    Chad Jones made the tackle, and he's probably about 205 - Nickle Back.

    Anyway, classy of you to post after such a tough loss. I think this series will be fun for awhile.

    Penalties? Hell I don't know? In high school, you'd run until you threw-up or passed out. I don't know how they handle it in college. :confused:

    The unbalanced penalty thing seems to be something of a problem in the SEC as of late. I don't care for it, even if LSU gets the same thing at home, it takes away from the emotion of the game. The emotion is what makes college ball so great!

    Brother, the officials kept Bama in that game. LSU must have had 150 yards in penalties so you really can't blame the officials.

    The replay showed that the ball hit the ground, but it was a judgement call on whether he had possession of it before it was on the ground. I don't think he did.

    Bama had my respect before the game. Bama played a good game, yes, we helped but they still played tight.

    Thanks for being classy to come here and post a congratulatory message.

    I guess its a fine line. In a high stake game, with tons of emotion, the refs have to make the decision of how they want to control the game. Do they let the emotions go or do they try to stop something from happening. I saw a lot of refs running up to players and saying something i would imagine be like hey watch it take it easy because next time its a foul. But i could be imagining that.

    The Caddell play was definitely the closest of the replays. I thought you could see the point of the ball under his hands and the ball kind of popped up when he hit the ground. But I still told the people I was watching with, I would not be mad if the play was not reversed...it was that close.

    I would hardly say Bama handed the game to LSU. If anything....130 yards of penalties (one allowed your first touchdown to occur, another allowed the interception at the 10), 3 turnovers, inches away from being 6 turnovers, and a dropped LSU int. that led to another Bama TD? I'd say we did everything we could to hand the game to Bama, and they couldn't take it.

    You mean LSU almost handed the game to Bama on a silver platter.


    I could be wrong, but I thought the sac was very fast before he had time to tuck the ball. Or, for a split second, he was just trying to make some play before thinking of tucking the ball, being down by 7 points at that time.With the momentum of being swung around the ball hit a leg and bounced out.


    Thank you for a classy post.
