re: SEC Officials Created Rules out of Thin Air to Ensure Auburn Victory

Arkansas's never stopped trying to recover the ball and their player was on the ball at the end.

People act like blowing the whistle ends the play, it does not anymore.

Meanwhile arky had already attempted to recover and deflected the ball off of the official blowing it dead there. White hat screwed up bigly, but replay didn't. That's what the SEC statement essentially said.

This right here. #7 for Arkansas slid in and knocked it away from our RB. That was his chance for an immediate recovery. After that, a whistle was being blown and #7 was the only one actively going after the ball.

But Arky fans need to stop acting like they didn’t screw themselves multiple times before the refs did. Arkansas had plenty of chance to prevent Auburn from ever getting in that situation. When they did they were hoping for a fluke fumble to bail them out.

So, the entire penalty for illegal spike is loss of down, no yardage marked off as well? This is BS. Arkansas robbed.

After the play was BLOWN DEAD ? how is this that hard

Some of you either cant or didn't read. The rule and officials clearly say that the whistle doesn't even matter in this situation. Continuation of play after the whistle is allowed if the whistle is blown wrongly. The only thing that matters according to the SEC explanation is the immediate recovery part. The whistle is Auburn fans' way of trying to win an unwinnable argument. It was meaningless to the ruling. If Foucha was 2 feet closer to that ball and clearly recovered it(which shouldn't matter but in this case seems to) the ball would have been Arkansas' even with the early whistle. Reviews supercede whistles commonly.

Arkansas fans-it sucks but you have to move on.
Auburn fans-just admit you guys won when you shouldn't have and quit arguing bogus points that aren't applicable to the situation. You're all for the officials explanation but don't even take the time to comprehend what you're reading to make an argument. Fandom at it's finest.

Dont be surprised man. They fricked us over too. Cheaters. Its what you expect from Cam Newton U.

Oh get real - if this shite had happened to Auburn you stupid fricks would burn down your own damn trees and the SEC home office.

"Take the L and move on"

This is more about the fact that SEC officiating is AWFUL, and has resulted in Arkansas losing big game after big game for the better part of 30 years. Theres too many to name - @ UF in the Swamp was a con job that stands out to many.

I would love to flip the script and see how hard your entire fan base melted. Just STFU and dont read the thread if you dont want to see a frustrated fan base that has been bent over and fricked at every turn since joining this corrupt conference.

Wrong. We've been fricked many times by refs and I've never seen bitching like this.

All you gaping pussies crying isn't changing that score or the standings. You lost, move on.

Yeah. It affects most teams.

You've had terrible coaching and an awful team for the better part of a decade. Don't blame that shite on refs. Auburn still has a lot better personnel and was supposed to win that game and win it big. You are lucky it was as close as it was, especially with your shitty playcalling in the 4th quarter and inability to defend Bo Nix on the last drive. Here's an idea, put a fricking game away when you have a chance and don't leave it to refs.

How many excuses have we heard now? The best one was that Arkansas didn't recover the ball in the allotted time, which is stated as "immediately". Some are interpreting that to mean 3 seconds, even though that's no where in the rule book.

The fact is that an Arkansas player continued playing and recovered a fumble. When has there ever been a time limit on recovering fumbles? When are fumbles ever blown dead inbounds, other than when the ref screws up? The rule was obviously meant to cover asses for such screwups, but they're still screwups.

I'm not bothered by Arkansas losing. We had our chances and we blew them. What bothers me is that the SEC can't even admit it's mistake, because that would require an admission of guilt.

The fact is that if the play had been officiated properly, than Auburn would have lost the game and everyone knows this. But once again, the SEC swoops in to save Auburn, because they can't have it losing to Arkansas in such an undignified manner. The same Arkansas team that it brazenly disrespected, by giving it the hardest schedule in the conference, even though it hadn't won a conference game in 2 years. Could it be anymore obvious that the SEC doesn't care about Arkansas?

I have nothing against Auburn. I don't hate Gus or Morris, because I blame our own PTB for their involvement at Arkansas, instead. What I DO have a problem with is this lack of couth in the actions of the SEC Office, when it makes decisions that clearly are not intended to be fair.

The fact that you have to complete the snap to spike the ball is a stupid rule anyway. It makes no sense.

Actually it makes perfect sense.

A spike is nothing more than an incomplete pass. If you want to make a pass the first thing you have to do is take the snap. If you fumble the snap it is a fumble and not a pass. If it were every time there was a fumbled snap they would call it an incomplete pass.
