clearly incorrect, is obviously not as bad as a call involving 5 yards, like in the OP.


Here's why I respectfully disagree.

Because one is sort of bang-bang and irreversible.

The other is blatant, blatant, in your face fraud in front of a million.2 fans watching on TV ... there were the chains, the ball, the closeups, the stoppage of play, the crooked ref AND the ability to reverse it yet, still, the ref tried to intentionally change the course of the game.

It was the most blatant bad call in college football history caught on tape.

I think the rule needs to be changed. Maybe only tips within a certain amount if yards if the LOS. Either way, seems like the play was inside the rules.

....the video and the photo in your link have a camera angle BEHIND the ball and the stakes; which creates the appearance of a "gap".

Show a shot straight down the line and let's see what it looks like.

I'm not sure anything will ever beat the infamous 5th down. But the Nebraska flea-flicker kicked ball touchdown is up there. Allowing them to beat us on a kicked ball touchdown?

I remember the same thing happening to SCar at UGA in 04 or 05.

This is the only answer. The LSU fans bitching about the PI call doesn't even come close. That at least has some room for discussion.

The Vandy receiver wasn't even close to catching it. It wasn't being bobbled. The ball literally hit off his chest and bounced 5 yards away. Play reviewed. Touchdown.

What about colorado @ missouri where colorado was given a fifth down (because the refs thought 3rd down was fourth?) close to the endzone and got a TD. And THATchanged the outcome of a game.


Also gave Colorado*** (fixed) national title distinctions. Should have been all Tech, baby.

I am serious when I say that was the absolute worst call since the world was formed....not surprised that an updyke made the call, either....I remember that bull$#I+ call like it just happened....

Skippy, that gif's angle is BEHIND the ball and stakes....do you have a view that's straight down the line of the measurement?

The tipped ball negates PI. Since he was already in that manner of contact, it becomes defensive holding. It's not even questionable.

That being said, I'm glad AU got the no-call. Nobody likes LSU.

and at the very least it should be defensive holding if you want to go off your stupid tip theory which makes no sense. It was PI. Just like when they called PI on Jessie Daniels earlier in the game when Laron picked it off in front of the reciever. Same exact scenario as the Doucet one, but it went against LSU b/c it was the right call.

If we get that call, we have a great chance to win. If we win, and rest of the season finishes out the same way, we play Florida in a rematch in the SECCG and winner gets to beat the crap out of OSU in the title game.


and the worst call was the stupid arse personal foul on the extra point in 2004 at Auburn that the dipshit from Auburn missed when the game was 9-9 and had less than 2 minutes left, but got to retry it b/c we had a player jump and fall on one of our lineman.
You know that rule doesn't exists anymore?

in order for it to be defensive holding, contact needs to be made before the ball is thrown. after the ball is thrown, contact penalties are PI, but it needs to be a catchable ball

do you know what a catchable ball is?

that's fine to say it was a PI, but to say it was the single most blatantly blown call is just sad.
