State basically won a game based on questionable ruling of TDs against Auburn, so, I guess that means the SEC is out to help State too? I can't keep it straight, draw me a Venn Diagram please.

Can you show me a photo looking down either the plane of the goal line or the plane of the sideline? Then STFU.

Squirm all you want Gumps. Carville called it out and the SEC validated it Saturday.

That Reggie Perry signed with State.

I’m just not sold on it being a Bama conspiracy. I think it is more SEC based.

The motivation for officials always favoring Alabama may be debatable but so what. Bama always benefits from calls to the point that the SEC is a national joke.

Arguing about whether or not it was a TD, then posts photos without the ball carrier or ball.

You must be a ref in the SEC. You need glasses?

I don’t think it is a conscious conspiracy. With that said, I do believe there is a subconscious bias toward Alabama just as there are with all great teams/players. Officials can’t help themselves.

I also think to their credit Alabama is taught well how to cheat and push the rules without getting caught.

I said this in the game thread but the kid who was called for the penalty screwed up when he put his hands up like he did something wrong but was trying to get away with it. The refs would have never called that penalty if the player hadn't reacted in that manner. That being said, it was terrible officiating by the refs for not paying closer to the play and realizing that the Bama player was never touched. The crew definitely should be disciplined by the league office for how poorly they officiated that game.

Go back a page gump....I mean Tennessee gump.

You said this:

"It was a ticky tack garbage call. ..Sorry you choose not to see that."

I said this:

"One can say it was a bad call. One can say that the official should have made the judgment to keep his flag in his pocket. "

Ok. Your statement about "one" does not have anything to do with my statement. You ostensibly support the call as it was made on the field when just about everyone else unanimously said it was a very bad call and a very poor interpretation of the rule by the official.

quote:

"When Gary Danielson is calling it out, you know it's bad."

Danielson said in 2009 that Tennessee should have gotten a rekick on the FG because Cody took his helmet off. Most people who have been watching college football for more than one year know that Danielson is full of shite much of the time.

---

I don't disagree here, but that has nothing to do with the fact that he normally espouses opinions that are very Bama favorable. (You were right, I think he's full of shite.) But when he comes out immediately and strongly against a call that happens to favor Bama and take points off the board, you know the official interpreted that rule egregiously wrong.
