I'm sure this exactly the news LSU fans wanted to hear.

We didn't care

It was never in jeopardy, apparently even being down 17-0

We have not thought about you since about 4pm on Saturday

I think we can all agree, that the SEC should put out statements publicly about the inquires. If they want to educate the coaches, how does it hurt to educate the fans.

"We determine this penalty was correct because of this reason" or even "This call made here was the incorrect call, but the game still stands" If they did that then fans would be way less on edge. I think we all realize mistakes happen, but giving an explanation one way or another would help

Jesus, what a bunch of crybabies... The game was poorly officiated all around. LSU just happened to get a bad call their way late. Missed holds, the BS punk block, etc. were early, so no one cares.

The fact is we don't know what the SEC office told him and never will. Coaches are not allowed to comment on it. You know damn well both of the pick 6 calls were correct. The horse collar directly caused the int. The bad throw by Nuss on the other was that a bad throw. But the hit on Nuss was the right call also. Now we can debate the merits of the rule and I would with you. As a matter of fact I don't like the horse collar rule period and never have. But according to the rules both were applied correctly.

That's bullshite. The "hit" on Nuss was legal and in way was it a blindside hit.

Truly awful call.

Funny you mentioned that. Here is something I read. “The few hundred Louisianians and South Carolinians held back thirteen thousand Yankees for several hours, but their line began to break and men started to retreat. Seeing his comrades fall back, one of Wheat’s men, his thigh shattered by a musket ball, raised himself on one elbow and yelled, “Tigers, go in once more. Go in my sons, I’ll be great gloriously God damn if the sons of bitches can ever whip the Tigers!””

He blocked him by extending his arms. He did exactly what the rule said. Shoves with the hands are and always have been considered a legal way to block someone (unless you do it in the back). It was a shove. Not a hit. Not a cut. A shove to the front shoulder. And that IS completely legal for blocking unless you're playing flag football. A screen block (which you described) would also be legal. But the idea that you can only screen block on the blindside or against the QB on an interception is absolutely untrue. You can absolutely push an opponent in the chest or shoulder to block them. Trying to say you can't is frankly idiotic.

While there are certainly more egregious examples of a blindside block and unnecessary roughness, there are a couple of things to consider. Number one, the South Carolina player was not called for a blindside block; he was called for unnecessary roughness. That is much more of a subjective call, made by the referee, when in his judgment, the tactic used was unnecessary.

In this case, the hit, however, hard it was administered, was deemed unnecessary in the situation by the referee. I am not sure why South Carolina fans are so caught up in this, this is a call that would happen 100% of the time. The South Carolina defender picked the most vulnerable player on the field and hit him when he wasn’t looking. It was stupid, and it cost the team. This is not the referees fault, this is just bad discipline and bad coaching.

The hit on Nuss was a chickenshit block against a player. Even the guy that blocked him knew it was too much. It’s 100% okay to block the QB. It’s not okay to do it that way. That was an unnecessary hit and I would agree with an LSU player being flagged for it too.

---

Well, back in the day that would have been considered a chickenshit block and would have been mocked when he got to the sidelines for not taking the qb’s head off.

That qb is a good actor or a huge wuss. Ask Kurt Warner what a blindside hit feels like.
