BamaRef22, I apologize for the way I put things in my reply to RazedRite making it sound like fact. I don't have a collegiate officials' training manual. If you have a link to one online that I can readily read, I will refer to it in the future. My statements were from my observations watching...

RazedRite, I appreciate your reply. The head ref IS responsible for the backfield, which covers "holding", "intentional grounding" and "roughing the quarterback." The umpire positioned behind the linebackers is responsible for anything between him and the line of scrimmage. His...

In my post starting this thread, I was hoping everyone would actually read the points completely (or at least on the ones they don't agree with what I saw and documented). For instance, on the Andre holding call to negate the touchdown, no one is even mentioning that Penn Wagers, the head ref IN...

Matt Moore was the head ref in the Ole Miss game. That game didn't seem that badly officated to me; we just played terribly (and Jevon Snead is GOOD). The Kentucky game was the next worst compared to the LSU game, and the head ref was Hubert Owens. Remember those two long passes to Julio...

Due to the arguing over the suspect officiating, annoying CBS commentating, etc in the LSU game, I went back through the CBS recording of the game to give everyone a detailed and factual account. There are always calls missed on both sides, but these were flat-out obvious calls missed or botched...

I remember the commentator saying that, but it's not true. In 2004, I was down on the field around the recruits during pregame (I believe the Auburn game) and remember walking by Jimmy Barnes and Prince Hall hanging out. Prince stood there watching Brandon Brooks muff punts in warm-ups while...

I found this on YouTube while searching for the Orgeron song. If this has already been posted, I apologize. R.Robinson hits the nail on the head! That intensity would get me fired up as a player :rolleye2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwafWHq6-QU

Why should the students be there for all 4 quarters when the team is only playing 2 per game?

What gets me is that the refs didn't see the obvious false start by the center. He steps to pitch it before the ball is moved!

"Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" or "The giver of opportunity (to other teams)" seems to be Shula's mindset. He seems to lack that killer instinct. We repeatedly don't capitalize off of turnovers. We'll get an interception and run three plays up the middle and punt/kick a field...

I remember him checking off to a TOTALLY UNCOVERED DJ Hall for the game winning touchdown last year against Arkansas... That's not what I'm talking about. Brodie didn't take the time to call out a different play because D.J. would've been covered (thanks to the shouting from the student...

I don't think it has anything to do with JPW's inexperience. Brodie never checked off, and he was a 5th year senior with three years under Shula. One thing I have noticed is that we take our sweet time calling in a play, so we get to the line with about 8 seconds or less on the play clock...

Gotta be Ole Miss 2004. The only team w/ similar visiting uniforms would be MTSU, but they didn't bring a big band in uniform. Can't be USC because they wear solid black pants, and it would just say USC on the scoreboard.

[ Brodie ran the option under Fran, splitting series after the OU game w/ Tyler Watts. He got drilled a few times on the pitch and when he kept it, almost breaking him in half. The irony is, he didn't really start getting hurt until he started dropping back to pass in Shula's offense with...

I know I was at the MSU game when he got hurt on Saturday. Each student ticket has a picture of one of the Bama players. Prothro was on the Florida ticket and JB is on the LSU ticket for this week. I don't know if Brodie was on the W. Carolina student ticket last year; that's what I was...

I was looking at my LSU ticket and thinking how sad it was that JB Closner is on it. Prothro was on the Florida ticket. Was Brodie on the W. Carolina ticket last year?

Watery grave I guess I was too subtle. Oh well. P.S.-I know USM is the Golden Eagles.

If I were a USM fan/player and could understand the words while "Yea, Alabama!" was being sung, I would definitely be more offended than listening to "Rammer Jammer". Where are we sending those yellowjackets again? Just a thought. P.S.-Guess we should re-word our fight song this season...
