There is no way you could tell if that foot was on the line or not.
True. You can't actually see that his foot was not on the line. You will have to use your powers spacial reasoning here. I realize that might be a bit of stretch for some.

"The issue is not whether LSU would have been able to go 69 yards or so for the winning score trailing 21-15 at that point. It would have been tough, but so were the Tigers, who led 15-10 in the fourth quarter despite missing their quarterback (Jordan Jefferson, ankle), tailback (Charles Scott, possible broken collarbone) and best corner (Peterson, cramps)."

We also think that it wouldn't have mattered because LSU's offense was being run by Jarrett Lee without Charles Scott, and managed only 9 yards total in the 4th quarter.

I am not. Every single camera angle that was shown to us on CBS lacked that "proof" that is necessary to overturn a call.
But taken together they clearly showed he had BOTH feet inbounds with possession. If you can't overturn on what was in the replays, then do away with the replay reviews.

So your point is what? He's over the hill and needs to go or that he's been screwing over bama opponents for years or he just flat incompetent.

Most ridiculous suggestion of the day:
That Julio touching the ball made it out of bounds.

how bama fans can legitimately argue that his left football wasn't inbounds is retarded
the first replay CLEARLY shows that his left foot was in

The call in the Georgia game played a much bigger role in gifting a win

When he had the left foot down he had not yet demonstrated control and possession. It's the RIGHT foot that is at the center of the controversy. I'd love for someone to post a video that shows "green" between the white and his shoe. So far, none have.

the call was predictable, I thought Peterson got it but there wasn't a very good angle, like Arrakis says no clear sign of green between his foot and the sideline and the reviewer has to be 100% certain, he was shite scared and made the safe call.
Or he got THE call from Slive, either way.

The Georgia penalty made a huge difference. It helped LSU start their drive on the UGA 38 yard line needing a FG to win. Had that penalty not been called there is no way that LSU would have even been able to run the ball. Since the ball was basically returned into FG position it was a huge call and LSU could run whatever plays they wanted. The make up call doesn't change the fact you got a huge gift and might not have scored if not for the penalty. Was it more important than the Bama call? No. Was a call at that point equally important? Yes.
The call in the Bama play mattered as well. I just think the chances of Lee driving 69 yards when he generated 9 yards all 4th quarter are horrible at best. I've watched the play and it looked like an interception to me. The ref for whatever reason on the field did not see that. The replay had to be inconclusive evidence and from what I heard the angle they needed had his right toe out of the bottom of the CBS feed. I'm not sure if it's true but if it is, then you couldn't overturn it based on where you think his toe was. It has to be inconclusive video evidence. Yes I agree it looks like a pick regardless.
If you had scored again during the game, then I'd be more worried about the call but you never got a first down in the 4th quarter. I'm sorry if the officials got the call wrong but they missed some that hurt us too. McElroy probably doesn't give a safety if they had correctly called the ball down at the 4 yard line on the punt as some posters have mentioned. That's not a 6 point game without the safety. They weren't able to replay a catch that we made in the first quarter as well due to equipment failures. I agree the calls matter but your fans act like they got robbed. Bad calls happen all of the time. Regardless your offense in the 4th quarter was two steps below terrible. Lee's next possession was a INT. If he marches down the field and you lose by 2, then I'd fully agree that you were robbed. But he did what he always does and threw a pick.

The call on the field would have stood up either way. No matter what the ref called, it would not have been overturned.
The problem with this is both refs didn't see the play. You could plainly see both refs say "I didn't see it" so they just made the politically correct call knowing the replay booth could change it. Replay clearly showed he was in bounds with the ball but decided to use the easy way out and keep it called on the field even though they didn't really know what to call from the beginning...

Is THIS the play? If so, it's CLEARLY not a catch....not even close.
The dude had possession of the ball with 2 hands in bounds, and then as he was falling out of bounds maintained possession with one hand before hitting the ground and losing control. Catch. Call would have been overturned, and the Bama players at least deserved the chance to to drive down the field and score. Instead, we end up having 2nd and 10, and converting - but you never know what would have happened had they made the right call, and that's what ticks me off. Is there an LSU fan that will admit that that was a catch?
