First off there is no way you will get 2011 AND 2012 BCS MNC victories with Les 'the hat' Miles as coach.

Secondly, I love how one of the LSU posters already has 2011 and 2012 in their signatures.

I have always thought that the LSU fan base has to be the most like the bamer fanbase than any other one in college football and this just validates that train of thought.

Since the rule book doesn't appear to define "hand" and "arm", it is a judgment call right?

If so then the hand/arm wouldn't be reviewable in the booth right? But the leg / angle would be?

IMO:

Wrist = part of the arm
Palm = part of the hand

I think that his PALM was making contact and thus he wasn't down.

You really think a story from yesterday is not German? really?

This story was on Birmingham NPR this morning and local TV this afternoon. So from my perspective it isn't from yesterday. Also, I stopped reading the rumor filled 500+ page thread of non-sense on this.

I dislike the Fagship, but they aren't getting shite called for them.

OSU has been holding up front all night long. Finally got one called but the head ref missed it.

Yep, SEC gets screwed (by out of conference ref's) in most bowl games.

I don't think it's a down yr


Perception is that since Fl and Bama was 'down' that the whole conf is....wrong IMO

---

Lol, this is good to hear from the LSU fan base. I thought this was mainly an Auburn fan's perspective.

BTW, I don't think Alabama was 'down' because they are as talented and relevant as ever. Now Florida on the other hand . . .

You're relying on your memory of an announcer stating what he thought he saw.

Negative Ghost Rider. I have the game in HD and I went back and watched the segment in question. So lets be clear this isn't from my memory.

It's funny you think one hand under a knee means that no other part of Green was down, when it's clear most of his lower body is on the ground with the ball securely tucked in his arm.

I love how you point to one frame from the video. There is a reason the review booth uses full motion video instead of just individual frames. If you watch the multiple video replays, you can see the ball bobble before he totally loses it or comes down. You can't exactly see this lack of possession in a single frame.

Looking at your screen shot - because of the way his body is bent, his left knee is facing up and clearly not in contact with the ground like his left heel is.

Then his right knee hits Stephens hand before the ground (check out the other angle reply NOT in the screen shot below), that is how the review booth couldn't over turn the call on the field.

LOL what other pic?

---

Even the CBS announcers said he was fumbling the ball before he was down.

"I thought I saw the ball move" is exactly what the CBS announcer said.

Along these lines, an SEC team has never lost a BCS championship game either so the same applies to Auburn.

Gary Condit?

Lol.

I actually think Oregon's game is a good match for auburn's D and plays to their strength.

---

Yes. Auburn's D sells out to the run and FORCES you to throw on our 'poor' secondary. Then once you are in a 1-d offense (e.g. pass only) we bring the pressure on the QB. It is only then (usually in the 2nd half) that our D starts getting 'better'.

quote:

---

If Oregon cannot run the football they will get blown out.

---

I don't know about a blow out. It really depends on how the 2ndary holds up. If they can't run and only have mild success stopping our offense, then it will be a good game for Auburn.
