The Very Problematic Effect of the PI/No PI Call

Now that every fan base has seen that absolutely pathetic and inexcusable series of events, you will have sections of drunk fans throwing beer bottles on fields everywhere thinking that might buy time such that borderline calls get reversed. That should of course never happen ... and likely won't... but the problem is the box is open and Pandora is out. Clear thinking doesn't prevail when emotions are charged and beer bottles are going to be cascading out of stands. THAT is what that officiating crew has unleashed.

I'm not advocating throwing things on the field but the uproar over it is always so laughable. I mean it's literally legal to murder babies in this country but God forbid someone throw a water bottle on the field. Why this pearl clutching phenomenon?

Nah. The NCAA or SEC may just make all penalties reviewable if a change of possession or a score is involved.

Op is right. Needs to be some clear impacts and not just a fine and sternly worded memo.
Only took longhorn fans about 6 weeks to be exposed as a bunch of entitled scumbags.

bullshite. If I was a Texas fan I would have been throwing shite on the field too. It was a horrible initial call with a huge immediate impact on the game. I don't blame the Texas fans. I also don't blame the refs for overturning their own call, they knew they fricked up big time. The problem is it's not reviewable, they fricked up by not conferencing together while looking out the side of their eyes for the jumbotron replay prior to moving the sticks and announcing the penalty. Every ref in the country is certainly now aware of what transpired and are getting strongly worded memos from their conferences about how not to let this happen again.

The 2nd best part of game day was AU losing again.

No it isn’t.

Yes it is

It’s legal to abort a fetus. There is no post-birth abortion — that gets filed under “murder”. You have to satisfy conditions such as life of the mother in serious question to even qualify a late term abortion.
So if you think aborting a fetus is murder, then okay we disagree.
But “murdering babies” implies something distinctly different from what constitutes a legal abortion. And there are a lot of folks repeatedly claiming that post-birth abortion is legal… so it’s a fair distinction to make.

This is NOTHING compared to the ringer the college football gatekeeping media losers ran Tennessee thru for the exact same thing in 2021 vs Ole Miss.
You'd have thought that Tennessee fans were firing live rounds onto the field that night the way that they screamed at the sky over our HORRIBLE way of expressing displeasure for them botching multiple calls in a game altering way.

So that means it is not murder? Because of something written on paper? Got it.

Food for thought: If a doc told you that your wife’s pregnancy was going to kill her, would you hesitate?
That’s the primary reason I think decisions like this should be left to the discretion of medical professionals & not mandated by the government, one way or another.
FYI most people who are pro-choice oppose late term abortion except in scenarios like rape/incest/threat to life of the mother.
Absolutely no one supports post-birth “abortion” under any circumstance & it would be considered murder in any US state.

Blame it on our maroon hive mind ….
But our fanbase—particularly the [huge] student section—is dang good (obnoxious?) about policing ourselves.
When someone is an arse, it’s handled (i.e., swarmed upon) by other Ags.
I can say with sureness that a student tossing a bottle onto the field of play wouldn’t have been ignored.
It certainly wouldn’t have turned into hundreds of others joining in.
That’s not some sort of sanctimonious flex, it’s just reality.

Not a safe assumption.

This is complete bullshite. A$M students are just like other student and any other school. After getting sparked on the field, we had many drunken kids yelling obscenities at our group as we left. By the way, there is nothing wrong with that. It’s just not unlike any other student fan section. Some are worse. Arizon state, LSU, tennessee, and of course, kU are pure trash.

Perhaps not 100%, but it accounts for the vast majority of us.

You dont think a "fetus" that is fully capable of survivng outside the womb is a child?

I doubt most liberals agree with such restrictions.
