LSU players tweeting their displeasure

What about it was "indisputable"? Besides, you don't get delay of game till after the play clock hit zero, then the ump sees the ball isn't snapped. Why does this clock instantly stop at 1? Arbitrary bs ruling...

 

I would flip those last 2 scenarios. In real time, his knee did not look down, only in super slomo for a millisecond does it look like his knee may be simultaneously down while the ball is being picked up.

In real time, he catches the ball, makes a football move with forward progress, gets waylaid and bam the ball springs out. Heck, that looked convincing in slomo too. Don’t see how you are not seeing that.

 

Other than the one second being put back on the clock, I'm not going to cry over the other calls. I posted an objective review of the controversial calls. Our D gave up 74 points. End of story.

 

Either that or our offense didn't score enuff.

 

Gotta point the sausage at something. I think we were just saving the playbook for the bowl game. Shoulda coulda, right?

 

I think the larger point here that you are making and I agree with is the inconsistency of it all. As things may stand on their own, people can argue all day long whether the call was right or not, but I see no consistency here other than the calls consistently went against LSU.

 

Also, the game is literally over with either of these 2 questionable calls, and the rest is not even in conversation.

 

I’ve been mad and frustrated about calls many times. This is the first time that I know for sure, the game was stolen. Those calls happened because million dollar a month man (or there about) wanted it that way. LSU won the game before overtime. Then, it was stolen. That’s the long and short of it in my eyes. As I have said so many times before. This shot never happens to Bama. That’s because there’s another powerful man influencing the calls there. Conspiracy theory withstanding.

 

This is a great point. Like the refs could reasonably argue that the potential fumble in OT was not indisputable. But then they can’t turn around and say that Mond indisputably has his knee on the ground with control of the ball. The truth is they continuously made calls that avoided the game ending when it was a game changing call. It happened to be that LSU was continuously in a position to win the game and that the refs were making scared calls.

 

I think the burden of proof on that incomplete call is this: had the receiver been going out of bounds instead of fumbling, would the officials have called the pass incomplete? If not, it was a fumble, and the refs were wrong.
