re: Bernard’s “Catch” and Sendell’s 1st FG
Posted by Demosthenian on 12/20/25 at 1:45 pm to BamaChemE
Lots of Bama enforcers out today! I applaud y’all.
I do like this response though, this is the analysis I was looking for.
On Bernard’s contested catch, both players hands were on the ball as Bernard was making his “football move”, therefore he never “established control” as it was contested all the way through it coming out.
So if it was a catch, the ball came out as a result of the defender causing it to come loose, and so he wasn’t yet down (see the replay) and the ground didn’t cause the fumble.
On the FG, the camera angle wasn’t exactly underneath, so it by itself isn’t the evidence you need, but it provided the basis for a fair review to reassess whether the ball did entirely pass within the uprights. And it really surprises me there wasn’t more dissection from the media (as stated the officials can’t review it as it was above the uprights).
So it appeared to be a prime opportunity for officials putting their hand on the scale, and I’m surprised therefore no one is questioning the call.

Bernard’s “Catch” and Sendell’s 1st FG
Posted by Demosthenian on 12/20/25 at 1:00 pm
The kick looked good. Period. Fowler barely had a peep after Lemonnier commented.
On Bernard, it was either a catch, and then a fumble, or not a catch (as it was contested the entire way to the ground). Remarkable how there wasn’t even a hint of inquiry to a review from Herbie and Chris.
Tells you all you need to know.

Similar to A&M not having yet traveled to Georgia or Kentucky, is there a school Missouri has not yet traveled to, or only played 1-2 times since joining?

Playoff is stupid this year. UGA v. Indiana for the title
Posted by Demosthenian on 12/7/25 at 8:40 am
There are only 2 worthy teams this year.
This damn playoff has become so obsessive, I haven’t heard a single person say there are really only 2 worthy teams still standing at the end of the year.

re: UGA looking to set new legal precedent in portal case
Posted by Demosthenian on 12/5/25 at 1:55 pm to jbdawgs03
Interesting to note the journalistic tone being set on this, the word “sue” is not uttered.
UGA has filed a lawsuit to sue Damon Wilson for breach of contract and liquidated damages.
The PR on this *could* be awful: A big, bad institution is suing an individual. A student! Someone from potentially a disadvantaged background! Someone with nowhere near the level of understanding UGA has about contracts and legal duties.
Sounds like ESPN either has a bias to not bite the hand that feeds them (a successful cornerstone football program), or has a bias as to which side the moral merit lies (implying UGA).
Good for UGA, and good for contract case law precedent. As for CFB, one more step down the pathway to it being just a business.
Having said all that, no way the $390k claim stands. LDs will be limited to money paid, plus an interest rate, and maybe legal fees. How in the world can you measure lost earnings to an entire program from 1 individual not fulfilling their NIL duties?

Easy. SoS
Takes a little more analysis than that, hoss. SoS matters only as far as assessing the outcomes.
You gotta look talented in your games. You gotta win your games.
You lost to Florida. You should have lost to Kentucky and Miss St. Bad, bad teams. 2/3 fired their coaches.
A playoff helps determine who should play for the championship. You looked totally outclassed in your loss to Georgia. What more does the country need to see to know you’re not competitive for a national title?
I’m not convinced.
Neither is Vegas. They think maybe you’re #11 at best. Would get bumped by other conference champs.

Same with Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, Augusta, Columbus, Chattanooga, Memphis, Jackson, Tulsa, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, and NOLA, off the top of my head.
By contending that “Southern cities” aren’t blighted or left-leaning, you may mean specifically “Texas” cities. But those aren’t Southern, they’re Texan.
