I get that you are new to the SEC.

But in almost 45 years of watching bad officiating, I can count on 1 hand the times the SEC offices admitted the refs were wrong. Even when it was obvious to everyone watching that the refs were wrong.

So they don’t admit fault lightly. And when they do, it means the refs really fricked up bad.

Just enjoy the win. If you guys would stop talking about it, no one will remember by the end of the season.


You got away with one. It happens. Move on.

No it's not.

He's on his sideline.
He's inside the numbers.
It was after a running play.

I really hope this crew refs every OU game. You'll get to see why they've been suspended by the SEC before.

Why are Auburn fans acting like a wide receiver lining up away from the offensive line is unusual? I swear they don’t watch football. This happens almost all the time I guess literally every single play should be a penalty according to the barners.

Why can’t Oklahoma fans (and at least one LSU fan) tell the difference between a still photograph and a video?

Is it due to lead paint exposure as a child?

Here’s something you might be able to understand:

LSU and OU are undefeated.

Auburn? Not so much.

Enjoy the little kids table.

Bringing the play up before the game shows intent and makes it even clearer that it should’ve been a penalty.

Please explain how this is illegal deception.


The illegal deception is not that he then got back to the line, it’s how he got over there. Acting like he’s walking off the field and then right at the sideline he walks back up to the line….tough to argue when the head of the SEC put out a statement that the officials were wrong.

Let it go, you won the game on some BS shite….get over it. Still a W in the record book


Maybe the Auburn DB's shouldn't have been so concerned with trash talk that they completely lost sight of the WR.

Also if you watch HF never tried to call a TO. that was complete BS on his part

Why would they keep tracking a player who substituted out? That would make zero sense

To be fair, the playaction pass is similar to illegal simulated substitution strategy because the qb did not announce he was going to throw.

Doesn’t look like he substituted out to me. He’s on the field lined up for the play, and Auburn is sitting there too busy trying to act tough and talk shite.

Just admit you got out coached.

Except by rule he’s considered to have substituted out. Hence the SEC making a statement that the play should have resulted in a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Also OU ask the refs about the play before game


This seemed like a solid defense to you? Why are they asking about a play they know to be illegal?

I believe it's due to methamphetamine exposure or living under power lines as a kid.

So you are honestly going to say that if he ran over there at the last minute and got set right before the snap, you'd feel differently? NO, you'd be saying the same thing and justifying it because he was making it look like he was hurriedly running off the field.

If its bad enough for the league office to make a statement, then it was bad. Ultimately, deception is fine when you are lining up man to man. This isnt that, its a cheap trick. We dont want these things because, we dont want the game of football to be about who can be the sneakiest instead of who can execute the best when players are lined up across from one another.

Oh it’s been more than that. MSU has several if you count basketball.

The latest one is the 2021 Memphis - MSU game where the ref signaled that a punt was dead and to stop the clock.. and the Memphis player picked it up, ran 94 yards, and they allowed the score to count even though the play was signaled dead. It was an inadvertent signal and by rule the play was dead. Aside from that, on that return, two Memphis players were wearing the same number and that should have been a penalty. Both missed on the same play.

But the SEC admitted to more than that. On an onside kick. MSU recovered the kick legally. Replay showed the ball go 10 yards. BUT they found a previously uncalled penalty that they threw a flag on after the replay. They couldn’t do that. Plays aren’t reviewable for penalties.

So that was three in one game. And that crew was eventually suspended.

I can’t imagine that I’m the only one to deliver this bad news to you, but you are in fact a moron. Sorry, but you obviously lack the IQ to parse the events as they unfolded. You cannot take a snapshot after the act leading to the foul was committed and call it legal. That’s yelling about your liberty to carry your gun in public as you’re being arrested. Yeah, you can have your gun out. That’s legal. BUT, unfortunately for you, shooting those 12 people before you left the office is still a crime.
