They watered the field and they know it. Most cheating school in the NCAA. There was a reason we slid all over the field in the first half and they didn't. Changed out cleats in the second and it made a difference.
The humidity had been low the last couple of weeks and it hasn't trained in over a week. Paint had nothing to do with it our they would have only slipped where there was paint. Paint doesn't not make chunks of grass come upIf this is true, because the official could have been seriously injured, I would expect a full investigation by the SEC office. The sideline tarp is covered with spilled water/Gatorade and is ultra slick.
Still will go with paint as the primary reason, and then combined with humidity.
Heck, we whipped their butt and don't need to invent a reason that we could have beaten them worse.
It was apparent early from the get go. The ref was icing on the cake and scary.I've never seen anything like it.
And noticed it throughout the game, particularly in the 1st half, and posted about it in the game thread...
Not sure whether we changed shoes during halftime, but, as mentioned in this thread, it was also happening in the 2nd half...
What I'm wondering, tho, is whether this will be looked into, unless a formal complaint is filed...
One of my biggest concerns was DH slipping and pulling a hamstring...
No matter how you look at it, this was despicable...
Alabama's played a few games on soggy fields, but footing was more of an issue Saturday in perfect weather.

yep. they are always trying something. like jess so aptly said in his write up, it's tickle me elmo ball.I made the comment to a friend of mine that for a school that has a major in turf management, that field was one of the worst that I'd ever seen. Definitely suspicious. It seems like something happens every time we go to Jordan-Hare. I believe it was 2009 when a "wreck" on the interstate held our team bus from reaching the stadium until close to gametime and left little time for walk-throughs and warm-ups.
That's what I thought. Early on, it was like we have to beat the poor field, plus the refs, nevermind the barner team.It was apparent early from the get go. The ref was icing on the cake and scary.
At least Muschamp worked to even that up. Between the fans booing while the ref was down (falling on a surprisingly slick surface), and Muschamps explosion, (two guys, two guys hit Coker out of bounds) I think they helped to even the calls up a bit.That's what I thought.
