re: 4th and 18 & Spike with 3 seconds left.... Here you go whiners.

quote:

During OT, LSU had 5 penalties:

Personal foul - 8 yards

---

Easy and obvious call (and the refs missed targeting on Mond at the end of regulation so I'm not sure you want to go down that road). I've been big in decrying silly targeting penalties even on our opponents, but that was textbook.

quote:

---

False start - 5 yards 

---

Procedural. 100% on LSU. And our false start would have been far more costly, so there goes the false start conspiracy theory.

quote:

---

Delay of game - 5 yards 

---

100% objective call. Completely LSU's fault.

quote:

---

Pass Interference - 1 yard 
Unsportsmanlike Mouthing off the Ref (GREEDY!!!) - 1 yard 

---

I mean, these were the same play, and even if we grant the PI was questionable, the jawing afterwards was not. And the whole thing was negated by TAMU's false start on the very next play.

So.....wtf are you bellyaching about?

quote:

---

you think Greedy says something dumb to the ref if he is NOT called?

---

Irrelevant. That's an issue of discipline. Bad calls happen all the time. Doesn't mean you get to pop off at the ref.

And, again, the TAMU penalty rendered the whole thing moot.

quote:

---

your counter is dumb. 

---

It was a half yard penalty. It's a silly thing to point to as making any difference with regard to officiating.

quote:

---

Since when is an offensive player touching the ball with his knee down establishing control?

---

Since forever.

quote:

---

Every fumble that was touched by the offensive player would basically be ruled dead. 

---

Only if the offensive player had a knee or elbow or something else down signaling the end of the play.

quote:

---

so a ball carrier loses the ball fumble on the ground, the play is whistled dead as soon as he touches it?

---

Only if the offensive player had a knee or elbow or something else down signaling the end of the play.

quote:

---

The player would have to have control of the ball, which Mond did not have.

---

What are you talking about?? He grabbed the end of the football before his knee even hit the ground. He stood up with the ball in the exact same position in his hand.

The ball never moves once he touches it.

If that is a possession you must be very upset about the called incompletion on your TE

quote:

---

If you guys want to point at plays then the fumble/incomplete call is fair game. Could have gone either way.

---

Three plays tick me off about this game and you listed one of them. I have watched that catch and fumble dozens of times and see possession and two steps every time. The other two have nothing to do with A & M.

2. On our last possession in OT it’s 3rd and 4. The Aggies have stacked the box to protect against the run. How about trying a crazy, wild, trick play like using your TE or the quick slant we have used all season long. Make that play and we line up in victory formation. Have faith in your offense. Or,

3. Run the ball on that third down play and then run off all of the play clock before punting. Take the delay of game penalty. Don’t call for a timeout with 1 second showing on the play clock. If the game clock has one less second then and after the next to last play of the game the Tigers win.

I wasn't bitching. I was pointing out that A&M didn't make very many mistakes the whole game. When it counted, A&M had its share of penalties, including a 15-yard PI.

If there is anything to bitch about, it would be the lack of calls on A&M, but I have no video evidence, nor can I think of an example. Thus, A&M played a relatively mistake-free game.

I have actually been trying to get other LSU fans to stop their bitching.

quote:

---

That and our playcalling with 1st and goal at the 5

---

Our play calling on 1st and goal at the 1 was equally dubious. I get ya. Just glad we won.

quote:

---

If that is a possession you must be very upset about the called incompletion on your TE

---

Two completely different scenarios.

That play is called incomplete all the time.

quote:

---

f that was a pass and Mond caught it against the ground does he possess contro

---

Not sure what this means. Rules for passes and fumbles are completely different. A trapped against the ground pass is incomplete every time.

quote:

---

had three fingers on a football pinned to the ground.

---

You obviously haven't even seen the play or the ball. The ball was nose up and nose down, it was not laying on the ground. Mond had the nose of the ball in his palm and his fingers around the ball. He picked it up completely off the ground and stood up with it in this position. He changed his grip after it was above his waist.

Did any of you watch the game or a single replay? Your 3 fingers... trapped the ball against the ground... is total bullshite. That is not how it happened and not what a single video shows. Good god.
