Nope, I can understand missing a call on the field when the play is moving fast. But on replay with slo mo? Surely you're not arguing that the interception was close enough that a non biased person could make that mistake are you?


if you are refering to the PP interception, it wasnt as clear cut as LSU fans make it out to be. There is a little thing like clear control of the ball that must be addressed before you can say completion and the little pic of the clump of field proves nothing towards the argument, nor does a single frame screen shot

I'm saying I can't think of another logical answer for the call.


ETA. maybe he was blind though?

Tom Ritter and Matt Austin.

Ken Williamson isn't too bad.

I am always displeased to see Hubert Owens, Penn Wagers, Matt Moore, or Marc Curles working a game.

I thought possession was pretty clear. I'm sure some bama fans will disagree, but i've seen many of them admit that it was a terrible call.

This. Until someone shows me a pic of SEC refs walking into a known bookies house, carry bags of cash, with Alabama t shirts on, I won't think there is any bias.

could there be? Sure

Is it likely? No.

Wouldn't be able to ref Bama games if he went there. Same reason why Steve Shaw was never allowed to officiate them.

Sign me up for for the "fire Penn Wagers" crowd after last weekend.

200 yards of penalties? Are you fricking kidding me?

On the field, yep mistakes all the time. A clear replay like that was, no way in hell that was just a simple mistake.

Not that I think it would of made a difference, though. Think we still would of lost, but the right call was blown.

My favorite SEC ref/s are all the ones who have retired. I've seen enough calls over the past 50 yrs to question why some where made, both pro & against LSU ( we once got 5 downs against Moo St. But it's my opinion that they are just bad, period. Calls that are gray are one thing, but when you see blown calls, over & over again with the ref 2 feet away.........I'd love to know the turnover rate with SEC refs, but the league office will never release anything in regards to its refs. But FWIW: the Director of League Officials is a bama alum. And, yes I know, he's only been there a relatively short time.

The blatant blown calls that have favored Bama over the years are fun, but you can reasonably assume that everyone gets the benefit of a blown call now and then, so it's not the perfect argument.

I prefer longterm stats. The silly streaks of 0 holding penalties are the best.

Don't confuse the boy by bringing something as silly as the rule book into the conversation...
