Your immature coach flicked off Auburn after the play. That's all the intent I need to see.

That's not the question in your thread title.

You saw a lot of these in your classrooms, didn't you?

It was only played on replay half a dozen times.


AGAIN........he acted like was going off the field. Right before he hit the sideline, he ran into formation. OU quick snapped it.

The SEC made a statement it was a penalty not called. You will find out they rarely do that. That's how blatant a missed call it was.

Football is about trickery and deception I cannot believe that they have taken deception out of the equation.

The game of football is not what I grew up with. Trick plays are not allowed, viscous hits are not allowed, shite normal co tact with a rb running through the line with his head down is not allowed, the punt and kick return(greatest play in sports) is gone, crack back is gone, hitting or touching the QB is gone, defenders litterally are not allowed to touch a wr that is grabbing or pulling them down on a route… football is becoming a shite product in my eyes.


So I agree in a way that the trick play was legit and good, the other ref calls were a crock of shite and aubie was on short end most of the time

LMFAO this is so embarrassing its not even funny.

Watch the freaking replay. He's not even looking in the direction of the LOS as he is "walking to his assigned position" (as you allege). He was walking away from the LOS, and then he magically reappears at the bottom of the screen. Who actively walks away from the LOS while looking down at the ground as they are supposedly trying to line up for the next play? To pretend that he wasn't simulating EXACTLY how a player would leave the field is absurd. Your own receivers on the other side of the field gave away that it was clearly a designed "trick play" when they immediately started celebrating before the ball was even thrown.

I’m guessing the irony here is lost on you.

You are saying others are “low IQ” when you are not even asking the question you want answered.


As to why it’s in the rule book, probably because otherwise it would give the offense an unfair advantage on a particular play.

Same reason why the defense has to be given time to substitute when the offense changes personnel packages.

Same reason defenses can’t simulate a false snap count. Etc.

It’s really not that mysterious.

Of course it had been rehearsed, but by all accounts, OU checked with the official before the play to make sure they were on the right side of the rule. They had planned it and did their due diligence in not running an illegal play.

If the SEC office says it was against the rules, then they need to train their officials better. I see nothing here that suggests any cheating of any kind. Deception? Of course....that's football and always has been.

There is not a single person arguing otherwise.

We all know the SEC refs suck.

But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t an illegal play.

Again, enjoy it. You got away with one yesterday and are 4-0. Keep winning and no one will care that you needed bad officiating to beat an AU team that will have at least 4-6 losses by the time the season is over.

You are correct in that instance.

But what about a play-action pass?

The QB pretends to hand the ball to a running back but keeps it. Then he tries to throw to an open receiver.

Is that not deception?

How about when everyone on offense blocks to the left and the QB bootlegs to the right. Is that not deception?

Why is a WR walking to a spot close to the sideline, then having the ball thrown to him, any more of an egregious deception than the two examples above?

The rule is specially about deceptive substitutions.

This shouldn't be difficult to understand.

In actuality, he did, he looked right at the ref to confirm he was legally aligned and got the nod, the official confirmed this after the play.

But he never left the field, and no substitute ever entered the field.

What you are doing is called extrapolating.

There was no intent to substitute.

Oklahoma practiced that deceitful play all week. They probably knew the ref would not focus on the rule against simulating substitution, and they were right, so the thirty year old chump flicked off Auburn knowing he successfully pulled a fast one against the refs and Auburn.

Yeah. So did the SEC, the announcers, and every non-biased person did that.

Ya don't say?

So I guess we could agree that it was deceptive, correct?

If you want me to, I'll write this in crayon, and take a picture of it if that'll make you more comfortable reading it.
