By the reaction of the Missouri player, I think the ball hit his foot or ankle. What do you see?

These SEC officials suck so bad. It’s not just calls against us either, it’s every game in the SEC.

The play where the play was supposedly blown dead but Overton got the late hit penalty was completely insane. There wasn’t a whistle that I heard and none of the players heard one either. The holding penalty that Haynes had close to the goal line was horseshite. Thankfully, the officials didn’t have an impact on the outcome of the game. But this has been an issue for a while now.

I didn't even notice it until this morning (and apparently neither did ABC), but it does look like he kicked it with his heel. I don't think it's strong enough to overturn it, but it does provide some context to the utter confusion at that moment

You mean the one where literally no one in the stadium besides the fricktard who blew the whistle heard it?

Oh no, everyone heard the whistle... right after Overton got the sack.

I'll never understand how that retarded nerd became an SEC HC.

Actually, they did. During the broadcast the play by play guys asked if it hit him and they ran one replay to look at it before moving on.

There was a whistle, but you could barely hear it on the broadcast. I would not be at all surprised if Overton could not hear it. A few players stopped, including Cook. Most did not. They asked Gene Sterator (sp?) in the booth on his view on that play. He said he was involved in a very similar situation during his career and they decided to pick up the flag. He said nobody was hurt and it wasn’t fair to tag the player for roughing because he didn’t hear the whistle and didn’t know to stop.
So once again, the SEC officials blew this play in 2 different ways. 1) You should have better control of the play than that. If you are blowing it dead and you know it’s difficult to hear, you run into the middle of the formation, whistling and waving your arms for clock stoppage, not standing there with your thumb up your arse.
2) since you blew #1, you are pretty much obligated to pick up that flag knowing the players couldn’t hear the whistle and you didn’t do your job properly to stop the play
I shudder to think what would have happened if Cook hadn’t heard the whistle and connected with his receiver who then took it to the house. By their interpretation, that should have been a touchdown.

You really have to listen hard to hear the first whistle...it wasn't until the qb got hit that finally you could hear. I think they called the penalty simply because he hit him too hard....and I'm being serious!

The strangest part to us in the stands was how Mizzou got to decline the running into the (our)punter penalty that also took place. Deboer was not happy about that on the sideline was giving the ref an ear full.

I think he got the penalty because he drove the QB into the turf which was bs. He tackled a tackling dummy that had the ball. Cook has got to spike that ball if he heard a whistle. They should’ve picked that flag up, but SEC refs are pretty incompetent, they are hiring homeless dudes now instead of attorneys.

Seems like the officiating has gradually gotten worse over the years. However, this year and last year they've made some real chit calls
Posted on 10/27/24 at 8:20 pm to PBD4BAMA
The biggest joke of officiating is the "Bama declines" (running into kicker) and Bama sideline is like...ummm who said that we decline???

We thought we were declining to accept the turnover (ball grazing the MO player and our recovering of it). When they made it obvious that wasn't the case, we changed our decision. Two different times in this game, the refs completely botched the call

Agreed.
Either it’s wholistic cheating that varies based on input from Vegas or they suck.
I don’t see a consistent bias other than to make the wrong call including the reviews.
The 1Q no whistle strip sack that the called roughing easily could’ve changed the trajectory of the game against a better team.
It’s happening almost every week at this point. I’m not sure if they have new officials who aren’t as good or the SEC office is falling of but it really takes away from the enjoyment of the game when they can’t get it right even with microphones in to hear from the review booth or a supervisor with a rule book.

I disagree - but I have an inherent bias against the ref's bias against us

It is happening every week - and it is either, as you say, incompetence or something nefarious

A whistle is like a fair catch signal.
If a player or official doesn’t make a clear and full signal attempt as required by the rules it doesn’t count.
In that case the official F’ed up or was not confident in what they were doing and rather than taking accountability dropped a roughing penalty that amounted to a turnover.
That official should be held accountable but won’t because it’s the same league office that just excused officials picking up a flag illegally to placate a top 5 team who was throwing things on the field.
The next team to throw stuff on the field should be hit with absolutely draconian sanctions but I guess that’s a separate tangent.
