Yeah, call me when we kill oak trees or people over a fricking football game.

There’s a reason GG columns are banned from the Rant. He defending the call makes it even more clear it was horseshite in my mind
His whole career is built on contrarian click bait

I am an LSU fan, and don’t always care for Gilbeau’s articles. But I agree with this one. I’m sorry for Devin and LSU and I’m glad the team has moved on. I’m ok that the fans have not, as they need to bring the heat to make Death Valley hostile on Sat in November. One th8ng he doesn’t mention is the non calls in the Bama game on Guantanamo and on that collision on the goal line on the Tenn TD. I’d like to hear a rational explanation of why those weren’t called. Seems inconsistent to me, but I’m not thinking conspiracy here.

Wow. A rational and well-reasoned response. Cheers to you. And I would agree that the call near the goal line was borderline. I don’t think Wilson went high enough for that play to draw a flag for targeting. And White’s hit was also borderline but you have to play smarter football than that. I wasn’t at all surprised it drew the flag. Player safety has to be paramount.

I've watched the damn thing multiple times and I'm still not sure how that was obviously targeting. I mean, refs on the field have to make split-second decisions. I get that, and unless it was utterly impossible -- say, White never touched Fitzgerald -- I will assume they saw something it was worth throwing a flag over, right or wrong. Refs are like anyone else being judged by hundreds of thousands of people on TV. Most of them want to do their job properly and get out of the stadium without being hated by everyone in a 300 mile radius. But I still can't see clear targeting.
Maybe a different angle, one I haven't seen, will clear it up. Normally, I'm not inclined to share the opinion of a group that spends more time complaining about the officiating than the rest of the SEC combined. The fatigue sets in really quickly there. But damn if I can't see how they're wrong about that play, at least from the angles I've seen. Does somebody have video, or even just a GIF, that explains why they're convinced it was the right call?
