ESPN LSU AD criticizes SEC over officiating (ESPN)

They can review the play to determine if the ball was tipped. But they can't review the PI since that is a judgement call. At least one official saw the ball tipped, so there was no need to review it. They got that part right.

Why didn't they raise a complaint about the Hester fumble and the Lafell mugging in the endzone. 2 plays in back to back series that were or could've been game changing.

 

Great Job Skip!

 

The officiating was not an accident. It happened to us at Bauburn in 2004. In both cases, Aburn was at home, ranked in the Top 5, and hyped to be the SEC Champ or maybe even NC.

This is a pattern. I'm suspicious that it has something to do with the fact that the SEC HQ is in Birmingham, AL and that Aburn is in AL. Would the SEC HQ in Birmingham, AL benefit if a home state team won the NC? Maybe. You can't deny the prestige of having a home state team win it all.

If LSU was allowed to upset the "favored son" at home, that would ruin their chance to take home the prize along with the home state team.

MOVE THE SEC HQ OUT OF ALABAMA AND MOVE IT TO BATON ROUGE. I WANT SOME "HOME COOKIN" FOR LSU !!

 

It's clearly PI. That's why it was thrown in the first place. I wonder what a rule is about announcing a ruling to the crowd, then going back and removing the penalty, which CANNOT be reviewed.... right? Penalties can't be reviewed, I think. If not, now they should, huh?

I wonder what the ruling for a helmet to helmet late hit is?

 

No way... I'd rather win fair and square, but I know your joking... I think.

They should move it somewhere that a team has no real chance of doing anything, like Vanderbilt or Kentucky. There, if calls go their way, it won't help too much.

 

I've been watching football for a long time, and I have never seen a pass ruled uncatchable b/c another defender was in the way, including LSU's 3rd quarter interception that was waved off in favor of pass interference.

 

it definitely looks like a shady call to me

 

Would anyone like a tissue? You lost, some ****ty calls yes...but you lost...there was some bad calls on both sides, this one was just a bad call period. LSU has a great team and a killer o-line and I dont think we touched russel but once or twice. As for whoever is talking about AU coming down next year, a year in the SEC is a long time and anything can happen so that is a big order to fill. LSU could win by 3 touchdowns or could get 2 brocken anckles, a torn ACL and lose by 14 points so dont be gay.
