We got 17ed by the refs on that one.

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Referee through the bag and waved his hands and it was down.

 

[Bill Shankly]

Yes, it shouldn't have been that close anyway.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

That's beside the point. This crew has blew one whistle after another on us and the son of a ***** just swallowed his whistle on that one.

 

[Dawgpile]

I still don't understand how that play wasn't dead with the touch.

 

[PineGroveBully]

***** ref afraid to correct the call

 

[Jddrew1142]

Touching the ball does not make it dead. If we bat it, it is live until fielded

 

[3000lbchicken]

No we suck so bad we don’t even know we suck. No timeout there? **** this ****

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

One referee threw his bag and raised his hands to start signaling dead ball. Then other referee put his whistle in his mouth to blow it dead and then swallowed it. I was expecting the SEC crew to be ****** but this is ridiculous

 

[SLUdog]

Another player touched it.

 

[DoomSlayer]

***** ref afraid to correct the call

Exactly. He was scared to go to tell his buddies he blew it dead and no way can it count.

 

[o_Ernest T]

2nd guy had a knee on the ground and hand on the ball

 

[Dogariffic]

The state player had his hand on the ball and knee on the ground.
Thanks a lot SEC crew.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

But not possession.

 

[thekimmer]

He did down it…

Touching the ball does not make it dead. If we bat it, it is live until fielded

Ref threw the bean bag and was waiving hit 17ing arms. That was bush league by the officials

 

[Jddrew1142]

Hand on ball is not possession. Sad that our fanbase is bitching about the refs. You watch the whole game and the refs are to blame for this. LOL

The red screwed up but the result was exactly correct according to the rules. We have to actually possess the ball.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Pick the GD ball up, give it the ref

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Not if he throws the bean bag and signals time is the play is over.

[Philly Dawg]

If you don't think kneeling with the hand on the ball, the bean bag down, and the ref waving his hands is down, you need to stick to contract bridge.

 

[Upyurs]

How much more possession do you need that knee down and hand in the ball?

 

[Dogariffic]

Yes it is knee and touch ball is down.

 

[DoomSlayer]

Not if he throws the bean bag and signals time is the play is over.

This. It doesn’t matter if the play was called correctly. It only matters that a ref signaled it down and was walking toward the ball to spot it.

 

[Bullldawg78]

How the 17 do you get a penalty called on the review that wasn't called on the original play?????

 

[Dogariffic]

How much more possession do you need that knee down and hand in the ball?

None. It’s instantious. Knee down. Hand on ball you are down.
I don’t Carr about the game but on this call was wrong..

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

None. It’s instantious. Knee down. Hand on ball you are down.

That’s not right. If you’re laying on the ground and touch a fumbled ball, you don’t get the ball - you gotta have possession.

 

[prdubya]

Annnnd they just showed 2 #4s on that play. So much ref error on one play…

 

[Dogariffic]

Wrong. Watch the replay. State player had knee on ground and hand on ball. That is possession. Again I don’t care about the game because we played like crap but that play is bs.

 

[anon1756333655]

Can’t help but feel like Leach doesn’t care. Mullen would have ben standing on the logo on the 50 yard line with his pants tied around his head contesting that punt return.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

The red screwed up but the result was exactly correct according to the rules. We have to actually possess the ball.

The ref waved his arms over his head!
PLAY DEAD!!

 

[Dogariffic]

Leach should have taken his clothes off and run across the field naked to make sure the refs did a formal review on the punt return for a td.
Again I don’t care that we lost the game because we played like crap but that call was wrong.
Knee down. Hand on top of the ball pinning the ball to the ground is down…
That is all there is.
