The story keeps showing up in non sports media outlets.

Business Insider and BBC news to name a few. The nation and abroad notice. Bama folks are blind as frick.

Uh, I'm not a sunshine pumper that drinks the kool-aid. The refs were totally out to lunch. How they could miss THREE players that moved before the ball was snapped is inexcusable. I can understand missing a false start call when 1 guy moves, but 3 is a joke.



They were a joke and they missed it. In fact, they called a penalty on a play that UGA did nothing wrong and Bama had two players doing something wrong. Think about that shite, if you can.

The big 10 wanted a fiasco in the All SEC final and got it. Sent a shitty crew with a sketchy history (see OSU/Mich 2016) with a previously suspended crew chief.

frick the Big 10 and Daniel F. Capron.

All you gotta do is send the guys who are known to be on the take. The rest is history. Alabama will go down for this shite. They're corrupt AF.

A ref stands at the line, calling offsides on the punt is a total rig job. It’s really not close. The other false start is also not close. Maybe it was just the one ref that was in on it, but if you are standing there looking, how do you miss it? It’s not logical.

It’s also not logical for Bama to make the playoffs to begin with. The SEC had 3-4 good teams and we got 2in the final 4. Cmon man.

That describes the UGA fan to a t, they spend all week after a loss talking about missed calls and dropped balls or they would have won. They never consider the other side would get the same advantages

Yeah, but finally we get to go to the Whitehouse and visit a President that loves his country. Cause the last one surely didn't.

We understand that. I am ready to get past it since we have had several threads on this already...but so you understand...

They missed one call (illegal procedure) and called one that didn't happen. If they had gotten the call that was actually made correctly, there would have been a blocked punt, turnover near Alabama's goal line and probable points of some kind.

If anybody wants to go back and change calls to what they should have been, then yes, the play would have been nullified by illegal procedure. However, their point is that if the officials are going to actually make the call, they should be correct with that call.

It is a horse that has been beaten to death.

doggies and cornies might wanna give him a call. Sounds like you guys have been touched inappropriately. Remember, you don’t have to pay unless he wins your case.

I am curious....I saw somebody else mention these. (Maybe it was you?) Do you know at what point in the game these happened, or have a link so I can watch? I honestly did not see these.

You do know it wasn't a Georgia fan that started this, right? And that he is agreeing with Alabama? How does that qualify for a melt thread?

I think it's a pretty clear false start on 17.


Pretty sure if we're calling the false start, it's the guy on the other hash, not 17.

I think the assertion that some of our fans wanted them to miss one call but get the other right is correct. And I get it. They never made the false start call, so you can't assume they would had the offsides been called correctly. It's really not a big deal. It happened.

I will say, on a play like that, had the offsides not been called and the false start had been, it really should carry an option to decline the penalty. You're essentially penalizing the defense on a great play because of something the offense did that is actually deemed advantageous to them.

It was being rekicked regardless.

Not really. had they made the correct no call against the Georgia player the play would have stood. The only way there would have been a rekick is if the referees had seen the illegal procedure on Alabama, which they did not.

But bad calls all night. Both ways.

Yes, there was.


And, I will maintain that if anybody wants to complain about bad calls then you can't just change bad calls that went against your team, you have to change all the bad/missed calls. If we change the offsides call, then you would have to change the missed illegal procedure call.

(My point about saying it would not have been a rekick anyway, is because they never saw the illegal procedure, so if they had made the correct call on offsides, they still did not call illegal procedure.)

Okay, gonna call that one out. That is absolutely not true. He wasn't using Fromm's helmet as leverage to get up. He was actually talking shite as he essentially gave Fromm's helmet an open-handed punch. I was right there and watched the replay on that in disbelief.

Again, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Calls by the refs are not why we lost. They didn't help matters, but we had our chances. Still, own it for what it is.
