I agree and have no issue with that. I've been watching a long time and know the refs will both benefit and screw us and everyone else many more times to come.

College will always get the NFL's leftovers for officiating, even if they decide to pay for real full-time professionals that don't only do this as a side job. It's the biggest frustration of being a CFB fan by far.

I mean that has already happened. There is a replay of a play action were the DT hits the QB that is actually trying to deceive the defense like he has the ball and tackles him then gets a roughly g the passer or targeting or some shite…. The QB was actually trying to make it look like he still had the ball… how tf is that a bad play by defense

There wasn't a simulated substitution, they were on tempo, and couldn't substitute, that's on Auburn not understanding that. The SEC says this will be handled, but I bet it won't be because it was a knee jerk communication. They should not be commenting on what is at its base, a judgement call.

OU fans are talking about it more than AU fan which tells me they know it’s a tainted win.

The guy “acted” like he was walking off the field, and then lined up about one yard off the sideline. That is why it’s an illegal play.

But I thought of a good variation to this play that might actually be legal.

Same exact scenario, lining up on the field that way, and everything else.. and then that player that is lined up, runs in and taps the running back, telling him to run out of the game.. at which point the running back goes in motion, sprinting off the field as the ball is snapped.

Now this won’t work if the ref then goes and stops play for the defense to substitute, but technically he shouldn’t as there are only 11 players on the field.

The bottom line is that Oklahoma has always fricking cheated. Whether it was paying players or stealing players or running trick players that are illegal plays.. they test the boundaries until they are told that they cannot do that..

And as the old saying goes..

honestly I didn’t know it was a penalty because I had seen it done some many times.

But also it’s hilarious what the game decide crosses the line

DL moves to the side too suddenly? Penalty
QB hard count? That’s perfectly fine

fake sub? penalty.
fake punt? Fake FG? totally fine

So if my coach calls me to the sidelines and then changes his mind and puts me back into play then that is a penalty? Wtf

This crew sucks. I can't think of anything specifically where Georgia has been the victim, but I don't want them wearing the stripes in any UGA game.

This same crew was previously suspended for 2 games because of this blown call:

There was also the "roughing the passer call on Carolina last year that took away a Pick 6 which would have put Carolina up 11 points with 6 minutes to go.

Did you practice this all week, or was it a coach just wanting you to stay on the field?

Does it matter if it’s practiced or not? How can it be proven like the fake injuries?

What is a Sooner?

A Sooner was originally someone who entered land in the late 19th-century Oklahoma land races before the official start to claim land, a practice that was considered illegal and unsportsmanlike. Today, "Sooner" is most famously used as the mascot and name for the University of Oklahoma football team, with the term having been re-appropriated from an insult to a symbol of the state's pioneering spirit.

It’s in their blood..

Because the SEC has reviewed the trick play and says so.

They're actually the nicest fans in the SEC. Go back to your used single wide.

Thanks Tiger Bro. Those carnie methheads are really trying our patience, though.

Do you wanna talk about cheating about the Stansbury interception in the 80s where he was 5 yards in bounds and they called him out of bounds that was kind of beneficial to you
