This is the third time I have seen this, without a shred of proof. Does it help the narrative that much to keeping making a false statement like this?

Also an LSU fan just made a great point on Finebaum. He said that LSU should have just run the ball at the end of the first half and punted if they needed to. Instead they threw an INT and gave Bama a make up chance for the missed FG and Bama went into the half up 10-7.

It wasn't the right call.

Your team gets a gift from the Heaven's fumble w a minute left on your opponent's 6 yard line and you get the urge to commit a personal foul.

Of course your opponent wouldn't try to bait the call or do something to instigate. I mean, he only grabs him around the leg and pulls him while he's standing still after the play is completely over.

Regardless of who made the call, the crew chief has to have enough sense to offset that. Clearly, everyone was expecting offsetting penalties.

Reminds me of the 15 yarder we got at the end of the CapOne Bowl vs Penn St. Tried to pull Penn St players off to clock it for game winning FG, while they laid on top to run clock. A month later in the Super Bowl, Saints onside second half kickoff, and the pileup resulted in several players being dragged 5 yards or more, without a penalty being called.

It's just a case of using good judgement. If the Bama player was verbal, and Vadal reacted physically, different story. But, he was clearly being physical.

Refs let them play all night with only 4 total penalties, but still couldn't help but factor in the outcome. I'm sure Les was told they only saw Vadal's reaction, so.......

I'll take your word for it, I just hadn't seen it myself.

We can both agree he's a douchebag.

God, this bullshite the tinfoil hatters pull out of their arse is ridiculous.

From the head of SEC officials -

quote:

Is an official still not allowed to work a game involving his alma mater or a coach he played with or played for?

"Absolutely. Because of the intense scrutiny our guys are going to get, now if you have a son or daughter that currently goes to one of those schools, we avoid scheduling you at that school. If there's any perceived potential conflict, we're just going to avoid it."

Bitch all you want about the refs - lord know you LSU fans might implode if you don't - but when you make up utter bullshite, it renders the rest of your point null and void.

You mean Dick Burleson?

Try again.

Neither personal foul should have been called. Both were critical to the outcome of the game. Bama overcame theirs to score a TD anyways and that was the difference.

Bama might not get that momentum swing/chance if the refs don't screw it up the first time.

That's the problem. At least you recognize the call as bad

1) Per their webpage "Our officiating and replay rules and manuals are not for public dissemination" (which is fricking hilarious btw, super transparent)

2) Burleson lives in Blount county, AL and wrote a book about his personal friend Bear Bryant and regularly speaks to Alabama booster groups, which he is compensated for. Dude was quite literally on the Alabama payroll.

At the minimum it was an enormous conflict of interest. You don't bring someone who wears Alabama gear that speaks to and is paid by Alabama boosters into the officiating crew of a game involving Alabama.

Refs penalize Bama more times for a greater number of yards and I am to believe the refs were biased in Bama's....FAVOR?

What kind of retarded coonass logic is this?

But that wasn't the point you and other tinfoil wearing nutsos have been pushing.

First it was the ref went to Bama - proved false.

Then it was his daughter goes to Bama - proved false.

Now you crawfished to FIVE SEASONS ago and brought up Dick Burleson as an example - proven false.

Now you are saying because he wore a Bama sweatshirt one time and was friends with Bear Bryant.

It's comical at this point.

There's a lot of technique involved in getting away with holding. Auburn's blatant tackling of aTm's linemen as they were blowing past them is not part of that technique.

And you have no intelligent rebuttal and resort to posting an emoticon.

I win.

I would hope not since 74 clearly pushed the guy. Whether or not he was pushed first, I don't know. But, a cooler head would have taken the push and not gotten caught in retaliation. Game situations should not change the rules of the games. That would make the referees in control of the game; not the players.


At the very most, it should have been off-setting. You cannot tell me it is ok to pull a player by the leg like he did. Also, did you see the other Alabama player push #74 AFTER the other one was pushed off? That should have made it offsetting.

You can't argue with a woman I've learned the hard way. It's pointless. Arguing with another man.. at least he can understand when he's wrong. Last time I got into a discussion with a woman on here I was banned for a fricking year.

I was wrong that time. I'm right this time. I don't intend to take another year vacation. May as well just hang up

Whatever helps you sleep at night buddy. There's a reason UA was ranked 5th and LSU 16th. And it wasn't because LSU is a better team.
