re: Alabama vs Georgia in 2025

The most egregious non call of holding by Bama of the entire game is the one play where Russel threw his only TD. Their center literally grabs our guy playing the 3 technique by the neck and drags him the ground.

Woah, the one right up the middle that Russ has to step around?

Surely not.

You do realize if they throw that PI, we have the ball first and goal down 3 with a little over 3 minutes on the clock, right?

Remember the SECCG in 2023? Remember the long pass third down conversion that was never caught but never reviewed. Bama scored a TD near the end of the half on that drive. Could've been the difference in the game.

That was actually a 4th down at midfield. Bama would go on to score and take a 17-7 lead. If they review the play, it was clearly not caught. The ball hit the ground. Georgia gets the ball back at midfield with a minute and change left. Down 10-7. They may score, they may not. But they don’t go down 17-7 in a game they end up losing by one possession.

Replay showed Isiah Bond did not catch the ball. They didn’t even review it.

That’s why I think it’s the funniest thing on earth bama fans are finally dealing with what everyone else has now that saban is gone.

Stockton deserves his flowers but everyone that watched the game knows that the refs affected the outcome, which sucks.

Has there been 10% of the games played in the history of college football that were not blow out wins where officiating didn’t affect the outcome? I’ve watched A LOT of CFB in my 61 years and I bet I haven’t seen 5 games total, blow out wins or one point wins, that did not have controversial calls. I played football through high school, seriously doubt I ever played a game where the refs did not have an impact. If it was unusual it’d merit mentioning. It’s now more unusual than blades of grass or turf on the field. All fan bases bitch and moan about it, pundits talk about it….and it never changes. It’s part of the game.
