You can't look at a play and only take the convenient part of what happened into account. It's intellectually dishonest, especially when the 2 calls are directly related to each other. Missed calls happen and so do missed reversed replays and neither should.

Also, I am not sure you understand what mediocre means.



Bitching about a penalty is every fans prerogative and bith right. But missed replays should not be part of the game, when we have the technology to prevent it. There is nothing intellectually dishonest about either of those statements and have no real relationship in todays game.

As far a being mediocre in the SEC. I and most SEC Fans define it as not winning or playing for a National Championship sometime in recent history. What is your definition ?

Ref mistakes have always been part of the game, be it on the field or in the booth. Some calls are more egregious than others like the no call hold au lt's always get away with. We all know it took quite a while for a view to show up that proved Murray's knee hit down, but it came after they decided nothing proved he didn't score. They can't nor should they sit there forever to make the call. The only thing that was obvious on the initial reviews was the facemask, which kept murray out of the end zone, which happens to be what you are whining about. Chances are he gets in without the facemask grab that totally impeded his momentum.

Mediocre is being average on the field, wins or losses. Thats The commonly accepted definition for a sport that didn't use a playoff to determine a champion.

Then you don't understand what replays are for or the criteria in which the decisions are made. It has to be irrefutable proof or the call on the field stands.

My definition would be winning big one year, then losing just as big the next. An Auburn tradition! Perhaps you should read the definition instead of making it up as you go along?

But we really don't as instant replays are limited due to limited camera views. In no way should they expected to be perfect with such limitations, and To think otherwise is not realistic. If it's not irrefutable, it's supposed to be upheld per the powers that be, and that's exactly what happened. They followed the rule to a T. It's not like they saw irrefutable evidence, and chose to ignore it, which is a key distinction to acknowledge.
