re: Can someone explain to me how Bama got a 1st down at the 5 yd line

Because it wasnt. Both guys were hand fighting with each other, and the safety came over and made a great play on the ball.

for 2 reasons. first, they let the dbs and wrs fight the entire game, so calling it there but nowhere else would have been the wrong call. Second, once the ball is in the air the DB has the same right to the ball as the wr. jones was actally in better position to catch the ball the dupre, and so the fact that the were both fighting either means a no call (which was correct), or offsetting penalties. Based on the way the game was played previously, the no call was correct. Could have just as easily been offensive pass interference.

The personal foul in OT is a bit more esoteric, but its the correct call, because the foul happened before the chains were set to first and goal from the 1. the similar situation that happened to lsu was after the 1st down play, so the chains were already set.

the ball on the punt did touch the line, the LSU player who knocked it back with his right hand, had his left foot over the line and his right hand was past all other parts of his body, after I paused it his left foot immediately touched down 6 inches into the endzone,

WTF are you trying to say? Player's hands...player's feet....etc.

Did the ball hit the goal line or not?

I have not seen the play y'all are talking about, but are you saying that a TD instead of a field goal in the first half would have won the game for bama? really?

---

you mean a TD instead of no points? in a game that went ot overtime. Yes, it would have won the game in regulation

Lol. Nothing in the first half of that game decided the final outcome.

That's like me saying if Dural doesn't fall down on the Jennings int then LSU wins the game in regulation.

ONLY MISSED CALLS WE THINK ARE MISSED CALLS IN THE TIME FRAME WE PICK REALLY MATTER

DUMB BAMMER

As I've already said, I was at the game and have not watched the replay on tv yet. I was only commenting on the PI on the last play and then the picture of the hold. I'm sure there were many other missed penalties on both sides, but those are nearly impossible to see from the stands.

how retarded are you? seven points in a game where the score was 10-13 into the last minute would not have decided the game? clearly because it was against alabama it had no effect on the game.

Do you think of Dural doesn't fall down that LSU wins in regulation?

could be, but thats not even what is being discussed here. you are talking about ref calls, dural falling down has nothing to do with it. The dandrew white PI non call in the endzone was pretty clear, LSU player was not even turned around. There are just as many instances of bama players dropping passes or blake missing wide open guys. i can think of half a dozen huge gains cooper dropped, a couple that would have been scores

Yep.

The point is both teams got questionable calls against them in huge spots. LSU fans have decided to totally ignore all the ones that favored them, act like they don't exist and then talk about it as if they got screwed on all calls and Alabama got screwed on none.

Just embarassing.

I'm not talking about the merits of the call. I've already said I haven't even seen the play. I only pointed out how stupid your assumption was that if the pi call is made or if there is not pi there then bama wins the game. No single play in the first half decided the outcome of the game. However, you seem to think that if bama scores a touchdown there they win the game.

I displayed your stupidity by asking you if Dural falls down does LSU win. Of course, your answer is maybe which is exactly my point. No play in the first half decided the game.
