Bama/Ole Miss ref mistake

[We_are_Bama]

Colorado was once given a 5th down. I think it was like 1990. The infamous "5th and goal" game

Refresh my memory: But why were were going hurry up when it was unclear if we had first down or not?

It wasn't unclear at that point...

The Bama staff is 100% responsible for the officiating error last week, somehow we have not learned, NEVER TRUST THE SEC. The University of Alabama must oversee, confirm and verify every action taken by the SEC as they have never dealt fairly or honestly with us. If this "error" had happened against Ole Miss we would have had a major investigation this week. Sorry for bringing up old battle scars but I can never forgive the SEC or their refs due to their track record.

Facepalm...

So what is your take on the Uthug game last year?

At what point should the officials be responsible for their errors?

I understand all that, but there was a game going on and the offensive staff has got to deal with a play clock, getting the play in and getting the snap before the clock runs out.
If the coaching staff were to question and down and spot, and the officiating crew not stop the clock, then it is going to be a five yard penalty and 1st and 15 then everyone is going to be furious with the coaching staff.

My point is not about this game or the officials in particular but that the SEC have never looked after Alabama. It has looked after Georgia, it has looked after Auburn and the league spent 30 years protecting Tennessee but given an opportunity the SEC will leave Bama high and dry.

Your point was conveyed poorly....

I just had the mental image of the play clock counting down while the Alabama staff was debating whether the officials should have made it clear Bama had earned a first down.
"You guys should have told us in time!"
"Okay. You're right. Next time."
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Delay of game now it first and goal on the 15.
"I am outraged. You guys missed the call!"
"We will try to do better."
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Delay of game.
1st and goal on the 20.
"You guys need to clearly indicate when a team makes a 1st down!"
"We'll do better in the future."
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Delay of game.
1st and goal on the 25.

How many iterations of this should we have gone through?

They review every friggin' thing all the time for everybody else. They can't take 2 minutes (or the 10 min norm) to review what might be a scoring play? It's so stupid it make me think there are some insidious happenings.

So much is reviewed for so long so many times for so many things that are so non-meaningful. Yet, for a score or possible score with some question about it, they're going to just say "nothing to see here, move along."

It's beyond the pale for me. Yet there's nothing I can do. It's unacceptable yet non-correctable by anyone except the commish (or whoever holds the power to do so). Somebody needs to take accountability.

Gahhhh, i've said the same thing so many times. Just go back to Jam Miller (I think) and his targeting disqualification. The number of identical tackles i see every weekend that aren't even thought about being looked at twice...but a bama player makes a heckuva tackle..."CHECK FOR TARGETING!".

Whoever is in charge of SEC Officiating needs to be replaced...

 

[GP for Bama]

SEC refs use the same motto as British royalty..... " Never comment and Never deny".

 

[GP for Bama]

Another situation happened this past week against MSU. The SEC officials /office often seems to review every ticky tacky play that could possibly be in question. Then we had an apparent TD catch that was ruled incomplete and was never even looked at.

That would be one Greg Sankey

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

Ultimately, yes.

But who is his underling in charge of that department?

Oh I was serious when I said Sankey. The buck stops with him on this. It is one of the things about his tenure that I am greatly displeased with, and one of the biggest reasons I actually don't like him as commissioner.

That would be one Greg Sankey

And John McDaid.
