On A&M's TD throw in OT a WR made a very obvious false start that was not called.

This blown call didn't by itself cost Arky the game or anything, they did plenty of that on their own (pointless leg whips and shanked FG's). There's also no guarantee Arky wins even with the call.

But still, 1st and 15 from the 30 in OT might have changed things a good bit. No excuse for the refs to miss a call like that.

Ok, that means A&M scores in 4 plays instead of just 1.

I'm not convinced we don't run the same play. They weren't prepared for it at all. The whistle would have been blown before the snap.

LOL I'm not an Arkansas fan, I just hate to see refs blow obvious calls that have an impact on the game.

And yes, A&M might have torched Arkansas's secondary anyway.

Still no excuse for bad reffing.

Maybe, maybe not.
But still, you got away with one. Even the announcers commented on it.

We had several chances to win that game

They would've scored anyway in OT

We didn't score in OT

Well ya, if you wanna talk about the one play that cost Arky the game it was clearly the idiot leg whipping people 10 yards away from the play of course.

Or missing the field goal

Or Skipper tripping 15 yards away

Or the botched snap when we were rolling and icing the clock

The botched snap is what cost us the game. We were rolling and one more first down would have won the game.

Ok, we'll play that too.

Hill overthrew Kennedy on the 2nd drive for what could have been an easy touchdown pass.

Lambo, who was automatic on the season, missed a 40 yarder (well within his range)

Ed Pope fell down on the drive in which RSJ got stopped on 4th and one. He doesn't fall and he has 2 80+ yard TD passes.

On the drive with the missed Lambo FG, Reynolds had the ball hit him right in the hands at the 8.

The two tight ends had the only false start calls that A&M has had the entire season.

As a neutral third party, A&M fans need to just accept that Arkansas blew that game. They lost it, A&M didn't win it.

As far as I could tell, aTm is the only one that got away with one on a scoring play. Ours were called back.

You don't qualify. A&M won.

Harder to get away with it when you're 6'10, 500 lbs.

eh, what ya gonna do? We got gifts, A&M got gifts.

If we had a good leader at QB we wouldn't have gave the game away in crunch time.

Bert is too hands off during the game, he's all too often listening to the Coordinators on the headset looking confused and like he thinks he might have caught a whiff of the bratwurst vendor guy coming through the stands instead of correcting and ripping aholes.

I guess it works for him, we're not going to blame the refs when our QB botched a snap when all we needed was one more first down and eat a couple more minutes off the clock, even after a stupid penalty away from the play brought us back from being a yard away from being up 21 in the 4th.

It is what it is. We've hung for a half against the defending SEC champions, and whooped a Top 10 team for 3 1/2 quarters. When we become a 60 minute football team, we'll have something to seriously troll about.
