Game was getting away and the Zebras did everything they could to make it a game in the second half.

That crew had been fired or suspended by the big 10 on two occasions and was the same crew Harbaugh went off on against OSU.

Is what it is,

Didn't Johnson play vs Clemson and LSU?

And don'cha need lots of good players (depth) to be a good football team? I mean, our freshman TB scored the final TD, and we had 5 TBs with carries.

Texas A&M, Arizona State, and Florida state lead the league in blocked kicks/punta last year. I guess those are just outliers.

90% my arse.

As an LSU fan, why in the world would you watch that garbage?


Why is it garbage when the two best teams in the country play for the title?
Was it garbage when LSU played Bammer for the championship?

Doesn’t change the fact that we beat the shite out of both teams. It was a fun season.


If you have fun watching a four loss team crap the bed against Central Florida in the Peach Bowl...then your version of fun is different from mine.

If you watch it closely it was a blatant false start that they didn't call so if they had actually called the play right, the block wouldn't have happened anyway.


Wrong it still would have happened just 5 yards back after false start. The only reason it didn’t happen after the bs offsides call was because the punt was already previously blocked so Alabama expected it.

On the mythical punt block, refs missed two or more BAMA players moving early and should have been a false start. So even if the UGA player wasn't offside it was still a play that should have never happened.

Only reason I bring up these two other examples is, like you, I have seen a lot of blaming the refs. The refs didn't give BAMA the game.


You don't think it is funny that you defend Bama's treatment by the refs?
Your example shows 3 missed calls on one play where the refs were giving Bama the benefit on the call.

For what it is worth, Bama won. Not the refs.

But your argument that the refs were fair by missing 3 calls in favor of Bama on one play may be the biggest fail on the rant this week.

Auburn was hot and would have won it all they way they were looking. Georgia pulled away only bc once Johnson went down the whole game changed. He was their soul on offense. I thought it was common knowledge that AU would have won it all had he not got hurt?


If one player is the only thing preventing you from losing then you don’t deserve to win.

Ummm Ok,I don't think that number is far off in the NFL
because of league parity.I read the article again and there's no reason to believe he pulled that number out of his arse.(It's a NFL blog)

CFB numbers are probably similar if all metrics are equal but obviously if a G5 school or a WF or Vandy blocks a punt vs a team like Clemson I don't think those percentages are gonna hold up.

You missed the point entirely. I'm not complaining about the refs or defending them. The point was while UGA fans and others are busy whining about the refs, there are calls they conveniently ignore while claiming the refs gave the game BAMA.

I clearly stated that in every game there are calls that can be disputed on BOTH sides, and that it's just part or the game. So those who are whining should stop.

Again, I am in no way defending the refs. They called a bad game on both sides, and often do.

Two non-calls against UGA (holding our TE, PI on our WR) on our 4th down TD. We scored despite the refs allowing UGA to mug our guys.


That played started with an uncalled false start on Ridley that should have blown the play dead

I mean if we're just bitching to bitch, the refs missed a false start on the TD that tied the game
