re: The blown offsides call kept this game close

I was also unaware you can legally punch the opposing Quarterback in the head after the play is over.

Didn't see that one. Got a videa of it?

"protecting the quarterback"

Quarterback was a runner on that play. Not defenseless.

Good Lord. Never change, LSU fans.

a blatant facemask directly in front of the referee was missed

I was watching the game on a 65" tv in my living room, and I missed the facemask until the slow-mo replay. Blatant?

a holding flag picked up

The coverage on this wasn't very good. Would have been nice to see a replay, to see what the ref who threw the flag saw.

a sideline interference penalty was called

I'll give you 3 guesses as to what happens when a side judge runs into players/coaches while a play is going on.

Calls get made and missed on every play. When people whine and bitch about a game like this, which frankly was officiated better than about 95% of the 40 or so SEC games I watched this year, it makes you look like a bitch, or someone with an agenda. Just stop. Kiss the ring of Godfather Saban, and hope it's your team next year.

Are you talking about the punt play?

I think thta's what he is talking about.

If you call Bama for moving early..That's a false start.

This is not what he is talking about. The replay showed that the Georgia player had not crossed over into the neutral zone when the ball was snapped. he should not have been called for offsides. They could have missed the bama player moving but gotten the call they made correct and it would have made a difference.

But, it's hard to say they should have gotten one call right and justify saying it's ok they got the other call wrong. (Not sure if what I am saying making sense. I understand it, but....I would.)

He's talking about when Mack shoved Fromm's head down after a tackle. Wasn't a punch but was unnecessary.

---

That should have been flagged as unsportsmanlike.

It's not like anyone didn't see it.




Honestly, Bama did a lot of really stupid things last night completely out of character.


And, as an LSU fan ... sadly, I know really stupid actions when I see them.

Well to be fair you're an idiot.

Yeah, but I'm not a bitch. How many years since Saban left LSU now? You guys really should have lost your erection for him by now. Ironically, it makes some of you look like dicks.

Well to be fair you're an idiot.

So you were able to see him grab the facemask despite the fact that the ball carrier was facing AWAY from the camera on the live broadcast? Let's also forget the fact that the player was also facing AWAY from the ref who would have been able to throw the flag. By the time the player's head had turned, the hand was no longer on the facemask. So unless the referee had x-ray vision, there was no way he could have known until the replay was shown that a penalty had occurred.

I looked but couldn't find it. I'm sure it will out there soon. But, it was one of those situations where the Alabama player shoved Fromm's head after the play was over. It wouldn't have hurt Fromm, but it could have been called it the referees had chosen to call it. Probably best it wasn't, but as a Georgia fan, I would have been happy if it had been called.

How many missed holding calls did the Referee miss on Alabama’s last two TD drives
