This is the correct answer.

So the obvious PP7 Int years ago against Alabama was just a bad call?

I was still a fan-atic at this point and just as pissed as everyone else was. I remember that they kept showing the replay, but cant remember if replay was used by the officials in this call. I think yes it was a bad call.

The non targeting call when JD5 got rocked in 2023 against Alabama was just a bad call.

I have actually heard the decision points on this call from THE guy. I listened to all the input and heard the explanation. I dont agree with it but also realize than the fan-atic side of my brain doesnt care about logical references. Lol


The no call on PI for the Saints that prevented them from going to Super Bowl(worst non call in all of football history) were just oopsies!!

I am not a fan of any professional team, but i will never understand this call. I, just like the rest of the world saw it one way. I have some friends that work this level and they are also mystfied by tbis call.

These situations give fuel to the fire of the conspiracy machine!

I get it. I understand the disgruntled viewpoints. There are legitimate missed calls in sports. We are not perfect and never will be.

As an observer of LSU sports on The Rant, it has turned into, every call that does not go in favor of LSU is usually classified in one of the categories below:

1. The official hates LSU
2. The SEC hates LSU
3. The game official is a human piece of shite and we are going to dox his personal information.

It's always the extremes that rule the day. Called The Rant for a reason. That is not lost to me. Just trying to bring some clarity to the situation to help folks who are truly interested, understand the processes.

Your CAPS key work is impressive. Almost like you are citing rules references but not 1 actual rule or reference is contained in this emotional tantrum. Name calling tough guy.

Why dont you still officiate? 20 years experience is needed these days.

he told me a big problem....back then...was that the "supply" of upcoming, competent young refs was becoming a huge problem across all the conferences. Can't imagine that "supply" has gotten better

Your friend is absolutely correct. There is a huge supply problem.

The pipeline starts at the lower levels and guys work their way up to higher levels as they become better. But most young guys and gals are not interested in being subjected to the treatment that they receive at the lower levels.

LHSAA published some stats this year that showed over 57% of new football officials that work their first year, never come back for their second year.

That's a huge problem. Everyone from coaches, players, parents and janitors expect every official to be perfect every call every game.

I find it comical that these same people who expect officials to be right about everything, even while learning, dont hold the same standards for themselves or anyone else.

Guys, i understand why you think that there are all these biased viewpoints against LSU but its just not so.

Im an official, i know Daniel and his brother. Both good dudes who want nothing more that to officiate a game without issue.

With a catch, there are qualifications that have to be met. Different from a run. I was watching the game and saw issues with the catch/incomplete pass. I dont know what was discussed on the line with Birmingham, but they have all the camera viewpoints. They make the call on a review because its just not possible for human eyes to pickup every minut detail in real time.

Since i have become an official, i enjoy sports way more because i understand the officials viewpoint. When i was just a fan / fanatic, i had all these conspiracy theories also.

It also makes you come across as extremely uneducated. If you would just learn to trust the process, and free yourself from always having to have a conspiracy against your team, I promise you that you would enjoy the experience of a football game so much more.

You have no idea of the countless hours of studying rule books, case books, film reviews, critiques, evaluations, testing that officials go through. We are all human and will make mistakes, but it is not because we have an axe to grind.

Just enjoy the moments guys and girls. Kids playing are going to make mistakes. Coaches coaching are going to make mistakes. Officials working the game are going to make mistakes. Thank goodness for review, so they can be corrected. But unless, you know what the rule book states, and are on the line when discussing with the league office, you just come off sounding like an echo chamber.

Great custom work. It looks fantastic! Congrats to you

JJ January. Really great dude.

This is the best example I have ever seen of tRant. This is fantastic! Looks like the tPear posse still riding for their general.

Between the tPear Support Circle Jerk group and the LSU accountants support group, the ones always screaming that we have the poors, this place is a shite show.

Great representation!

That's some bullshite and you know it. Bunch of retards around here will want him left on the tarmac after the first game the defense gives up 3 scores. Stop lying to yourself....

He looks like the freaky "cleaner" that people call when they need a crime scene cleaned up.
