Have you ever seen a call overturned like that, and that late? F and R had a discussion and looked back a couple of times to B before announcing the foul. I mean, I’m not sure what to think other than some combination of crowd reaction/replay on jumbotron influenced that outcome.
In high school, I had a friend who played the tuba who swears somebody dead-centered a bottle full
whatever.... pretty crappy and worse than water bottles in an end zone.
hahaha..... really? With that tacky orange?
Thank goodness because the call was criminal.
Ah yes... aggy and their weird, fake army. That place will never be quite right. Even much of the rest of the sec considers them to be a tad off.
Yeah, they got it right (not like it mattered) but boy that was a bad look.
must have been a rough weekend in Austin. oh, wait ...
It was. They ran into a better team. That has nothing to do with my comments. People do not think of Tennessee when they hear "UT" and aggy is really weird.
They did and that's to their credit. Football officiating and baseball umpiring are difficult and mistakes happen. Hahaha.... Not nearly at the same level but for a few years back in the '90s I used to umpire little league and pony league baseball in Dallas. It was fun but, every now and then, I'd miss a call and I knew it and, man, I'd catch it from parents and coaches. It makes you focus very quickly.
just kiddin with ya.
I think the problem is waiting SOOOO long to overturn the call. They should have flagged Texas for the delay (bottles) and overturned it. Then SEC office would not have been scuddling with a statement to make it worse. However, Birmingham is good about doing just that.
Yeah. Texas should have been penalized for delay or unsportsmanlike conduct.
I think the whole issuing the "I'm sorry" stuff was a bit reactionary. If i'm gonna pay a fine, I aint gonna kiss your ass to do it. SEC has become such a pr side show about things. When I was a kid and we were with family over there at games, it was what it was ... a good time and dudes kicking each other's ass.
I've tried to confirm this, but haven't been able to, either one way or the other.
I've seen calls overturned after discussion, but never that late.
People forget a few things about college football.... It is entertainment. It has become a big industry - literally an industry and all that implies. The gambling industry makes huge amounts of money on college football and basketball.
From a fan base that got an extra second on the clock that vaulted them into the NC game.
