Referees influencing the game again

[M R DAWGS]

On a BS celebration penalty on Vandy. Absolute horsesh**

 

[TBone.sixpack]

That was bad. Extends the game though lol

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

The best conference... the most inconsistent, inept officiating.

 

[WutheringDawg]

That may be against the rules but if so it’s a dumb 17ing rule. Is this the no fun league all over again?

 

[13thEagle]

I think the guy who threw the flag is an elected official in a south miss county

 

[Crazy Cotton]

now that is a two 17 up call. Should have been a touchdown for ole miss. But if you don't call it, it is an obvious pick for Vandy. Way to get two calls wrong in the same play, you stupid 17 officials.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Vandy player was out of bounds when he got control of the ball, announcers said.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I thought it was a catch

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Incomplete! Couldn't happen to a nicer prick wearing powder blue.

Gonna be some hollering if they don't get this 4th down.

 

[Drebin]

Common sense dictates that it was a catch...he had possession with his butt on the ground.

However, if the rule does state that the player has to "survive the ground," it didn't look like it did.

Completely agree, how in the hell could that have been an incompletion?? The ball never hit the ground. It is either a catch or an interception. Incompetent pricks.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

He didn’t “survive the ground” and the Vandy player was out of bounds.

 

[Shamoan]

I actually agree with the call. You can't toss the ball 15 yards in the air. It's going to get called 10 of 10 times in this league. Weak rule, but it was the correct call

 

[WutheringDawg]

Feel like the vandy dude’s hip touched before his legs out of bounds. Looked like either a td or a pick but I’m no replay official. But I guess that actually makes me more qualified

 

[JoMo MoJo]

Dude was just tossing over the shoulder to the back judge. Not his fault back judge obviously lacked athletic talent to make the catch

 

[M R DAWGS]

I didn’t realize the Vandy player was out of bounds. I stand corrected.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

^^ the celebration call was right. But getting to apply it to the next OT possession rather than the extra point is crap.

It wasn’t a catch, but it should have been if he just completed the tuck. He caught it, kinda half tucked it, then held it back out and the ball was still moving when the Vandy guy pulled it out. No idea why he was trying to maintain possession with one hand that was outstretched away from his body when he could have just tucked it or kept it in both hands.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Did y’all ever see that Jabar Gaffney “TD catch” against Tennessee?

 

[Shamoan]

Typically, that is enforced on the kickoff, but no kickoff in OT. Tough break. Would be nice to see it applied to untimed downs, i.e. Extra points so that it doesn't penalize the defense that severely

 

[Dawg1976]

Refs are really hurting the game. Too many penalties and reviews. Slowing the game down so it's not enjoyable to watch.

Dude was show-boating, trying to look cool, and it cost them the game. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

At Ole Miss, looking good is more important than being good.

Oh yeah I remember it. One of the worst calls in SEC history. No way it gets upheld today in the era of video review.
