Arky player clearly recovered the ball.

How quickly are most fumbles recovered that you see? Are most of them recovered within two seconds or dropping the ball? GTFOH

Feels like we are missing something important here. Well, a couple of things actually. 1. We are angry about the refs blowing the whistles when they shouldn’t have and that’s true, no doubt...but think about how many times in your football watching life you’ve seen a muffed spike, then thrown backwards? Had it not been muffed, the rules of the ball being live of backwards, or being the subject of grounding dont apply. So let’s not act like this was some sort of clear situation for the refs to call when we have never seen this occur ourselves in our football watching lifetimes. 2. If we are wishing the whistles hadn’t blown, why the hell are we assuming Arkansas would have recovered? We have no idea what would have happened. Our #3 and #11 had great shots at recovery but let up after the official was blowing his whistle repeatedly, standing over the ball and making the “incomplete pass” sign as the ball bounced off his foot. There were also several Arkansas players standing there not going after the ball because they thought it was dead. 3. Anyone arguing that a play most players didn’t pursue at all, and not a single player from any team played from the initial whistle thru recovery. Clearly the recovery was not the immediate action following the whistle. The only real honest argument here is that the whistle shouldn’t have blown, play should have been allowed to continue, Arkansas might have recovered, Auburn might have missed the slightly longer field goal. There is zero certainty that Arkansas would have won. Better chance. But that’s it.

Suck that Auburn dick Arky! 5 in row

Whining isn't gonna change the outcome. It was a terrible call, but then again, if we don't stop fricking up so much on special teams we'll lose another game or two we should have won.

Regardless, our trajectory as a program is shooting up.

Pittman was the perfect hire for our program. Our players love and respect him. He will recruit well, and once we get some SEC caliber athletes in here, we'll make some serious noise in the SEC. I whole heartedly believe that.

Yeah I think you have to sympathize a bit with the refs here. It’s just natural to blow the whistle on a spiked ball. You could ref 10k games in your career and never see that Bo Nix disaster

Is that all you have ? Not surprising. It is my sincere belief that you are one of the many "sidewalk fans" which permeate the state of Alabama so they can be a part of the Alabama v Auburn rivalry. However, if you actually did receive a degree in, well, you name the discipline, from AU, I'd immediately ask for a return of the money you spent there in your 6 to 8 years on campus based on your lack of an ability to focus on the subject at hand.

Suck that AU micropenis, Arky ! 5 in a row

We’ve seen every angle repeatedly, slow-motion, heard from the refs after the fact, the SEC, etc...and we are still arguing about what should have been...yet we are furious that the refs, many of whom didn’t have the angle to see either the fumble or the fact that the pass was backwards, for not knowing precisely what to do in the moment that something none of us or them has ever seen happened.

and nothing to show for it except winning your super bowl. You almost did something a few times in those years. Congrats on almost.
