re: Ed Orgeron sends inquiries to SEC office about calls in LSU-Alabama game

If you watched the game and listened to the commentators, he begins his slide about the same time as the defender had launched himself. He is going down, but the defender is in no position to let up or stop. This is part of the game and the refs understand that concept. This is going to happen when the defenders are in beast mode and are super fast. Not going to happen with reasonable officials, and even if they call it, it likely will be reversed because you are not going to throw a player out for being a superior player.

Its not really the rules, as one penalty on the gumps was during the play- the other off-setting penalties were after the ball was dead.

I assume the refs didn't see it that way. The hit was right as the runner is going out of bounds so I could see how the refs called that a dead ball foul. I mean hell they called the cheap shot in the ole miss game a dead ball foul when the Ole Miss player was on the 10 yard line running toward the endzone. They don't have the luxury of slow motion replay to time up the foul and the whistle and I be damned if I want them to add that to the list of things reviews by the booth. Games are to long already.

It's cool, I mean, if you're a loser fricking pussy trying to backdoor into another head coaching gig.

Zero respect for whiney arse men.

LSU athletics, IMHO, is the poster child for today's "everyone deserves a trophy shite". You aren't elite anymore, because you so pussified.

Before the phantom false start on the 2. There were back to back horrible spots spots that cost Bama at least 3 yards. So three straight plays where the refs actively hindered Bama more than LSU did.

He was crying that HUNH was dangerous and created dangerous conditions for his players. What rules are you referring to?

He generally brought up the fact that more plays at a faster pace creates more tired players which seems like it could lead to more injuries. However, he never pushed anything because of that. Bilema took that and ran with it. Saban basically mused out loud about it.

Referees not enforcing the substitution rules by standing over the ball, referees not giving teams the allotted amount of time to line up, referees not enforcing the lineman down field aspect of RPOs.

For the most part, those have been addressed.

I just chalked it up to the refs "letting 'em play ball", as there were a few missed calls for both teams.

me too

I do hate that the evil empire won the game.

But it was a hell of a defensive slugfest. My type of game. If we had any offense at all Bama would be melting instead of us.

I watched the game, listened to the commentators, I know what they said. What you stated could very well be true. But if the roles had been reversed (LSU defender, Bama Quarterback), I believe that a flag would have been thrown because the QB got hit in the head with a forearm.

It's just like the offsetting personal fouls. Calling it on only a Bama player would have moved the ball close to the LSU 25 yard line, advantage LSU. Calling fouls on both teams, advantage Bama.

Now go back to the 2014 game in Baton Rough. LSU has the ball inside their own 10 yard line. Players from both teams get in a scuffle, pushing and shoving, flag gets thrown, yet the penalty is only on a LSU player. Fifteen yard penalty, advantage Bama. If there had not been a flag thrown, or offsetting penalties, like the other nights game, advantage LSU.

So in both games, the same thing is taking place, players from both teams pushing and shoving, nothing major going on, each call was in Bamas' favor. And the only thing I saw on TV from that play the other night, that should have been a penalty, was a Bama player got a late hit in the back on a LSU player that happened maybe 10-15 yards from the ball carrier.

Just my opinion. But this is how I see it.

Thought they'd be used to losing to Bama by now.

Just like they should be used to Bama holding on every play. Bama probably hasn't scored an offensive TD this year where there wasn't atleast half the line holding.

But maybe Coach O crying will atleast get it in the media and people will look harder at it from now on.
