re: Ryan Day still whining over "non-targeting" aka “Displaced Buckeye Sore Butthole thread”

You aren't an unbiased official.

I am using the same exact methods they use, which invalidates whatever bias you accuse me of.

It certainly is.

Because you are struggling to describe what he did wrong.

And you still got nothing.

A month later.

Targeting calls and no calls are littered with failures,

Any on field call can be a failure. The odds are quite high because they don’t have the advantages replay refs have.

Targeting is a rare one though as HI DEF/SLOW MO/MULTIPLE ANGLES Replay is essential to the enforcement of the penalty.

The ability to fix a mistake helps minimize mistakes on any call.

It's another to be a complete buffoon and ignore actual reality. He looks like a dumbass here when anyone with eyes can see that it was in fact not targeting.

Saban also said it was targeting.

Day said he "made a lot of calls after the game" with officials regarding the non-targeting penalty on Marvin Harrison Jr. in the CFP semifinals. Said he disagreed when told it wasn't targeting.

Dude ought to concentrate on recruiting, player devlopment and conditioning. If you plan on winning a marathon by running a sprint you'd best have a heaping pile of sprinters available at your disposal. If you don't your gonna get out to a lead and then your sprinters are going to fade down the stretch and you're going to see the plodders overtake you. Ryan Day must have not been loved as a child because if he were his mama would have read him the story about the rabbit and the turtle and he would know what a sprinter running a marathon looks like....

There's a heaping pile of Alabama and LSU fans whose mama didn't love them either apprently because they are also unaware of how sprinters perform in a marathon....

To be fair to Day- he probably really believes it was targeting. Lord knows he hasn’t seen anyone on his team hit someone like that. I’m sure it was shocking and scary for him

Y'all leave that man alone. He's just trying to save his job.

Neither targeting rule was broken in the play.

That’s one opinion.

Actually that is a lot of people's opinion, including the replay official that looked at it frame by frame and in slow motion with high definition cameras.

Now, you want us to believe you are more qualified to make that call than the replay official?

Honestly, the argument I would make as an Ohio State fan is that the replay didn't clearly show that he didn't take a hit to the head or neck area with the helmet. I don't think it clearly showed he did, but the rule states with defenseless players, it doesn't matter if it's intentional, lowered helmet, etc. It's just a matter if he his hit in the helmet or neck area. This is different than a running back carrying the ball who gets hit on such a play or a WR catching and then taking two steps upfield.

I can see Day arguing that there wasn't conclusive evidence to overturn it on review and I'd agree with that.

The problem is he's saying that since his WR was knocked out, it had to be a hit to the head. This is bs. You can get concussions without contact with your head. Concussions are just from the brain moving inside the skull and that can happen on any vicious hit that snaps your head back, causing a sudden violent movement by the head where the brain moves inside the skull.

This would just prove you both dont understand the targeting review rule. The evidence has to prove targeting happened, not the other way around.

also appreciate the class you showed in doing it. You're special.
