Go back and watch the play - Georgia was in the middle of an audible, not remotely in position to hike the ball while an Auburn player clapped to get the attention of his linebacker to alert him of the change.


Defensive players are prohibiting from clapping on the field this year. Period. It was obvious. It is not a judgement call, if a defensive player claps it is a penalty. Auburn should have been penalized 5 yards.

Penalty details

What is illegal: Any clapping by a defensive player.

Reasoning: It can be used to simulate the offensive snap or interfere with the offense's timing.

Penalty: A five-yard delay of game penalty is enforced against the defense. Intent: The penalty applies regardless of intent, meaning a clap to get a teammate's attention is still a foul.

Enforcement: If the offense false starts due to the defensive clap, the penalty is enforced. Even if the offense does not react, the foul will still be called

Ball needs to have a chip in it to track if it crosses the goal line. I'm sure they could sync it to video.


Great idea. Many times it's impossible to see with a ton plus pile of humanity to look through.

About time someone paid for robbing UGA of a scoop and score in that game.

How about gaining more than 40 yards in an entire half of football?

Maybe you should start there.


Thats a good starting point.

Really need professional referees. Officiating is so much better in the NFL. Why cannot college serve as a feeder for future NFL refs?

Auburn did clap and deserved a penalty, but Kirby clearly wasn't clapping. The motion was clearly a Timeout.

If they'd have penalized Auburn 5 yards and refunded the timeout, that would be a believable call

The issue is they fricked up calls and when they took a frick ton of time reviewing them, they were still fricked up just differently fricked up.

Took a TD for UGA off the board.


No they didn’t. Arnold scored on the previous play and UGA was way offsides on the fumble play.

Too little, too late. SEC officiating has arguably cost Auburn two games. These actions by the conference mean nothing.

I requested a sticky so all fanbases can celebrate a REC plant getting fired.

is that the same crew that cost Auburn the game in Norman?


No. It’s obvious the SEC is protecting whoever they think can make the playoffs.

Referees are at a point where they have small dick energy and they try to get their 15 minutes of fame on every review or tv produced replay of a missed call by going to the rules analyst upstairs

This article is very ambiguius. In any event, the goal line call was sent to the booth and they got it right. The ball was coming out before it crossed the goal line.

I think there are a lot of makeup calls going on to try to eliminate the attention on the really terrible calls.


I try not to be a conspiracy nut job, but you see a bad call and a play or two later you get another that goes the opposite way. It's difficult not to be suspicious of that.

hard to overstate how low rent yellowhammer news is in the present day. one of disgraced former trump press secretary's cliff simms old ventures in a previous life. been running on life support for years. rehashed partisan conservative political posts aimed at evangelical christians mostly. extremely low traffic website.

would love to get an actual news story about this.

The fact that this whole crew has been iced tells you there were many more frick ups from them before hand. This was the last straw

Sorry you don’t know the rules. That is one of the reasons you are always confused.
