re: Explain the Republic of West Florida tale to me
Posted by UFFan on 12/3/24 at 12:37 pm
The Republic of West Florida was in 1810, long before Louisiana seceded.
It seems to have been the consequence of some weird oversight when the US purchased Louisiana from Spain....

Explain the Republic of West Florida tale to me
Posted by UFFan on 12/3/24 at 11:18 am
I read the Wiki article about it and only half-understand it.
I knew that eastern Louisiana seriously used to be part of Florida once upon a time, but it wasn't until about two weeks ago that I heard about how it was sort of briefly an independent country....
re: Largest school district in Louisiana is mostly Hispanic
Posted by UFFan on 12/3/24 at 11:10 am
Well, Louisiana does have several Leander Perez type Hispanics, if those are even registered on the Census as Hispanic. The Hispanics in almost every other state are a lot different than that. Even groups like the white Cubans in South Florida identify more with Hispanic culture than the Louisianian...

I don't think any of their performances (including barely beating Duke) are as bad as losing to OU 24-3, or losing to Vandy by any score. Alabama does have more impressive wins than SMU, but they also have far worse losses....
re: Why no OU/lsu thread??

There's no Florida/FSU thread either.
Not that I'd want there to be a thread about this awful game....
re: Officiating last night
Posted by UFFan on 11/30/24 at 10:09 am
The PI in overtime was a weak call, albeit probably not quite garbage caliber.
But it wouldn’t have gone into OT in the first place if UGA didn’t get so much help from refs. ...
Officiating last night

Are any non-UGA fans willing to defend the officiating last night? ...

Posted by UFFan on 11/30/24 at 12:11 am
The only questionable call that went in Tech’s favor was the PI on the 5th OT. And it never would have gone into OT in the first place if the officials hadn’t kept favoring UGA in regulation, ...

Look at the replay TexasOnTop posted.
You can clearly see the back of his helmet vibrating due to the hit on the front of his helmet. ...
re: So how did that game watch to somebody that’s not vested in either team?
Posted by UFFan on 11/29/24 at 11:56 pm
I didn’t care who won the game when the game started, but I was rooting hard for GT after the refs kept screwing them so badly....
re: Rank the 3 calls from worst to least bad
Posted by UFFan on 11/29/24 at 11:43 pm
What regulation calls did Tech get? I’ll grant that the 5th? OT PI call was kind of weak, but Tech would have won easily in regulation if the officials weren’t so bad....

Posted by UFFan on 11/29/24 at 11:41 pm
Who cares? It never would have gone into OT in the first place if UGA hadn’t gotten so many calls in its favor in regulation. ...
re: My favorite part of the game is when King fumbled, both Jess and JoeT were talking calmly
Posted by UFFan on 11/29/24 at 11:39 pm
It was an SEC crew, albeit headed by a guy who was an ACC official until this year. ...

Somehow neither the announcers, the on-field officials, or the replay crew noticed the blatant targeting on that play....

Yeah, you're right.

That South Carolina poster is spreading an apparently false narrative around the board that it was an ACC crew. And I just assumed he was telling the truth and didn't bother ...

Yes. The targeting was before the fumble, and in fact the targeting is what caused the fumble. ...
re: What is the worst officiated game this year?
Posted by UFFan on 11/29/24 at 11:26 pm
I didn't start watching that game until the interception TD was called back to the blindslide block. I don't know what the reffing was like before that call.
But that was a good call that some people think was bad because they don't realize that the defense turns into the offense once they inter...

South Carolina lost due to a completely stupid and meaningless penalty, but it was still a good call. ...
